Perhaps you're paying for something you aren't getting, Clara.
Do you always become hostile when no one has attacked you in any way? Anyway, thanks for this show of your mental capacity.
(It's possible that the website sponsoring the graphic isn't handling increased traffic well-- another variable to consider when posting graphics.)

Good grief, Clara Lou. We download pics here all the time, as you surely know since you've been on line since 2001.

I have cable, the pic was loaded instantly. Thanks, it's a good one.

Do you always become hostile when no one has attacked you in any way?

If you think I was hostile then you're a bigger drama queen than you appear and you seem to have forgotten your initial post.

Why in the world did you post that pic? It's taking forever to download, and I'm DSL. Phone modem folk aren't going to appreciate that at all.

I use a dial up connection. The photo loaded fine for me. Due to it's size I resized it to one third of its original to expedite loading. That's something I always do when posting large photos because I'm such a hostile SOB.

Perhaps the problem is with your ISP, or your browser setting or the host server. I'm sure that you took all of that into consideration before you started complaining, didn't you Clara? Perhaps you enjoy whining, snivelling, moaning and groaning. Which is it?

Mine took a long time too, and I am on broadband. Your reasoning re website sponsoring graphic sounds right to me.

I didn't appreciate that remark, either. We ARE getting what we pay for. The only reason to comment on slow loading is because we always get a fast download of pics, and this one was unusually slow.
