Ikea is a plot by evil Norsemen to make Americans feel stupid. I put one of the girl’s beds together using their 38 easy steps in just under 2 hours. The 38 easy steps are all picture instructions and they don’t really account for the 10 or so steps in each picture. I know this is an international company but I need a little more explanation as to why I shouldn’t just skip those unnecessary looking steps. This is exactly why I am not a mechanic. I would be the one with the running engine and a pile of “extra” parts when I was finished. These people suck you in with their prices and then drive you bat shit with the project. I know that crazy is a short drive for me but it should not take a person of average intelligence that long to build a stinking bed. I’m whining because I’m tired. I have packed way too much into this last week. Liza has just been informed that she is going to have a week from hell. The big wheel keeps on turning, sometimes it just feels like a grinding stone. Last thought on IKEA. I don’t know what the official line is but I’m guessing the name stands for I’ll Kill Every American. Nobody ever accused the Swedes of being subtle. 12:00:00 AM    says you
