Heh. I was trying to get from email notifications to a comment about mosquitoes by Anna (@LadyDuck). I clicked on the email notification and got the error message with which many of us are familiar. F5 allowed me to get to her comment, but then a pop-up engulfed the page.
After I uttered a couple of oaths, I was able to get to her comment my "x-ing out" of the pop-up ad. I immediately thought of the cartoon I'll attach. How is MyLot performing for you today? I'm tempted just to get back to my book. I got a few paragraphs written this morning.

When myLot takes a long time to load on my iPad I’ll turn on the “Airplane mode,”with makes it stop and tells me my computer doesn’t have connection, then I’ll turn it back off and refresh the page. That usually makes the page load.

@TheHorse — I don’t know if Android devices have that. It basically shuts the WiFi off.

@FourWalls Some day I will get a smart phone. Oh, sh*t! I have to charge up my dumb phone in case my Comcast goes down.

I just started posting again, after vanishing for about four years. So far, I've had a smooth posting experience.

@TheHorse I find those the most funny and irronic, too. It's almost like they've suddenly become mind readers, lol.

I don't either. That's common sense, or should be.@TheHorse

I must have a "MyLot angel". I rarely have technical difficulties at this site. No error messages. No pop ups. Nothing!

I've gotten pop-ups on other sites and they are very annoying.

@TheHorse Hopefully, the reboot helps. Did you get pop-ups before?

Everything is AOK here in MyLot Land. (Knock on wood).

I have had no problems at all but if you think that is confusing try holding on to writing on a site where the admin does not respond to anyone and where the past week comments have been locked. So we cannot respond and when we comment on other posts we do not see that comment anymore it is just added to the comment list and the person we interacted with won't see our answer until the problem is solved, I am wondering it if might soon be time to walk away,

I am beginning to think that mylot is playing practical jokes on you to test you patience. =(
