Why wont my ferret sleep in the hammock?

August 11th, 2011 5 comments

We just got a ferret 2 days ago and he won’t sleep in is hammock. His cage is big but he chooses to sleep on the ground. He did a friend when we got him but we didn’t get the friend. Could he be depressed and we play with him a lot.

okay….umm this is a weird question to ask…but oh well….?

I dreamt the world was ending. Interpretation help?

August 1st, 2011 6 comments

A week ago, I had a dream that I just can’t shake. The whole time I was never afraid and stayed totally calm and collected, which is strange, since it’s a crazy dream.

My dad, sister, aunt and I were standing by a shopping center. Some scientists were drilling a hole to the center of the earth, and we were standing about 50 feet from the hole with a crowd of people, wondering if they reached yet.

Suddenly, there was an earthquake. We 4 grabbed each other and started running. My aunt twisted her ankle, but we helped her to a hammock near her house, then continued running home.

We get to my parents’ house, and my mom has some bags prepared for us with clothing and food. My cell phone is dead. I look outside the window, and can see the river. The sky is sunset. There is an airplane falling slowly from the sky some distance away, broken into 4 pieces, and I’m just watching, wondering about the people that were on that plane. Satellites and towers are falling from the sky now too, crashing into buildings and skysrapers around us, but not hurting us specifically. There were some boats in the water with people on them, I guess escaping as well.

We leave the house and get on a yellow school bus, evacuating the city with others, some driving, most are walking. I remember a book I left at home (not forgot, but changed my mind about bringing, and I don’t know what book it was!!), so I said I would go back and meet up with them, since traffic was slow and we were still so close. I go to my house, and get a phone call on the landline from my youngest sister (not the one I was standing with at the beginning), who has stopped back over to my parent’s house for something as well. She says she found a folder addressed to me with a message I should read. I tell her to bring it with her and I’ll meet her on the bus, but wake up just as I hang up.
I don’t regularly watch TV, and I can’t remember the last time I sat down and actually watched a movie beginning to end, so it shouldn’t have much to do with the dream. I have not taken a test lately, but my job has been super stressful. I don’t know whether to quit or to stay, but my nerves/health are starting to get affected. I have been seriously thinking about going back to school too.

Swing in a hammock, feel good summer night music?

August 1st, 2011 3 comments

I need a playlist for those summer nights at the beach, swinging in a hammock with your girlfriend, feel good music. I like rock, reggae, hiphop whatever you can throw at me!
The only request is that it isn’t in Top 40 rotation. I don’t want a radio playlist.

Thank you!!!

Looking for nice beach music?

July 29th, 2011 2 comments

I’m heading to Costa Rica in a few weeks and I want to put together a couple hours worth of good beach/tropical kind of music. I’m talking things like steel guitar/drums, instrumentals, maybe some spanish type stuff. Basically anything that comes to mind when you imagine sitting in a hammock on the beach. Similar to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0xoMhCT-7A (Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole – "What A Wonderful World")
Any particular artists to look at for this? I’m not familiar with international music at all.

Give me a few great tropical rock songs?

July 24th, 2011 4 comments

I’m not looking for Beach Boys (even though I do love them), I’m looking for songs that would be absolutely perfect for laying in a hammock on a tropical beach, on a lazy day, just sipping some pink lemonade. Examples would be "I’m Yours" by Jason Mraz or "Constellations" by Jack Johnson. Anything like that.

Why wont my rat come to me?

July 23rd, 2011 4 comments

i just got a female rat from a local petstore (she and her litter mates were much healthier looking than petco and petsmart rats) i know they need a friend but my mom hardly allowed me to get one. i have had her for 3-4 days and she will let me hold her, she has groomed my finger, and she fell asleep next to me last night…but when i go to the cage she does not come to me, i have to reach in and gently grab her to get her out, the only food she will eat directly from me is yogurt on a spoon, but she wont take anything else from me. she also is very energetic outside the cage, sniffing everything and climbing around, but when i put here inside, she hardly moves, she will climb up to her hammock, or go inside her house, but other than that she hardly moves, and if she is walking somewhere, will sometimes randomly stand still for a bit….is she just new and nervous?? and if i can hold her without objection, why wont she come to me or take food???? sorry for rambling on but i am just a bit confused… 8-]
useful answers only please. and yes, i am sure rats find all humans weird lookin. 8-]
thanks, i have watched those videos, and did follow the first few steps…but what if she wont take food from you, and doesnt get at all excited when she sees food??? and she doesnt act scared when i hold her, she sniffs around and climbs my hands….

Anyone ever used a hammock while in labor? Help me find one!!?

