I'm depressed. I've wanted a pinball machine for my whole life. The wife wants a pinball machine too. We decided that if we can find one that we want for under $1,000 we're going to give it to ourselves as our 1 year wedding anniversary gift.
So today (after a ton of searching) I found a listing for a Jurassic Park at a family fun center for $800. We were super excited!! They were going to hold it for us for a few hours while we waited for my brother to drive the hour and half down with his truck. He drove all the way here and so I called back to tell them that we were leaving and we'd be there in an hour, and the lady says oh... then puts me on with another woman who tells me they just sold it!!! Right out from under me. Why tell me they'd hold it if they had no intention of doing so?
I'm supposed to be playing Jurassic Park right now. I was supposed to have fulfilled a dream today! Frustrating. So, if anyone knows the person who bought a Jurassic Park from a family fun center in Crete IL, tell them I hope they enjoy my machine. Grrrr...
Oh who am I kidding? I should have just bought it on the extra gas and not had them hold it, but driven down there separate from my brother to ensure that I was the first one there. I should know you can trust people's word these days. Anybody have a decent Jurassic Park they want to sell me for $800? I have cash!
