I've been having this problem for about two weeks, too. It's not just an AL "thing", especially not with Glenda's posts, per se, but on other forums, too. I haven't found a way to correct it, other than to go back to the previous page and try another post. Sometimes that works, but sometimes it doesn't! It can get very frustrating! What's REALLY driving me crazy is that when I try to connect to another page, I sometimes get the message that "Internet Explorer cannot display this page."; then the Internet connection is lost. I'm starting to think that this may be caused by my Internet provider rather than something on my computer--or something that I'm doing to cause it. Any suggestions or solutions out there? (I haven't gone to the computer forum, yet, that's next, I think.)

I've made peach dump cake for family get-togethers. It's always well-received, but it's far too sweet for my and my hubby's taste. It's a can of peaches, the cake mix and melted butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Just use the amount of butter recommended in the recipe. There are definitely dry patches of cake mix. You don't want the top to be covered in melted butter. It all works out.

Thanks ya'll for the wonderful birthday wishes!! I always take my birthday off...one of these days I'm gonna fly and bring cake for the entire plane...maybe on my 60th! Ya'll come join me!
