Default Yesterday was CRAZY!

The boards were so S L O W yesterday! I wasn't even on much. My computer is low on RAM anyway so it was really bad for me, lol. I was thisclose to winning the last to post for the east coast. Missed it by seconds! Grrrrrrr! I really wanted that $10 GC! I'll try to play Robin's trivia game today, but DH is complaining already that i'm on the computer. guess i should do some housework first so that i earn computer time. my DH is an ass.

It was slow for me too. I made plans to go outlet shopping 3 hours away from home, and I felt bad that I was going to miss the festivities. When I saw how slow things were running yesterday morning though, I wasn't too bummed about missing the things that happened later in the day. I came back late last night and got in a little bit of shopping, so it's all good.

It was slow, but I hope all the traffic means big $$ for all the designers here @ SSD!
I hope they had a HUGE profit day...
NSD was a BLAST!
Glad things are running quicker today, I am on my way to the gallery to try and get caught up with all the praising I couldn't do yesterday!

Yep, it was slow all around - but it was SO busy in here, too! I found that some times it would be a normal speed and then a flood of customers must have hit the store because it would slow back down...but the speed was up and down all day.

I just spent most of my day in the chatroom (it was running at a normal speed) and scrapping...if I wasn't in the chatroom I was talking to people on Hello, lol!

On top of the forum being slow, my internet was terrible yesterday. So terrible I couldn't e-mail the bingo card in time, even though I tried for an hour. The e-mail just wouldn't go! Then I couldn't make it for the Recipe Chat. It was ending when I read about it. But I can't complain, it was a fun day!

It was way slow, and I have 3gb of RAM! I couldn't hang with it, only got to do one challenge once (photo) and that's it. Grrrr! How dare you guys keep me from joining the fun!

I'm in desperate need of RAM so the forums were near impossible for me to navigate yesterday. That's okay, I always suck at keeping up with games and activities at these things anyway!... probably something to do with constantly getting distracted by shiny objects and more shopping. Hopefully all the slowness does mean the shop racked up record sales!

OMGosh the slowness was making me crazy yesterday morning. LOL I was so anxious to get in and look at all the new goodies and things just weren't moving fast enough for me. LOL I didn't get to participate in any of the fun but I hope everyone had a great day. It sounds like everyone did.

Don't you just hate it when you want to be somewhere the most that the traffic is at a near standstill ? I was lucky, though the forum was slow, I was able to participate in a couple of chats and did all the downloading late into the wee hours.

Chat worked fine for me, at least. Shopping was slow-ish, but I managed. It was just the forums that were really bad for me.
