Waterbeds!My parents & grandparents hated waterbeds. Never had anything good to say about them, so naturally being my curious & sometimes rebellious self, I wanted one when I got my 1st apartment. However, since my bedroom was on the 3rd floor & I had a toddler son, common sense kicked in & the waterbed idea was on hold.
Several years later, one of my ex's had one and I hated it! We could never find our "groove" properly in that damn bed.
I'm sure they've made technological improvements since my ex inherited his bed from his mother 2 decades ago, but I think I'll stick with what I have.
Now let me ask you:
- Who had one? Why did you get rid of it?
- Who still has one? Why do you keep it?
- Who wants one? What's the appeal?
Tell me about it.
I have never had one, and I have laid on a few. It was cool to feel the water ripple underneath, but nothing I wanted to sleep on or ever have. However, I have had sex on a water bed and it was pretty cool! Apparently, you just didn't know what you were doing. lol
ReplyDeleteyall go to bed! aint you and shanna got work in da mawnin?
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoochified hooch ! She did NOT say that shes never owed one but she's laid on a few.

I used to have one in high school. My best friend gave me hers when she was moving into an apartment. My parents wouldn't let it be in my room, so they let me make a room in our finished basement, with a walk out door. Yeah, that was probably not their best choice ever. LOL
I never had one but I always wanted one. I changed that tune because...well, I'd probably get sea sick. Plus, ain't no tellin' what it might take to bust a hole in that shit. Might drop a cigarette or something on it and burn a hole in in it.
ReplyDeleteI had one when my aunt moved and gave me hers. My sister and I shared a room and because it was a king sized bed, my sister and I had to share. That lil heffa is 8 years younger than me and would pee in the bed. When one person pees in a waterbed, we all pee in a waterbed. I finally started to wake her up in the middle of the night and ask her to go pee for me because I was too tired to get up. It worked.
ReplyDeleteI had it until I came back from college. The heating element kept going out and I didn't like how low it would make my body temperature drop (I'm already anemic and always cold as hell-which reminds me, Mo, where'd you get that tower heater in the computer room?).
Waterbeds make for bad company too when you've been drinking.
Believe it or not, that daggone waterbed is STILL boxed up and in my dad's basement.
I can say without conviction that I'll NEVER own another waterbed!
I had one and loved it Why did you get rid of it? After you move that thang a few times, taking it apart, putting it back together, it is never as sturdy as the 1st time you put it together.
ReplyDeleteWould I get another one? Maybe.. What's the appeal? It was some of THE BEST SLEEP I have ever had in my life....especially in the wintertime when you crank up the heater and warm up that water and climb in naked....I could sleep and sleep and sleep.
And it also made doing the Boolah Boolah a lot of fun too....I'm talkin the Motion of the Ocean shawtay!
If I wanna get seasick, Imma get on a boat.
ReplyDeleteI've never had one, but I've sat on one and I was so scared! I mean...like "I'm gonna fall off the boat" scared! Too much movement for me!
ReplyDeleteI remember when there used to be waterbed stores in the mall! Those are long gone.
