Made in China

I believe Elvis is dead and Princess Diana was the victim of a tragic set of unfortunate circumstances culminating in her death-- although the jury in my mind is still "out" on the deaths of JFK and Marilyn Monroe! So I wouldn't identify myself with typical conspiracy theorists----but lately,, I've been wondering ---Frank was almost done assembling the cheapie Zellers bought deck swing,, when he noticed a vital bolt was missing!! Zellers would not open a new box to supply the missing piece,, NO-- that would be too simple-- we (Frank) would have to dissassemble the swing and return the whole thing in its proper packaging--- &*%*^(--- He opted to buy a new bolt at the hardware store--
Yesterday while we were at Wal-Mart looking for a trampoline enclosure,, we spotted a combination trampoline-enclosure for less money than the safety net alone-- Just as we reached our decision to buy same,, along came a frazzled, frustrated mother, accompanied by a seriously worried looking clerk,, hoping we weren't waiting to buy that last trampoline combo, because upset mother needed it for the crucial post missing from her previously bought set-- kids were home disappointed,,, mother irate--- the trampoline needed that one last piece to be set up properly and they were not going to take it apart!! We understood-- she left with crucial missing piece from set-----So where am I going with this--- HMMM!! Maybe there is a Chinese conspiracy to drive us crazy!! One family at a time!! Beginning with toxic paint on our baby toys!! (I'm betting Wal-Mart sold the trampoline with the missing post to some unsuspecting consumer and this turns into the neverending story!)
