Is this writing okay? How can i spice it up a bit?

September 1st, 2010 4 comments

(I apologize that you don’t really know what’s going on or who the characters are…this is in the middle of my book!)

Clara giggled and continued, "Well now that that’s out of the way, there are so many things I need to show you. It’s not every day that teams get a new member. In fact, I dont think its ever even happened! You’re more of special cercumstance. In the good way of course! Anyway, I’ll start off with the basics. Where you sleep, where the water and food and stuff is, the daily schedual, and, you know, the other essentials. Oh and I’ll assign you a job."
She took my arm and led me through the camp. When the rest of the team just stayed where they were, staring at us, Clara turned to them and said, "Well, dont just stand there, guys! We have so much to do! You’ll all get to talk to Lena later, don’t worry." A few of them said things like, "Oh okay." A few of the boys made playful faces at her but they all scattered off around the camp.
Clara and I were standing in between two huts made of logs and wood. They weren’t very long, but they looked to be almost two stories. There were no roofs, just large canvas tarps nailed across the top. On top of the canvases was a thick layer of leaves. Both of the little cabins stood facing each other at the edges of the cleared part of the camp.
She pointed to the cabin on the right and explained, "This is the girl’s cabin. It might be a little bit tight now, but we’ll make sure there’s enough room for you. I’m pretty sure we have an extra hammock for you in storage, but if we need to, making you one won’t take ong at all. Especially since this year we have Sarah. She’s of the best seamstresses in the village! She can have your hammock done by sundown if we need it. We’ll go inside later when your bed is there. The left cabin is of course for the boys."

Thanks soo much for reading :) If you would tell me what you thought of this(if you thought it was too boring) and what you thought my writing. Any CONSTRUCTIVE comments are greatly accepted :)
I’m happy if you have any suggestions that concern spelling and punctuation, but I would really like it if you could focus on the content and writing style of my story :) Thankss!!
Oh btw…this is probably some of the worst writing i’ve done in a while haha so that’s why I’m asking for helpp

August 25th, 2010 2 comments

How can I tell if it's too hot or too cold for my rats?

August 2nd, 2010 6 comments

It’s 80 degrees in my room right now. The windows are open so there’s a slight breeze, but it’s not helping any. I’m so hot I feel like I could pass out, so I know these rats must be really hot as well. I put a dish of ice water in their cage to help them cool down, but I don’t know how much that’ll help since they seem to be completely avoiding it. I’m more worried about the 16 babies though since they’re all in a pile in a hammock… I don’t know how they could stand to sleep like that in this heat.
The only room that’s slightly cooler than mine is the bathroom, and their cage doesn’t fit in there. And Petco is 2 hours away…
I put them in my garage with a fan. They have some frozen cranberries and bananas… they seem happy x]

Help with our ferret please?

July 24th, 2010 1 comment

She will be 8 on 2/2 and when I went in to freshen up her food and water I noticed her hind end was hanging out the side of her hammock. When I picked her up and set her on the carpet to get her some exercise she would not stand up on her back legs. She just lays there. She is blind and her tail is bald. Is this the beginning of the end? I don’t want to take her to the vet if they are just going to put her to sleep. Advice?

I want to sleep outside tonight on my hammock but the skunk keeps coming up to my door.

How can I prevent it from spraying me? I want to sleep out there really. I live out in the country.

Leisurely lounging help: What's the difference between a regular hammock and a banana hammock?

May 31st, 2010 6 comments

Which is more comfortable? Which holds more weight? I want to get one for my husband. He is quite heavyset and I don’t want it to break…
No AllyBill-

I mean a real Hammock- you know the kind you put in the back yard and you lay in it to sleep. Get your mind out of the gutter.

My son who bedwets wants to sleep out in the yard in the hammock so he won't need diapers. Should I let him?

May 25th, 2010 25 comments

My 10 year old still wets his bed (hopefully it’ll clear up soon, that’s what the doctor says. It’s just the way his body is growing.) He wears diapers to bed so he doesn’t have to wake up in wet sheets. Now that the weather is warmer, he wants to sleep out in the hammock in the yard so he won’t need diapers. If he has an accident, it’ll just go in the grass. Do you think I should let him?

Is a small guinea pig hammock ok for hamsters?

