Aircast

Item: Aircast, a plastic and foam cast used to imobilize the leg.

Price: 123.00

Suck or Not: Sucks ASS!!!

Details: Don't ever tear ligaments in your ankle... Or break your ankle. A month in one of these things will really cramp your style. At least in a real cast you know you can't take it off, but in one of these you can just whip it off to shower and sleep. But every damn Morning you have to strap it on and keep wearing it. I mean at least with a real cast you get some sympathy people seem to think an aircast means you aren't really that hurt and like to poke fun or kick you in the leg.

Meal At Bonnaza

Item: Full access to the reopened Bonnaza in North Edmonton.

Price: 14.75 plus tax and tip.

Suck or Not: NOT!!!!

Details: After seeing that a Bonnaza was open in Edmonton again after about 10 years I had numerous flashbacks to my childhood involving the memories of being so full I could not move and eating meals consisting entirely of soft serve icecream. After building up the hype for about a week Darren, Kevin, and I went there for dinner. It was way beyond what I was expecting. There was a huge variety of food, friendly staff who removed empty plates at warp speed and fresh made crepes for dessert were just a few of the positives. The only real downside was that aside from the three of us everyone there seemed a little on the "plump" side and it was often difficult to squeeze between tables to get to our thrid plate of food.

Note: Warren also was there for lunch and said it was great, Although he did here someone say, "Can't we get a table closer to the food?"
