Steward, GA when I got back from Vietnam (put those returning vets in the boonies away from civilians because everyone knows they all be psycho).I was assigned to brand new set of quarters on Post so one of the first things my wife and I did was to take a drive up to Savannah to get a waterbed. Got the bed but we had to put the bed frame on order, so when we got back to Post we set the bed directly on that Oak parquet floor.Well, that waterbed mattress, without the frame, just kept stretching-out more and more across that nice wood floor until about 1:30 in the morning when we were both sound asleep . . . the seam split down the side dumping 200 gallons of water out. Spent the rest of the night sweeping and mopping all that water up and trying to dry that new floor.  Didn't do no good because those individual Oak parquet floor tiles still ended warping up to look like a layer of cracked Pringle potato chips.Waterbeds may have been the thing back then . . . but no longer for me.</blockquote>
