it wasn't until recently that i had ever pondered what the world thought of water beds. growing up my parents always had one. and i was jealous of my cousin when he got one. i always thought they were really cool and special. until i heard a comedian make fun of them not too long ago. it stuck w/ me and would randomly run through my mind. it left me feeling unsure of my opinion. was i wrong? were water beds a hokey, cheesy fad from the past? worse still, were they sleezy and cheap? my parents represent everything that is proper and right. why would they own something that was thought so little of by someone that obviously was no better than them?
fortunately they got rid of it before i overheard this comedian. they now have a very nice, albeit monstrously tall, bed. i swear my mom has to use a step stool to climb into it. but regardless it looks really good with the rest of their updated bedroom furniture.
tonight while looking thru the 'FREE' section on craigslist i came across a free water bed frame. i've decided waterbeds are weird. the whole concept. filling your sleeping surface w/ water? sleeping on an unsteady water filled rubber bladder. glad i never had one. i can't imagine the mess i would have ended up with. i'm not the most careful person and the whole thing just seems like you're setting yourself up for failure.

i also don't recommend the memory foam beds. i've heard through the wall during "intimate times" people struggle with this in the past.
