Don't worry about the slowdown; it happens periodically. Just depends on the time of day --- at certain times you'll find all the North Americans on board, other times it's the Aussie/Kiwi contingent, and other times it's the Europeans. Of course, those of us who simply never sleep are on here at all times, day or night...

I don't speak Italian (though I can read it well enough) but... I'm very well thank-you, and you can call me sugarfreecandy, SFC, or sweetstuff, whichever you like. [i]

[i]Hablo Español; et je parle Français; und ich spreche Deutsch. Sometimes I even speak English. Portuguese, Latin, Pali, Sanskrit, Inuktitut, and Gaelic are fun to fool around with as well, although I only speak enough of each to get lots of points when my friends and I play international Scrabble --- I know words but can't really converse. Mostly here at Pixies' I stick to pestering people with my French --- there's no point confusing the issue too entirely.

Alors, bienvenu à Pixies; de quoi veux-tu parler?
