Sorry. Two years ago they started digging up my street for FIOS, and since that point my service has been terrible. There have been some phone conversations where I could not even hear the other party for all the noise on the line. They did nothing to improve it, although I did hear those empty words, "I do apologize" more often than I care to repeat.

Further, their billing is a mess and they no longer care about the customer. I asked several times to be placed on the list for "no marketing". They continued to say OK, you're on the list and I continued to get calls and letters asking me to switch to their precious FIOS. I finally reached a point where I just couldn't deal with them any further.

I'm sure one little customer like me won't have any impact on the stock price.

How many of our QOTD family have a GPS unit in your car ? Not me. My daughter has one and it recently tried to get us to go down a dead end road. Also went for a trip with friends and tried to use one. It kept telling us to turn around. I thought it was annoying.

If you “don’t” and you get lost what do you do first ? I don't mind being lost. It's an adventure & I've seen some beautiful places I would have never seen if I hadn't been lost. A couple of years ago we found a beautiful cove in Acadia only because we were lost. I spent some time looking for it again this year but never did.

Can you re-fold a road map ? Hahaha. No.

Bonus Question:

When you were a kid did you have

A teen line for yourself ? No

An extension phone from the main line in your room ? No

Sigh everyone heard my conversations ? This one! We had a party line, so neighbors could hear too.

Extra Credit Question:
Lets talk about crayons !!

How many crayons did you have in the box ? 64 with a sharpener in the back

When coloring in a coloring book did you

Stay in the lines ? My mother always told me to stay in the lines and use the "right" colors. Not fun.

Just for Fun:

Is any one watching the Baseball playoffs ? Not me.
If so, which team are you rooting for ?

Today in History:

1986 - "Phantom of the Opera" premeires in London - Love this. First time I saw it was in Boston. I cry just listening to the music.
