A weekend of follies

On Friday, Brian and I decided to put together Melinda’s Bowflex. Don’t you just hate it when you are putting something together and you find out that the company didn’t give you all the required pieces. That happened to me this weekend with the Bowflex. The great Bowflex company shorted us on the washers. This caused us to debate what to do for a few minutes. Our final decision was to use the washers that we had in place of the ones we were missing and see what happened. We were prepared to visit Home Depot if need be, but we ended up not needing to. One thing that caused a lot of thinking is that the directions said we should have 6 adjustable pulleys. We only had 4. This would normally be a bigger deal than the washers, but after looking at all the pictures for 30 minutes, I couldn’t find where the other 2 pulleys went, so I moved on. After completing the last step, it looked like a Bowflex, so I called it a day. No one has used it yet, so I am not sure of the integrity of my construction.
Why does Red Lobster remove every item that I like from their lunch menu. This is really getting kind of annoying. Yesterday, all I wanted was some Mahi Mahi and they removed it from their menu!! Argh. They did the same thing with the Teriyaki Chicken. Please submit to me a list of what you like off of the menu, and I will make sure not to order it. I do like the Admiral’s Feast, but that is off of the main menu and my financial advisor said that I couldn’t afford it. So, what did I eat you ask. I decided to go with the all you can eat soup and salad. My financial advisor did say that I could stop on the way home and get a cheeseburger from Burger King, but I gave that up to go to Best Buy with Mitchel, Christian, Meagan and her friend Melissa. In case you’re wondering, I bought absolutely nothing at Best Buy. Some times it is good to just look at all the electronic goodness.
