My random stuff
I convinced Mr. Mod to go hammock camping in two weeks!. Yep us sleeping in hammocks, no tent! He's all excited because he thinks it sounds hardcore and he gets to buy new gear. I am all excited because I won't have to sleep on the ground and I won't have to sweep out the tent. Plus if we don't have a tent to throw all our gear around in we shouldn't have so much crap to pick up when we're ready to leave.
Clyde, the spider, did not die. That or he left an heir to take over his legacy. This makes me want to not sell the Focus because what if the new owners kill Clyde?
I said something snotty to my officemate about another coworker. Basically that I was going to nominate her for what not to wear because she must have been through a fire and had only 3 ugly dresses left. My officemate said, "Ah, she's 3 mos pregnant. Unplanned. And it's all that fits her and hides the pregnancy. She'll announce soon." I didn't feel at all bad about my snarky comment and said "She's 36 and has 2 kids. HOW did she manage to get pregnant by accident?" I am a bitchohyesIam

Re: My random stuff
Unplanned pregnancy is not an excuse to dress like a hobo. I wouldn't feel bad at all.
You are adorable. I just want to pat you on the head because you're so cute. But I won't because then you'll mock my choice of outfit.
Isn't it too cold to go camping without a tent?

Cali, evidently not. There are a bunch of crazies who hammock camp in the snow. Supposedly with a sleeping pad in your hammock and a decent sleeping bag you're good to go. I will let you know in 2 weeks! Wheeeeeee
ETA: Mr. Mod is annoyed that I want to keep a $1500 spider house. And if Clyde was in our apartment I'd stomp that motherfuckingspider myself.

I like hammocks. Still wouldn't like camping though.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I attribute my hobosity to laziness and love of comfort, not the unplanned fetus.
Yeah. I have no fetus, planned or unplanned, and I am still dressed like a hobo slob in pants that are two sizes too big, and a shirt that gently hugs the pooch of back fat created by my too-small bra. I really need to go shopping.
If there were a spider in my car I would have a wreck. Maybe even on purpose, as long as I took that mofo down with me. But mostly it would be a direct result of the involuntary spaz out that happens when I see a spider. Creepy little freaks.
Rain makes people lose their minds. Drivers on the road, kids in the classroom, all of them. Crazygonuts. It makes me really sleepy and apparently cranky and impatient.
Do you sleep in a hammock uncovered? You must not live in mosquito country. I'd be one giant mosquito bite if I attempted that! I like hammocks for a quick nap but cannot imagine a whole night in one.
I need a bona fide mattress and indoor plumbing to survive.
Your enjoyment of the outdoors will always perplex me.
I share your confusion at accidental pregnancy.
No the hammocks come with mosquito netting, some hammocks have it built into the hammock, others have sort of a mosquiton netting coccoon you slip the hammock through.
They also have lightweight stakeout rainflys. I do not intent to camp in the rain, so whatever, but Mr. Mod wants all the gear.

Are yours like this?

This is my hammock
I am probably getting this bugnet
We might get the one Kiz posted for Mr. Mod or we might get him one called the Warbonnet Blackbird which has a built in pocket for a sleeping pad.
What I want to be sure I have is a way to make it so my hammock is also a good place to hang out during the day.
And Fallin, the Kindle fits perfectly in the hammock pocket.

I sprung for a very nice foldable cot for when we camp. H just sleeps on the floor of the tent in his sleeping bag and then complains that he has a backache the next day. The cot is awesome.
We went walking around in Bass Pro Shop's camping section (we love Gear) and saw the cot that has the "tent" around the cot so all you are sleeping in is this cot-tent. We decided it was very coffin-like and creepy and we wouldn't be able to sleep in one. Plus without a tent, where do you store the coolers, campfire/cooking gear, clothes/shoes, etc?
It is your destiny to have a hammocktent.
Tasty, we don't put any thing inside our tent other than our clothes anyway. And with hammock camping they would either go in the hammock with us or we would suspend the clothing bag from the hammock rigging. We leave our locking cooler and cooking gear outside if we are car camping at a KOA. When we camp in state or national parks with wildlife concerns we put everything in the bear locker.

ah-ha! I've never really been camping anywhere where wildlife would pose a true threat. : ) though I guess I'd be pretty mad if a raccoon scratched open our tent to get our stuff out, too.
what we REALLY want to get is a pop-up camper for summer vacations with Pickle. My family had one when I was a kid and we went everywhere with that thing.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
We thought we wanted that too. And I suppose if we'd gone the kid route, we would have. But now, what is really important to us is not being able to see another single solitary person when we go camping. I hate the pressure pretending to not see the people in the campground beside our. It feels like such fake "getting away from it all".

Touche! I only camp in tents made with kevlar and reinforced steel.
