Favorite things you’ve ever bought from an ALDI supermarket 1. A new pillow (I’m sleeping better than I have in years) 2. Jelly-filled Christmas treats (they stopped carrying them about 3 years ago, though) ---

This particular thread has become very slow to load for me over the past several days. Anyone else experiencing this? I’m not having the same issue with other SDMB threads. ---

Never mind, I just saw the ATMB thread about board slowness and timeouts. So it’s not only this thread, though this thread does tend to induce the timeout for me more than most other threads. ---

I can’t believe in this day and age that a thread of 70 some thousand posts of extremely limited text only messages would be any issue at all. Why would it? I mean, maybe it would be an issue for the Apollo 11 guidance computer, but… ---
