DEAR. GOD. I sooooo agree with you! The one we have in the Barnes & Noble here in Philly is the same way...SOOOOOOOOO SLOW! I feel like screaming, "DRINK SOME COFFEE!!"<br /><br /><b> I have to be careful not to spill my precious liquid as I hold it and the steering wheel while giving someone the finger and cutting off a landscaping truck</b>.<br /><br />Bwhahahahahahahahaha!<br /><br />You sound just like me when I use to drive. My middle finger was forever being flung!<br /><br /><b>we do have a Dunkin' DoNuts every 10 feet</b>.<br /><br />Same here! We have them EVERYWHERE. I like their donuts and stuff, but I prefer Starbucks coffee. However, Dunkin' DoNuts is cheaper.<br /><br /><b>DoNuts</b>...love it!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and sharing your wonderful humor, dear lady!<br /><br />You always brighten my day!<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying your holiday!!!<br /><br />Love to you and Hope!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.com