July 19th, 2011 3 comments

While reading one of my pregnancy and delivery books, I came across these hammocks that are used in labor and delivery to support the mama under the arms. The hammock (could be just a very long piece of fabric too) is hung in a loop from the ceiling and mama leans over the fabric with it tucked under her arms to allow support and weight to be taken off her feet when labor has progressed. Can be adjusted so mama is standing or kneeling. I am considering making one if I cannot find it but not sure how that will fly with the hospital!! :P Any idea where I could find one??
Thanks!!
I will check with the hospital…That hadn’t occurred to me! :P This is birth #5 and I would have LOVED to have one of these with the others when I got to the exhaustion part :) I will be water birthing again too!

My sister and I are looking to rent a little shack on the beach in Hawaii, how do we find the good deals?

July 15th, 2011 2 comments

We want to rent a place for about two months. We’re on a budget, so we don’t need anything fancy. We’ll be happy with a little place sleeping in a hammock! Just as long as it’s close to the beach so we can relax and surf. We are currently living pretty far away, so how can we find a place without actually traveling there? If anyone has a place there that they rent out, or knows someone that does that would help a TON! Thanks

Can I have a hammock in my room without drilling into the wall or ceiling?

July 14th, 2011 2 comments

I’ve found this product on play.com http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/934387/Hang-Out-Hammock/Product.html and it seems really cool however I’d want it in my room. The problem is it’d be for my house at Uni which I don’t own, I’m only renting so I can’t drill into the walls or ceiling. I also can’t afford a proper hammock stand. So I’m just wondering if there is any cheap way of setting up a hammock in my room without having to spend loads on a stand or drill into the walls or ceiling.

Thanks in advance :)
Is there anyway of making a cheap stand or anywhere that sells them cheaply?

I need a little help with the material for making a hammock?

July 12th, 2011 2 comments

I seen many materials used to make a hammock.Anything from canvas to silk seems to be used, but Im trying to find the right material for my weight, comfort, durability, mobility, etc. Im 6′1" and weigh around 210lbs and was looking for a relatively light material to take on backpacking trips with me. What type of material would be best, and what weight fabric or material should I look for?

My rats/rat cage smell like urine constantly. Any suggestions?

July 9th, 2011 4 comments

I have 5 male rats that are about 10-12 weeks old. 3 of the males are from the same litter and the other 2 are from a different litter. The 2 are also a week or so older. I have a 5 level ferret cage for them and it seems there is more than enough space for them. I clean their cage every four days and the very next day after I clean the cage, it immediately smells like urine. I bathe them all before I put them back in the cage and they also smell like urine, a day or so later. They poo and pee in their house, on the levels, in their hammock…everywhere! I’ve considered litter training them but a friend told me they won’t urinate in the litter, only poo. I’m not going to give them away but I can’t stand the smell! Please help!

is there a way to tighten up a hammock?

July 6th, 2011 1 comment

my hammock is all stretched out–i keep putting it up higher but now it is as high as it can go-or I won’t be able to get into or out of it without flipping it over–which is probably amusing for my neighbors–but not so relaxing to me!
thanks!

Sleeping in a hammock as opposed to a bed?

July 2nd, 2011 4 comments

I am considering getting a hammock to replace my bed, and I was wondering a few things:
Would you recommend it? Why or why not?
What is the best model to get?
For the people out there: I am not going to get your standard white rope backyard model. I am going to get one to sleep in every night (if I get one). I heard that one fell asleep faster, slept better, and woke up feeling refreshed. Am I right?

My rat doesnt appear to be sleeping?

June 23rd, 2011 3 comments

I have 2 female rats (ive owned pet rats before). Anyway, ive had the girls for 3 months now so they are about 5 months old. One is called alyce and one is called sam. Sam is alot fatter than alyce and much more docile, alyce is smaller but more hyperactive. When alyce isnt hyperactive, shes fast asleep. I can open the cage door (which is quite noisy) and talk to them and she stays fast asleep. Not to mention her ability to fall asleep on me alot of the time. Anyway, in comparison, Sam seems to never sleep. The cage is on ground floor, and if the rats are up and i have a spare 10 minutes i will get them out and just walk around with them on my shoulder, but otherwise i leave them be except for in the evening where they come out for a few hours. Whenever i go past cage, Sam is wide awake, well 90% of the time she is. Even if i go down silently. Shes either lying in the hammock with alyce (asleep) with her eyes wide open, or she will be standing on her cargo net looking out of the cage. As this occurs during the day im quite confused and worried. Is she ok with this amount of sleep? A friend suggested it may be her ‘watching guard’ over Alyce? Any thoughts?
Cheers
