12:17 pm - Used Waterbed Needs New Home

Anybody near-ish to Bowie want a waterbed?

When my brother moved out of my mother's house, he left behind his waterbed (Mom says it's queen-size; it looks halfway between double and quieen to me -- do waterbed sizes run smaller than similarly-named conventional mattresses?). It's been drained and mostly disassembled. Mom wants it thrown away, but I keep thinking that it's a shame to waste a perfectly good waterbed that somebody must want. (I'm procrastinating on finding and signing up for a local-to-Bowie Freecycle list, and figure this is a bit far for the Baltimore Freecycle mailing list.)

If I trusted the strength of the floors in my house more, I'd be interested in keeping it for myself. But that's probably not a good idea.
