After all these months of sleeping in odd places about the house when I come home from college, I finally have a real bed to sleep in!

It all started back when I went off to college. At the time, I had my own room, while my brothers shared a room. My youngest brother moved into my room, and when I came home I'd use the foldout couch. Then when that got in danger of being worn out, I moved to a futon matress in the basement. That eventually got too hard when I moved back in for the summer, so I got an airmatress, but that got holes in it by the time school started again. These past few months, I've slept on one of the two sofas we have instead, but now, finally I have a bed to call my own!

(Actually it's my parents' old bed. They've got an actual new one and gave me their old one to use.)

My cat pooped on my bed. Now I sleep on the kitchen couch. And I had just gotten that awesome matress about two weeks before!

Grr.....

So...you're sleeping in your parents' bed...

...How old are you? And how old is the bed?

I thought the same thing. I'd feel ...wrong sleeping in my parents bed.
You could've been conceived on that thing.

I'm twenty years old. The bed's sixteen years old. They bought it the month before I turned five.

Was it diarrhoea? Unless it was, you could scoop it up, do some heavy laundry and sleep ****-free.

Out of curiosity, you got to UW LaCrosse, or are you an escaped Wisconsinite?

Yes, I know it's madness. :P

The problem was it was sitting there for an entire day that I was a school (7 hours plus 3 hours of bus equals nasty). I still haven't gotten the smell out, and i don't really trust it anymore. Yes, I'm sure it's probably not going to give me diseases, but I'm a hypocondriac and a clean freak, so I'm paranoid.

Yeah, eww. I'd be soaking that in detergents, disinfectants and Febreze myself.

I'm from Minnesota originally. I go to Viterbo University, which is close to UWL.

Congrats! I understand the joy of getting a bed. Broke up with someone and had to move out, leaving me sleeping on my couch for over a year. However, it is a comfy couch.

How do you feel about hotel beds? Strangers shag away (and worse) in those. At least with your parents' bed you kind of know what you're gettin' into. Maybe. :P

Congrats on the bed.

I can't sleep on anything but either a floor, or -my- bed. (My bed isn't even that firm)

Beds rock.

Yeah, the whole "how many other people have slept in this bed, and what did they do?" thing always bothers me when I sleep in a hotel.

It's never bothered me. Any hotel worth staying in changes the sheets every time someone uses the room. If I have to sleep in a hotel bed where they don't even bother to launder for each new customer they don't deserve my money.

That was targeted at the person who stated they found the idea of sleeping in their parents' bed to be creepy. Changing sheets solves the problem there, too, IMO. ;)

Then I offer my apologies. ;)