I have a large cage, my hamster could go in it for fun. But she has a sleep hide out.

how often should I clean my pet rats hammock in their cage?

May 20th, 2010 2 comments

They sleep on it all the time and they also pee on it. How often should I clean and how should it be done so that it doesn’t cause any harm to them?
The problem is that there is metal clips on each side (so 4 clips) that I can’t remove. Does it matter what soap I would use to clean it as well?

Alternate ways to hang a hammock indoors..?

May 18th, 2010 2 comments

Hey all,

I’m getting a hammock so that I can sleep in my studio space but unfortunately there are no beams in the wall for me to fix the screws into. It is only a small space so there isn’t really enough room for me to have a stand for it. I was just wondering if anyone knew any other possible ways I could hang
It safely?

Please go into detail if you have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

How do I get my rat to sleep on his hammock…?

I’ve been trying this with him for the last year and he only likes the small houses, is there a way to teach him to sleep in it (Should I take away his house).

Should I be worried about my new guinea pig?

April 19th, 2010 10 comments

I just got a guinea pig earlier today and I have a small cardboard box in his cage with bedding in it for him to sleep in. He just stays in that small cardboard box all day long. He stays in the corner and does not move at all. He is still alive though. When I pet him, he just stands still and does not move at all. He isn’t even moving around in his cage at all, not even in his small cardboard box. He’s been in the corner all day long not moving to eat or drink at all. I even bought him a small hammock and hung it in his cage but he just stays in the corner of the small cardboard box. Should I be worried or is he just a little scared right now? I am a first time guinea pig owner. Any help would be appreciated. All he does is sit in the corner, not even blinking.
For everyone’s information… I ALWAYS research on a pet before I get it so I can always care for it properly. I hate people who just get a pet and don’t know anything about it but I’m not like that. Just wanted to let everyone know that.

What are the beach beds (outside) called??

January 16th, 2010 2 comments

Ok I see this commercial about once a week for a wonderful beach resort, which highlights a bed out on a deck overlooking the gorgeous ocean.

It is a DreaM of mine to sleep on one of these beds while on a much-needed vacation. I can just imagine how comforting it must be!

What are those beds called? I know they have a specific name. It’s not a hammock obviously or a futon..It has some exotic name and I simply cannot think of it right now! lol

Help me please! I want to do a search and stay at a resort that has the outdoor beach beds as a luxury I can partake in!

Thank you :)

My ferret wont sleep in his hammock, should i just take it out?

December 12th, 2009 2 comments

my ferret wont sleep in his hammock, and i dont know if i should just take it out, ive only had him for a couple days, but he doesnt seem to like it, and he cant climb up to the second level to get to the food dish, so i moved it for now.

where is the cheapest place to have a 3 month beach vacation?

I need a very low day-to-day cost of living. Roughing it is OK as long as there’s a hammock.
anywhere in the world! it just needs to cost very little to eat and sleep each day.

i’m not looking for all-inclusive resorts or hotels.

How do you have a good nights sleep in a hammock?

October 14th, 2009 2 comments

ok guys ive been camping in hammocks for over 10 years, from net and tarp, to home made jungle hammocks and even a hennessy dupe.

Ive dangled over rivers, mountain edges, rain forests and deserts (dont ask!!)

I am putting together a free short and concise guide to the ultimate night sleep in a camping hammock and would value some others people tips and techniques to make it more varied.

So does any one have any tips?

Does sleeping in a hammock for extended periods of time leave permanent effects?

October 4th, 2009 2 comments

I’ve been sleeping in a hammock every night since about October. I switched one out with my regular bed. But sometimes I find myself slouching a lot more than usual, and I am very conscious of my back now. I’m always straightening it. Does anyone know if hammocks can harm the back? It’s a Mayan hammock, no bars, and I sleep in it so my back arches with the curve of the hammock.

Which is better when camping to minimize back pain – a cot or portable hammock?

July 23rd, 2009 9 comments

I often go tent camping with my family and am looking for something different to sleep upon. We used to use air mattresses, but they are so big and bulky and never last as long as they should because of air leakage. I was thinking about getting either a cot or portable hammock. Which would be better to minimize lower back pain, which I often suffer from? I think a cot would be fine so long as it didn’t have a metal bar in the center. If anyone knows of where I can buy one like that, please let me know.

Thanks!
