I don't think I've been to MickeyD's in years... I did however recently get 
this monster order of KFC Chicken Lol...with all the works... we were coming 
back from Binghamton to home in Ithaca  - which is about an hour trip...we both 
had drs' app't with our family doc, for  'the yearly rip off med. exam' ...and 
I was starving - we hadn't eaten all day and by the time the appt's were done, 
it was after 4:30pm.

Talk about slow service though.. our appt's were for 2:45 and 3:00 pm (just 
enough time for the doc to see us and exclaim, "you are healthy <vbg>"). When 
he took so long to see us, we had just said to each other, "If he's not in here 
in like 5 minutes, we'll just leave...".

Lucky for him he -just- made in the examing room with moments to spare. 
Ridiculous over booking...

Another one we don't normally go to.. I guess I'm always afraid of where these 
companies get their beef.. notice I don't care about the chicken (or that day 
at least I didn't haha).

Oof.. can't change the colors, or just too lazy? :) I have the bbs set to black 
background with gray text in messages... works for me :)

Take care,
Janis
