The phrase.. Slow as Molasses is an American idiom for something that is painfully slow. Its history is related to the Great Molasses Flood on 15th January, 1919.
Molasses is liquid but it is a very thick, viscous liquid. When you go to pour it it moves verrrrry slowly. If you chill it molasses hardly moves at all or just plain does not move.
So molasses in the middle of winter, well, you get it, right?

Had anything happening as Slow as Molasses lately?
I did not try Alex as it was moving too slow to barely comment. Glad to see I am not the only one and this was not as useless as others may think to post about.
I really do not like to complain. However these past few days have been tough on Virily. You have heard the saying, slow as molasses? Molasses are a very thick syrup that takes forever to pour from the bottle, as the photo shows. That is how it has been lately on Virily, for me at least. From time out errors to Internal server errors. It takes 1-2 minutes to post a comment, sometimes longer. And even longer to publish a post. And I like to reply to all comments made on my posts. It takes the same or more to view your posts. This is the reason I am behind on here. I want to view my friend’s posts but it is taking hours and it is ridiculous. I hope someone can help me out. If there are updates going on, could you let us know? A heads up is all I am asking. Until it is corrected I will slowly get to your posts.
As I was trying to publish this post I got this message three times…

you would THINK with everyone on here talking about it they would get
SOMETHING done about it, as I had to edit my 1 post I put on here the other day
(4 times) finally I had enough & got a hold of the chat box person on here
& told her what was going on & whew lord it took everything I knew to keep cool.
I hate to say it if they don’t get something done it’s gonna lose a LOT of people on
here cause for one I’ve noticed not a lot of people use the love-it- lol-cute-cry & so on
box’s below & when it takes you HRS to make a post what’s the point?
after I had HER fix what was going on with my post I told her they need to fix
these things & she came back & said their “working” on it well we only have
so much patients to work with you know what I mean?? let’s get it FIXED.
I know and I have gotten no response from any Admin here. That is the scary part. What is going on? If there are updates, let us know! I am hoping for the best.
I’ll give it a few more weeks & see how it goes then
go from there cause I don’t know how long the sites
been up & running OR how long it’s going to take to
fix what the problems are.
Often happens to me. I have to clear my history every time or log out and log in. Doesn’t always work though
Two days ago I almost made a poll about such errors but failed to post, after two times failed I cancelled it because I also remembered that I once created a similar poll.
I’ve had the same issues the past day or so as well….it is frustrating for sure! Hopefully it gets fixed soon so we can all get back to posting and viewing/replying as we like. Right now it seems to be working better for me….
I have the same problems. It’s frustrating, but I guess we have to be patient.
By the way, this expresion is interesting. I didn’t know it. I got called slow as oil recently, I guess this is the Bulgarian version. 😀
This was the reason I could not get into the site. Now it’s time for me to sleep. I hope tomorrow will be better. And to visit all my friends. Good night from me.

I may be molasses in reality though I would like to see myself as water.
Ha! I was talking about how slow the site has been.
I know Carol. Could not help compare molasses with myself when you explained the viscous nature of the fluid.
Yes it was going pretty slow!
Sorry, I really do not know what you wanted to say … I apologize
The site is moving extremely slow today, I can barely maneuver around.
can you share anything with g+? all my links have been invalid since yesterday
I did not try Alex as it was moving too slow to barely comment. Glad to see I am not the only one and this was not as useless as others may think to post about.
I haven’t been able to share anything on g+ for three days now
I do not even know what’s going on … I already thought it was my computer’s fault
No it is not your computer my friend.
