Thank You!! I will be selling my stock come this Monday in McDonald's. Think about how much the stock will tank because your not making that purchase.

I get my McCafe from a keurig cup from my own coffee maker. Just in case I get up half asleep, I have the water already set up and only have to slip a Kcup in and push the button. I ensure myself a cup of coffee. Since you did not have electricity, you could not do that, so I do empathize with you a little bit. Try living overseas in a country where have electricity on is a novelty, not a necessity. Try living in a country where the city water is only on during certain hours. You learn to appreciate this great country and do not get excited or depressed by losing the internet or cable TV for a couple hours.
Sorry you had that traumatic experience. I am sure that I speak for all when I wish you good will and a fast recovery from your trauma. And like you, I enjoy the coffee at McDonald's much more than Starbucks.

1. The power company should be more reliable.
2. McDonalds should open the inside seating area.
3. Cigar smoking should be banned in all dining areas.

Everything is fine now. The power is back on.
My garage door opener is belt drive with a battery back-up! You may want to purchase a new garage door opener before your back goes out and we never hear the end of that! Put your coffee percolator on your gas stove or are we going to hear you don't have a gas stove! Here's a quarter !

Whining is a synonym for reporting, isn't it?

Oh, the good ole days when the fast service places gave car window service by young ladies on roller skates. No one complained about the quality of the meal or whether or not it was even warm. Whomever came up with drive up windows should be hung by the thumbs.

Yes, been there. 45 years ago in Saudi Arabia. In the shower, power went out, total darkness, no flashlight, no water, and body covered with soap. That was worth whining about.

Significantly different.

The false reporting of ransomware was sensationalism.
You might want to get off that fake news channel. The ransom million 5. Yes they are using pen and paper.
