HOW MANY FREEPERS OWN/ONCE OWNED A WATERBED?
HOW MANY FREEPERS OWN/ONCE OWNED A WATERBED?
Always remember to keep the bed covered. If you don't, the cats will chase the bubble and you'll be up at 2AM with the repair kit.
One night when Mrs. Palm was very pregmant with #1, she rolled into her side of the bed and almost through me out of my side.
I dubbed it a tsumommy.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

I worked as a salesman at a North Hollywood water bed store and then as manager in the mid-to-late 80s. I made a lot of money doing that. It's actually still a mainstream segment of the furniture market. For the most part, it's also still the best sleep surface for your health. Though I don't sleep on one now.
I do.
>>OK, time for everyone to date themselves
Spoken like a true wallflower, I have a date with me sir and I resent the implication! /Humor
PAAF (present and accounted for)...very nice until you've "ridden one" in an earthquake (Northridge, 1994, living in Los Angeles), or until it breaks and overwhelms the ridiculously small liner (foul play was suspected)!
Still do. Very comfortable, and it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
I just bought a waterbed filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen, Honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw.
You do remember the Capt'n don't yer?
Why I can still recall the radio announcement:
High-Be-Gar!!!! Maties, this here's yer Capt'n speaking.
From Capt'ns Waterbed Sales
Down here at North 44 and Convoy Streets in San Diego.
Har, Har, Har!
This be yer Capt'ns word for t'day!
If'n ya find that yer yardarm is too short,
Well then use yer other arm! Har! Har! Har!
never. way before my time : )
I am in the rope bed generation. Gotta tie them tight for a good night's sleep (seriously).
I got a waterbed handed down from a 'hip' cousin when I was still in highschool . The old,one bag filled with water kind. I got it near Christmas and decided to use it right away. So I took down my bed, put the waterbed frame up, ran a hose through the window and started filling. Icy cold water. About halfway done-at night- I noticed the leak.
To make a long story short, it was late, I was exhausted with no bed, and I had to drain the bed-bag somehow. Since our house was and old-fashioned raised shotgun, that meant out the front door.
The thought of the bed bursting and flooding the living room, Christmas tree and presents was horrifying.
I'll never forget the look on the face of the old black man who happened to be walking by when a Niagra Falls of cold water poured out my front door and onto the sidewalk!After midnite, and I had a wet floor and still had to reassemble my regular bed!
Despite that- I think waterbeds are the ultimate in comfort ,wouldn't mind having a modern one someday.
This floating bed is fantastic! Might be a problem for stashing stuff under, or the dog sleeping under there tho.

Actually, would still prefer a waterbed . . . but a much deeper one.
Wife and I were . . . uhhhh . . . not impressed with literally uhhhh bottoming out during certain exercises.
I still have the one I bought back in '87.
Never. I look at a waterbed and get seasick.
