Please Wait Message DURING a long query

This is related to question
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21739756/Displaying-Please-Wait-message-before-LONG-query.html

I was watching this question because I have a similar requirement, but this didn't really answer it.
If I have a very long query, I'd like the message to stay on the screen while the query is executing, then to disappear and for the data to go out from the query.

I have a page that has two queries, one is quite fast and displays data, the other takes quite a while. I'd like to have the fast data go out, then have a message appear on the screen, indicating something like 'further data is being gathered, please be patent . . .
And maybe even have more ...'s appear, way one every 15 seconds would be a cool touch.

Then, when the query comes back, have the entire message go away and have the data display on the screen from the query.

Is this possible?

Thank You. We have JS enabled that helps with trying to get the absolute locations, especially since the first query needs to stay on the page and I'm not really sure where it will end for any given displayed page.
