    MATTRESS! ugh. wondering if its rude to hang myself while visiting daughter ;)

    Wife and I just got used to full time hanging for last 2 months. I decided to make a trip to visit new grandson for a month maybe? Its been 2 sleeps and yep! I MISS my nicaraguan hammock, way more than i figured She has a great guest room here 'Great' mattress. Her Room and Babys room. I bought by Hennessy ultra lite (just in case but there is not a whole lot of available locations to hang?
    Do I drill holes in the walls trying it out? naw, probably not
    Wait a few more 'Awful' sleeps, my body will adjust, I'm sure?
    Call upon the Greek God of Hammock... forget the name?
    Get real creative and put up a DIY hammock stand in Babys room. ( I like this one )

    Darn comfy hammock sleeping! I can't decide which I miss more on this trip. MY wife, she had to stay home this time, or the hammock she is sleeping in?
    Interesting findings for sure

    Its how you use what just happened to make the best of everything that follows. - me, I just said that.

    That's quite a pickle you're in, ChrisPB. Drill straight through the walls. She'll hardly notice

    Do you both sleep in only one hammock?

    I think that would be Hypnos, the god of sleep. His house had no doors or gates because he didn't want to be woken up by a squeak. I'm sure mattress springs would also have been banned

    I'm sure she will understand, but I don't think it would be the end of the world.

    Nope, one each. but within a arm reach to each other. makes it fun to kiss goodnight if we want to do that while still in each hammock its fun. a swinging 1 2 3 kind of thing.

    Good timing too. my daughters Other mother (the in law) is planning a visit soon. one spare room with the mattress. I will be 'nice' and give up the mattress room to the MOM in Law. I nice like that.
