AMJ Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 That was correct. (Typed while resting my head on my new silk pillowcase) How do you manage to hold your head on there? I always found them too slippery. We would wake up with naked pillows and the pillow case on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would wake up with naked pillows and the pillow case on the floor. My head seems ok with it. I only got one so the one underneath it would have more grip. The pillowcase sort of wraps around the pillow so out won't fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look on in envy as you more horizontally coordinated folk relax and enjoy them. I had a nice fabric one, so nothing to get tangled up in. I used to lay in it and nurse the youngest when she was little. She was a hard baby. I remember thinking before she was born how I'd like to get a baby hammock thingy, but they were expensive. Us laying in the big hammock was the best thing. You would find us in the middle of winter, wrapped in a blanket, swinging in the hammock. Yes, she was that hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I got myself (though I'll share with the family) a hammock!!! I've been wanting one for years. It's so comfy. I want to try it on a boat. I love hammocks, but will give you some solid advice here. If the hammock is too high for you to get into easily, step on something to get into it as opposed to jumping wildly and then flipping yourself over it backwards, landing on your head/shoulder, and damaging the cartilage in your sternum so that you can't sneeze without severe pain for the following month. Ask me how I know. No, don't ask; just trust me on this one. :D 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 We used to have one. Best. thing. ever. I'm going to have to buy another one. Where did you get yours? I just bought it at Costco. It's made of parachute silk, so no netting to get tangled up in. It's very easy to set up and take down, too. It's called Chillax (made by La Siesta). It was $40 Canadian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I can spin this in a funny way. I was lied to and stolen from. Anyone who knows me knows how seriously I take that. It makes me question so much more, and it's not being taken seriously because it was just $xx. Honestly, I'd be able to deal with being cheated on better than I'm dealing with this.

It's called Chillax (made by La Siesta). It was $40 Canadian. The one we had was made of some rough fabric, knitted well together. It was very nice. Until one of our dogs thought it would be a great idea to keep peeing on it when someone didn't hang it back up completely and a piece was lying on the ground. You cannot clean it enough. We wound up throwing it. I need to look for another. We don't have a Cosco in our area. I'll be doing some hammock research online...

I despise being lied to more than anything in the world, and do not forgive easily. And to have it brushed off as not a serious thing because it was a small amount of money is ridiculous. It did not belong to that person they are not entitled to have it. It doesn't matter if it was a quarter, it is the notion that they felt they had a right to take what wasn't their's in the first place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mental picture put me in mind of the time I decided to gracefully leap across my garden (I was feeling all happy and full of spring), landed almost hip deep in a hole that used to have a post in it, and for a full three seconds I was pretty sure I'd fractured my femur. That was the last time I danced in the garden!

For some reason, this reminds me of the time I was pregnant with my second. I was about 5 months along, but big. The neighbor (we live in a triplex) was showing me something, so I climbed the fence to see. Now, this is a log fence, I was stepping on a log about a foot off the ground. I could not figure out how to get down. At all. I had to call my husband from inside the house to help me climb down. That was the second time it had happened. The first time, I had climbed a higher fence. I thought the low fence was safe. The best I can think of it, is that my center of gravity was completely thrown off and I thought I would fall. It was hilarious then, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
