What are the chances you were conceived on a water bed?

@beermeplease OMG, is that a Pacer ? 😃

@bijouxbroussard @bijouxbroussard yep 🤣

@beermeplease I thought it was, but didn’t want to look stoopid.

@bijouxbroussard I grew up and lived in rural places where trends were almost over before they got to us, so I have trouble dating trends. I don’t remember seeing a waterbed before the late 70s.

@Mamapolo2016 A high school friend received one as a gift from her mother in 1974. I would occasionally spend the night with this friend, so I got to try it out. She was thrilled with it, so I said nothing, but frankly I preferred the firmness and support of my own Posturepedic at home. 😊

@bijouxbroussard I usually heard about them when they a) sprang a leak and created a glorious mess or b) weighed more full than some houses were built to hold and crashed through the floor to the level below. And created a glorious mess.

@Ducky That might explain your SW name. 🤭

@dancingtongue

Hear you... I'm not sure they came with tags when I was born. :(

@craig7

Someone on SW is older than me?? I don't believe they were, sir.

@rinkydinkydoink I was born in 1948,but 9 months earlier takes us back to the middle of '47.

@craig7

I was conceived in - and was also born in - 1948, sir. 😁

@bijouxbroussard

You know we're all picturing you on a water bed, right?

@Poppies

I'm a boomer myself!

@FreddieUK

I was born when The State of Israel was half a year old.
