I figured it was probably Joan, but couldn't be sure!

You mean MB DOES work and have an outside life besides this forum?!!  Given all the work he puts into this, I can't imagine how he can do anthing else!!

What am I missing, or has it already been changed?  I don't remember anything from last night (early this morning), either.  What I get now is a moment of total black followed by the logo appearning, and shortly afterwards, the rest of the page.

However, I started noticing last night (early this morning) and again now, that with every page that comes up, down at the bottom of the screen is a little yellow symbol and the words "Error on Page" which shortly afterwards changes to the same (I think) logo and "Welcome to the Forum!" and the page appears.  Last night I did have to wait a bit for error to change to welcome, and the first couple of times I did think there was a problem, but then the page appeared.

Meanwhile, as to your "time" comments - I generally have about 2 hours worth of things to look up on the Internet every day.  Most days I only sign on late at night and try to get caught up on everything.  Catching up on all the new items here is one of the main items to be done.  I'd rather have 100 new posts in 10 topics than 50 new posts in 20 topics, as, once in a topic it's easy to slide down and quickly read everything.  The fewer pages to load, the better.  

It's not a matter of being impatient for a few seconds here and there.  Just that I'm trying to get everything done along with everything else I have to do, and anytime there's a slow down, for whatever reason, just sitting and waiting for each page is extremely aggravating.  

And, if it comes on a night when I'm particularly late, or have a lot of other "important" things to do which I'm putting off until finishing this, then it's especially bad.

You're not imagining things, Tanis!  I saw it, too.  My interpretation was that it automatically checks the urine, and if anything is abnormal it automatically e-mails the DOCTOR!!

Maybe he was taking a break after dealing with Mme. Findlay!

Amy was rather "normal" today.  She clearly had some connection with what was happening to Chris, with all of her fears of the moon and seeing the pentagram on Joe's face, but otherwise she was a normal child and even those things were normal for her.  Lately, she's been sufficiently under the control of or involved with Quentin that I don't think she would have reacted (at least not the same way) to all of these other things.  It was fun to see her as she should be instead of under his influence.

How beautiful!!  Thank you!

Sarah, I hope all goes well with the surgery, and best wishes to all of you.  I hope you'll have good news when you return.
