Karen, I had that problem a few weeks ago. But it is ok now. This is what I just uploaded after reading your post:

Thanks Shboom. Perhaps it is the download speed. I recently switched from dialup to Hughesnet and when I first came on-line, the loading speed seemed quite fast. Recently however Hughesnet has seemed slower than usual. Perhaps that's it. I'll definitely talk w/ Hughesnet to see if there's a problem. The neighbor has Hughesnet & commented tonight about the slower download speed he had been noticing. Thank you again - the investigation continues. :-)

I'd like it if we celebrated Thanksgiving in October like our Canadian neighbors. After all, we're on the same continent LOL. Then it wouldn't seem like such a gosh darn rush of the season to me. The below sure makes sense as to why Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving earlier, at least to me: "Thanksgiving in the United States was observed on various different dates throughout history. By the mid 20th century, the final Thursday in November had become the customary day of Thanksgiving in most U.S. states. It was not until December 26, 1941 however that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, after pushing two years earlier to move the date earlier to give the country an economic boost, signed a bill into law, with congress, making Thanksgiving a national holiday and settling it to the fourth (but not final) Thursday in November.[8] Thanksgiving in Canada did not have a fixed date until the late 19th century, at which time it was typically held on November 6. After the end of World War I, Thanksgiving Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies were usually held during the same week. To avoid the two holidays from clashing with one another, in 1957 the Canadian Parliament proclaimed Thanksgiving to be observed on its present date."

I just had problems with not being able to post new threads, finally was able to find out how to send a message to Houzz. They said to refresh my browser, cache [whatever that is] and cookies. I asked the question on Google - it sounded easy, but couldn't find what they were talking about, then they said push Control/Shift/Delete. At first it did nothing then I just kept tapping it - and voila! A box came on, asked if I wanted to delete my browsing history - I clicked yes, and now I can post! Hope this helps, I am hopeless with a computer. Still trying to figure out how to post photos from my IPhone....... Judith
