Dang Radix - the first three pics had me so watered up i couldn't see the rest!
Ya liked that, eh?? Got on email from my obnixious little brother! He he he!!
Maybe you can help. I have to run and bbl, but I've decided bentfeather has to get one. Wrote this last night:
"We agree to disagree but a firm bed is wrong for what you have even if the dr says otherwise. Firm beds cause all the symptoms you're talking about. I broke a vertebra in my back 40 years ago and wore braces for 10 years till neighbors talked us into trying a waterbed and I have never looked back. Five nights on the waterbed and I haven't worn a back brace more than 3 or 4 times in 40 years! Just like the guy with the Percocet, the pain was gone.
"I can't tell you the agony I suffer when traveling, and we stay at only the best. Each night passes with increased tossing and turning an trying to get comfortable. When you are sleeping on the waterbed you do not move; you're out like a light. You are floating on fluid the same temperature as your skin. It's a virutal womb; you can't say it's not comfortable. And the more open the mattress the better; baffles ruin the effect. The open mattress is the cheapest mattress. too. It was the ONLY mattress when I started buying them, but they are still the most relaxing and the one you should get. Heated."
I talked hubby into it when we got married and now he can't sleep on a reg. bed at all. ESpecially since he had treatment for a herniated disk a couple of years ago. As for getting out of them: I roll to my tummy, get on all fours and step my leg off. It's easy!! Even 9 months preggo!! :o) I do differ in one thing: we have baffles because hubby is VERY prone to sea-sickness. We even got one for the farm. AND, one thing I have noticed anytime I sleep on a regular mattress is that my hands are always asleep when I wake up. That almost NEVER happens on the waterbed!! :o)
LOL!
Hiya Beach! My math teacher doesn't like mathematics. She's obsessed with geometry, though. As in so obsessed, she dressed up as a graphing claculator for Halloween. We told her she should have been a proof.
But she pales in comparison to my history teacher who is so obsessed with Napolean that when he realized we were starting the unit on Napolean, he started jumping up and down and cheering. I think he knows everything there is to know on Napolean and then some.
And then there's my English teacher who has a weird obsession with making fun of my history teacher. She calls him a "wannabe English teacher" because he never gives homework, but grades essays like a person overly obessed with grammar (namely, an English teacher).
My biology teacher has some really outlandish theories. She believes humans are enslaving bacteria, that if everyone became vegetarians then we could stop world hunger (This one takes the cake), and that rocks are alive (we just have life spans that are so short, we can't see them move).
My band teacher is so obsessed with tonguing (when you stick your tongue in the way of the air to make a note really short) that he goes around saying "t-t-t-t-t-two, t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-two" all day. He also yells at me and my friend whenever he catches us playing matrix with our flutes. He doesn't seem to get that if he stopped watching us, he wouldn't catch us, and everyone would be happy. He says we'll break our flutes. Hello! How can you break a flute if you don't touch the other person with it??? That's the whole point of matrix!!
Last, but not least, is my Spanish teacher. She says "m-kay?" at least once in every other sentence. We counted how many times she said it during one class period and I think we stopped at around 287. It is her first time teaching, and to her credit, she catches most of the stuff that goes on behind her back. She's a lot better at catching the guys now, then she was at the beginning of the year.
I wonder if there is such a thing as a normal teacher?
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
Are you trying to tell me that rocks AIN'T alive????
MA!!!! Tom is showing his tail!!
Hee hee heee!
Ma ain't here! She's at the NUDIST CAMP on vacation!
Didn't Ma say something about going swimming at camp?
After a few days on a rag bed my back is crippled all over again; I'm stiff and moving is agonizing. And whatever I slept on longest is numb and tingling.
Some friends got tired of theirs after 30 years and spent $1500 on some fancy mattress set. They decided to return it too late and sold it for a loss to go back to the waterbed.

Dr. Samuel Billison, an educator and administrator for over 40 years, might seem an unlikely inspiration for a G.I. Joe doll. But one of the most recent plastic action figures is not only modeled after him, it contains his voice. Billison, who recorded the lines for "Navajo Code Talker G.I. Joe," was one of the original 29 Navajos recruited to construct what is perhaps the only unbroken military code in history.
