Why do I have to wait for previus Mrs Tom Cruise to load before I can go to this forum.I do like it here lots of information but do not like to each time to wait before I can actually go to the forum.Takes a long time for it to load and I wonder if anyone knows a good garden forum more friendly logging and less adds.Thanks

Change browser to Mozilla Firefox or use another pop-up blocker.

I'm thinking it must have something to do with your browser too. I use Maxthon browser and I haven't seen any ads or pop ups on this site at all.

annoying pictures that must load before you get to the forum...

Changing browsers or installing some sort of pop-up blocker will fix the situation. I have no problems myself. Negative comments are unlikely to have too much impact - those annoying adds are what pay for this site:-) And I've yet to encounter another that had such a diverse and active selection of forums with such great contributors.

The hawk in Menifee, CA can only be a Cooper's Hawk but it is an oddly-colored one. Something going on with the feathers, such as a heavy molt or missing feathers for some other reason. If you have other photos please post.

Karen , Sharon what a great job! I loved everyone of the pics. Such memories.....not just of get togethers but of the people who have shared so much of themselves ,on this forum, over the years. I miss so many of those folk. Runs in my mind Gina had a slide show too...Gina? Baby pictures were so much fun but whoever has the baby pics, don't post the names! See who can figure it out. Woodie knows which one I am..... something to do with a long forgotten shampoo! LOL Thanks again Karen and Sharon, this was so much fun....and thank you GW. If not for you our paths would likely not have crossed.

Stacyneil- thanks! Now that I've figured this out, more pics won't be a problem. Boxerpups--yes, we will be eating outside as soon as I get around to cleaning all the pollen. Thanks, pharaoh! Yes, the floors will go under the cabinets. And I will follow your advice and stay on top of it. Morton5--the kitchen is probably a 35 year old renovation. The butler's pantry was original, which is about 70 years old. The brick chimney leads to a fireplace in the finished part of teh basement. There was a laundry chute next to the chimney, but the house inspector told us it was a firehazard. Plus, we needed to take it down for the renovation (there will be a coat closet there).

Firefox or no firefox, the ads are the ads are the ads, and they have to download before the threads will appear.
I am getting really good at solitare and can get through all the craig's list sites I like along with a couple Sudokus before the GW threads even show up without some "survey" or ad floating in front of the post finally goes away.

I'm using Firefox and I don't know what ads you are talking about.

I've never seen any pop ups or ads here.

I'm using MS I Explorer and don't have any popups here either. You can configure most browsers to block them.
