Hating on the Hose

I did too, it was huge. WHY did we have stuffed snakes??? Worst idea for a cuddly toy, ever!

there's a lot of folks out there with pet snakes that might disagree... of course, maybe that's where they got their start

In college, I had a big, pink furry snake-a gift from a boyfriend. (not the bullfrog)
We named it "Throckmorton". I saved it for my children.

I hate even thinking about snakes. I grew up on the island of Okinawa populated by extremely poisonous snakes called habus. Left me with a snake phobia.

I hate the hose too. Since I got the dreamwear I don't do nightly battles with it.

I'm a hose hanger enthusiast. It really just takes the hose out of the picture, off the bed, and off of you. The dreamwear mask also allowed me to ignore the hose, but that mask didn't work for me. I second the motion on the cheap hose hangers you can get from Amazon, been using one of those at home and have another one for traveling for several years now, and they work and just take the hose out of the picture at night.

By the way, snakes give me the willies, too. If god had meant me to like snakes, I wouldn't shudder every time I see one. And you know, the garden of eden (albeit a serpent, but they're all the same to me) and all, it all just points at snakes being creepy. You can like them if you want, I don't have to *smile*.

got my hose cozy -- so much better! Next step, working on the hanging up thing.

If you have a headboard, just run it behind the headboard, up and over to you.

nope; no headboard. May hang it from the ceiling with rubber bands like I saw on YouTube--we'll see

You can hang one of those Command Hooks on the wall behind the bed. They are pretty sturdy. Then use big rubber bands (I use narrow elastic headbands you can buy in packs of 6 for a few dollars--they are really sturdy) and hang your hose with them.

Here was my original contraption to hang my hose. https://maskarrayed.wordpress.com/2010/ ... your-hose/ I now use a variation with a larger nylon clothesline pulley
