instruction booklets

have you ever got something from the store that you have to put together? does it have 8 million parts and instructions so complicated that you just look at the picture on the box and try to figure it out on your own? yes...i have had so many of those products it makes me wonder why i have to put this stuff together anyway. the one i see at the store is together already, so why dont these things come together? or why cant i have the one in the store that IS together already? i just spent 2 days trying to help my nieces put up a trampoline...yikes...not fun at all....i think its physically impossible to get all those springs on...how about those yard swings and swing sets for kids? those are a lot of fun too....not....also not fun are entertainment centers, desk chairs, computer stands and pet play equipment.... i seriously do not like putting these things together......if you do have one of these things to put together, remember to make sure all of the parts are there before you start and never tighten the screws until you are sure you need to.....never let your pets or children try to help you.....never leave the parts unattended around pets and children.....read the entire instruction booklet before you start....it will save you time.....dont count on extra parts...sometimes they only pack what is needed....and most important, if you are putting together something that has a million tiny screws and things...please put a paper or something under them so they dont get lost in the carpet or the grass or wherever you may be working...you will never find them...they vanish if left unattended too long....anyway, thats my advice for putting things together at home if you have to....and when you are getting frustrated and want to throw the whole thing away, just remember...peace.
