Hello Kitten

Hi, Gopher.  My computer is slower than a slug on a salt pile today.

[Gopher]

Slugs on rhubarb leaves are even slower.

[kitten]

Then that's the comparison I should use in future.

Shall I compare thee to a ............. Please complete query!

 faded, wilted rose on a hot summer's day?

[Gopher]

Yes, but it's not summer!

  Incidentally, re. Spohia Loren and your query. My reply should, of course, have been "Not since that night in Naples".    

[kitten]

The first or second?

[Gopher]

That should have been written in CAPITALS - to imply its memorability and denote that none other could be compared to it.

[P.C.]

I think the slowness is specifically on DS.  I'm having no trouble on any other sites today, but DS requires walking away, vacuuming, doing the dishes, etc, while it's loading.  

[Gopher]

DS flying along here - no problems at all.

Gopher:  I should have known she was a one-night stand!

  P.C.:  I went out to the kitchen and renewed the cat's food supply , as well as pouring another cup of coffee, and the page still hadn't come up until a few seconds after I sat back down.

      Something I meant to ask you earlier. Are you now comfortably seated  again after your accident?.  

[kitten]

Seated, yes, but comfortably, no.  There are too many purple places touching the chair.

[Gopher]

You really WILL have to get used to wearing your burka.

Was that a "veiled" remark?
