I had a very slow DIS yesterday.

Do they need to invest in better servers?

I had a very slow DIS yesterday.

Do they need to invest in better servers?



.

It's happening all the time lately. I don't know what they are doing but I would think they could at least explain it. Mine has been better as of late but every now and then it just freezes and takes forever to load a page or thread.

i would complain about the server issues but with it being free, i don't think my complaints would go very far.........







with the server freezing up, i lose a lot of my posts on threads.
too much for me to retype.

I've participated on other boards where they will post a message at the top about the annual expenses of running the forum. They will also provide info about how to donate to cover costs, and a tally of donations made so far that year. With all the participation this board gets and the incredibly helpful info people get, I think many of us would be willing to donate a little to keep the DIS running up to speed.

i have to think about that...............

My best friend just left....she turned up earlier and handed me a purply/Aubergine coloured (my favourite colours) George Forman Grill.

I asked what it was for and she said it was a very early 20th wedding Anniversary present That`s not till Sept 5th!!!!

She does make me laugh.

Said she saw it.....thought of me....and got it

Hope I don`t need to wait till Sept to use it


Mr MH......Got 10 people coming over on Saturday night........I`m going to "borrow" your brilliant Sundae idea for this weekend for one of the choices........only slightly different...........going to have shredded chicken in bbq sauce......spicy fruity couscous.......and creamy coleslaw on top. Hope you don`t mind me stealing your ideas

House cocktail will be........a mix of Jack....Amaretto....Pineapple Juice.....Cranberry Juice... lots of squeezed lime....served with loads of ice in big jugs

Just need to think about dessert now.

*giggle*

Sounds fabulous!!!! Mine went over really well at the party on Sunday. They were really quite filling though. Or maybe that was the beer??

On another note....the DIS is acting up again on my end.

i'm home and no lights on in this thread....

i thought it was like Motel 6 here.........


Mr Mad, i see you posted around 1:30 this afternoon.
and, it seems like the dis is still slow and impossible to post now.





i'll be back later.
i'm gonna go play on the CB.

 

[Tinker-tude]

I think I need to move closer to all of you party people. The food sounds divine!


I just bought a whole bunch of children's books that are very to find. Older out of print books that aren't available on the normal classic literature e-reader lists. I couldn't believe what a great deal they were!

Until I started downloading them after I paid....

Since I didn't buy them through iStore, I had to click on every single book link to download the list, plus the files with the indexes. 241 clicks.

But wait, there's more!

It wouldn't let me select more than one book at a time to move them into a folder. That's right, 241 drag and drops. My hand is sore now.


.

 

[macraven]

i'm late for the party again.


or should i say, the dis is slow at midnight.............




taminator, you have patience beyond belief to do 241 clicks...........



i would say for you to move to the midwest, or northern part of the midwest but you would end up hating me.

snow
ice
cold
heavy winds
etc.

someday i will live where it is light outside at 4:40 in the afternoon during winter.

Good Afternoon Homies

 

[ky07]

I thought you quit smoking?

I almost did but wound up going right back to smoking and really wish I did stop for good

 

[macraven]

taking a 5 minute break from the parental units.

really decent weather today but the cold will start coming back here tonight.


i am not a snow bunny.....




catch you homies later tonight.

 

[macraven]

now that the dis is running smoothly, no one home here.......

 

[schumigirl]

now that the dis is running smoothly, no one home here.......

Running quickly for me at the moment.........but it`s 9.40am here so most of you will be asleep.

I`m planning on cleaning my oven........soon.......well soon as I get off this laptop

Weather slightly better today....... We had icy rain falling on frozen roads yesterday so had sheet and black ice everywhere..........nasty!!! So many accidents on the roads. Why do some people think they can drive like a racing driver in that???

Anyways.....it`s nearly the weekend......

DS is off college today and next week for half term....so no early rises for over a week....yay!!!

Have a good weekend

Just popping in to share some exciting news...

We're moving to Ocoee, Florida! This has been in the works for several months now and we put our house in Nashville on the market just before Thanksgiving. It has sold and we'll be heading to the Sunshine State in just a couple of weeks! We're so excited and had to share this news with our Disboard homies. Can't wait to be able to head over to one of the parks whenever we want. We're going to LIVE in our vacation spot. So fun!!! Guess we'll have to find a new place to vacation! Ha!

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. Holla back at ya later!

Mikkimús, have been thinking of you the past few days and was wondering how you were doing.
so good to see you here!

that is a tough situation for school.....skip and fail or sick and be in class.
i hope you can finish up the school year with all A's...
over here, that is the best grade.

your turn will come for another trip.
i leave in september and would be glad to send you a postcard from the motherland and the darkside. i'll get your mailing info closer to my trip to do that.

thank you, that would be amazing.

Im very secretly trying to get the thought into my boyfriends head that going to Florida is a great idea, was making him watch videos of HHN on youtube yesterday and telling him how fun US & IOA are... im so sneaky

Good afternoon everyone

Im very secretly trying to get the thought into my boyfriends head that going to Florida is a great idea, was making him watch videos of HHN on youtube yesterday and telling him how fun US & IOA are... im so sneaky

I do the same thing with my kids...it usually works like a charm and they think the trip was their idea all along.

House cocktail will be........a mix of Jack....Amaretto....Pineapple Juice.....Cranberry Juice... lots of squeezed lime....served with loads of ice in big jugs

Carole, can you just mail one of those to me?...I could use it today and it would help my recovery from cataract surgery tremendously.

Just popping in to share some exciting news...

We're moving to Ocoee, Florida!
-Melissa

Congrats on your move, I've always wanted to move to Florida but my house is paid for and there is my job to consider...if only I didn't have to work

It's supposed to fall into the 20's here tomorrow after being in the 60' and 70's for the last few weeks...what crazy weather in GA.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

 

[marciemi]

Nope, no sympathy. Currently 9 here with a wind chill of -5! And I just came in from the hot tub. Although I needed that after shoveling snow twice today. I checked the forecast at MIDNIGHT last night and they said "snow flurries" for today. Well, I shoveled at least 4 inches of very heavy flurries!

Just wanted to share today's exciting news. Eric found out today that he got a scholarship from the Engineering Department at the University of Michigan - $20,000 a year for 4 years (or $80,000 total!). He'd pretty much written Michigan off due to cost (we're out of state) but think he's going to be taking a closer look. More exciting because we've been told they give very, very few scholarships.

In ancient history news, I don't think I ever told you guys here that he got his acceptance to MIT back in December too! Know I'd posted after he got Caltech then just got too busy with Christmas and travel and all. So he goes out to Purdue in early March, then we both go visit Caltech (yay, Disneyland!) and MIT in April and maybe try to squeeze in a Michigan visit somewhere too. Going to be a hectic few months. But exciting!

 

[macraven]

congrats marcie on all those acceptance colleges.

i think it is way more than 20 K at michigan.
i would go with the place that has sunshine most of the year.......



i had to retype this as when i proofed it, it didn't make sense.
