Okay… I’ll be honest… in my mind I had about a gazillion word FOAD post today.  Instead… it’s going to be a quickie.

My first FOAD goes out to Dunkin’ Donuts of course.  Yesterday was ”Free Ice Coffee Day”.  They were giving out free SMALL Ice Coffees to the general public… obviously trying to stalve off that drop in sales they undoubtedly experience during the summer.  So when I went to my morning Dunkin’ Donuts, guess what?  They were out of ice coffee already.  Yup.  Out.  Of.  Ice.  Coffee.  They apparently didn’t realize they would be giving away so many as to not be able to provide regularly scheduled customers their beverage of choice.  So here’s where it gets a little tricky.  My enroute to work Dunkin’ Donuts… well they were also out of Ice Coffee… BUT one of the little Spanish Chiquitas behind the counter had already made mine, and had it in the back.  See… now THAT is what should have happened at the other one.  So FOAD Metropolitan Avenue Dunkin’ Donuts.Oh, and for those of you wondering… yeah… since I stopped drinking soda my Ice Coffee consumption as slowly increased to about 3 a day.

My next FOAD goes out to those who continue to be under the impression that 9-1-1 is a cheap cab service.  It’s for emergencies.  Really.

My next FOAD is directed at NetFlix.  I am seriously considering canceling our relationship.  When I first started, it was roughly a 3 day turn around for movies.  I mailed my movies back this past Monday… and STILL have not received an e-mail meaning they have arrived and my next 3 are being sent out.  This will be a major problem if I spend another weekend without ‘Net.  So FOAD NetFlix… send me my movies already.

The final FOAD is for all the people out there who do not have enough brain cells to realize that the red light means stop and the green light means go.  Really.  Pull your head out of your ass or take the damn bus!  FOAD color challenged.

Peace and Love this week goes out to… tentatively… my cable company Time Warner.  Here’s the thing… I lost ‘net.  They were supposed to fix it on Monday… but no such luck because for whatever reason they canceled ALL the appointments that day.  I never got a clear explanation as to why… but I believe it is because there was some damaged cable from the ice storm and that is where they sent all the technicians.  Of course… that happened on Long Island.  Then there was a problem re-scheduling, because someone has to be home.  The earliest I could re-schedule when I knew someone would be home was Monday.  But I bitched.  I moaned.  I raised hell.  I.  Need.  ‘Net.

So guess who called this morning while I was in the shower scrub-a-dub-dubbing?  Yep… Time Warner.  They wanted to know if I would be home this afternoon because they had a cancellation of another appointment.  Now, I won’t be… but my brother is.  So… hopefully tonight… I will have ‘Net… and that means I can surf, and frolic online, and watch YouTube videos and EVERYTHING.  So that’s why this is some tentative stuff… because if I don’t get my ‘Net back… it’ll be full fledged FOAD Peace and Love in effect… but if I get back my ‘Net… well… I’ll be too stoked to FOAD anyone.  So tentatively… Peace and Love Time Warner… peace and love…
