Don't bring back too much sand.

3:56 am

Cat9x

Hi Haz! Yes I have been away but back now :)

3:57 am

Haz1558

What kept you away from us?

3:58 am

Cat9x

My little Grandson keeps me busy busy!!! I watch him everyday and he keeps me running, plus my cat rescue took up any spare time I had, things have settled down now :)

3:58 am

Haz1558

Well, I'm glad it was for good reasons and not illness etc. Welcome back!

3:59 am

Cat9x

Thank you, great to be back!

3:59 am

Haz1558

Did you find all your word power coming back to you?

4:00 am

Cat9x

slow at first, but getting back up to speed :) Still don't have the time I used to have to babble, but I get to it when I can, or when I can keep my eyes open! :)

4:01 am

Cat9x

speaking of eyes, mine are closing, nite all, happy babbling!!! Great to see you again Haz!

4:01 am

Haz1558

The main thing is that you enjoy it. I was offline for about 10 days recently when the computer was sick and it was tough sometimes, dreaming of all those grids and wondering what was happening with the players. I have a sad life....

4:02 am

Cat9x

I do enjoy it, glad you are back too Haz! Puter problems are the worst! ugh!

4:03 am

Haz1558

You're at the mercy of men who talk to you about gigs and rams and hackers. You try to look intelligent but you know the pitying looks mean that you haven't succeeded in stopping the eyes from glazing over.

4:04 am

Cat9x

LOL, too true Haz!

4:05 am

Cat9x

I'm off, nite nite, see you tomorrow!!!

4:05 am

Haz1558

Sleep well, Cat, and nice to see you again.

Okay - sleep well.

Lizsark

hello everyone

4:33 am

Haz1558

Good morning Liz.

4:34 am

Lizsark

Oh! The cat of glory! I have that on my kitchen wall!

4:34 am

Haz1558

Really? I saw the card one day in town and was struck by its relevance.

4:35 am

Lizsark

My son bought it for me its a bag with a soft toy ginger cat inside it. We say its like my big fat giner cat Toby....he is indeed the cat of glory

4:35 am

Haz1558

Some of the US babblers had never heard of Edward Monkton. He now has a fan club and if he wasn't married, Scrabbler would put herself forward.

4:36 am

Lizsark

I have a fabulous little book by Edward Monkton called The Lady & The Chocolate - brilliant!

4:36 am

Haz1558

I know. He has the ability to understand the workings of a woman's brain.

4:36 am

Lizsark

He's very funny

4:37 am

Haz1558

Handbags that constitute the meaning of life, shoes that speak to you - you know the sort of thing.

4:37 am

rolin

oh yes///i found the 10 all by muself..woohoo..morning all..lol

4:37 am

Lizsark

absolutely Haz :)

4:37 am

Haz1558

Good morning rolin!

4:37 am

Lizsark

well done Rolin - and good morning!

4:38 am

rolin

but im sitting on the counch...which is way away from the pc...(cos my partner is working at the desk on his laptop..)...so i cant see any posts frpm this sdistance

4:38 am

cool girl

is the 10 letter related to the 9

4:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, and it seems to be affecting your ability to type....

4:39 am

Haz1558

No, the 10 letter is a descriptive/past tense relating to an eight.

4:39 am

Lizsark

LOL HAz ! Shame on you! Have you never sat on a counch before?

4:39 am

Haz1558

No, counches are banned over here, they're reckoned to be a menace.

4:39 am

Lizsark

I love the tr 9/72 word LOL

4:40 am

Lizsark

they are Haz - they stop you from typing!

4:40 am

Lizsark

Sorry Rolin! Only joking! :)

4:41 am

Haz1558

Do you suppose the tr9/72 is a verb or a description of an aspect of our 'friends' from under the bridge?

4:42 am

Lizsark

I think its descriptive of me on a Friday night some 20 years ago

4:42 am

Haz1558

It's like something the Duke of Edinburgh would say in an unguarded moment. 'Stay under this bridge much longer and you'll go home tr9/72'

4:42 am

Lizsark

Surely the D of E never has such moments?

4:43 am

Haz1558

No, it's all media hype. The man is totally silent at all times, no opinions whatsoever on anything.

4:43 am

Lizsark

Naturally, he is a MAN after all !

4:44 am

Haz1558

No, no, you'll not get me down the road of decrying men. Edward Monkton proves there are good men around.

Lizsark

Ah... how could I forget so soon.... now I dont suppose E.M. has had a sex change has he?

4:45 am

Lizsark

LOL dont hit me Haz

4:45 am

Haz1558

Not at all. Life isn't a soap opera.

4:46 am

Lizsark

But it would be so much fun if it was

4:46 am

Haz1558

It would be torture!

4:46 am

Haz1558

Can you imagine - lost relatives coming at you from every direction?

4:46 am

Lizsark

only if it was lived in Walford!

4:46 am

Lizsark

I prefer to keep most of mine at arms length if the truth be known

4:46 am

Haz1558

Weddings that have to be held at 2 days notice in the local pub.

4:47 am

Haz1558

Snarling and sniping and misunderstandings galore. No, I'll stick with real life. Besides, I've never heard ANYONE in soap land say they babble.

4:47 am

Lizsark

and irritating music being played at all times in the background

4:48 am

Lizsark

yes, why is that? I know the head honcho on Corrie perhaps I should drop a few hints

4:48 am

Haz1558

Did you ever watch the worst soap opera ever? it was so bad and ridiculous that it had a mesmeric quality. Sunset Beach. Identical twins, dreams, fortune tellers. It had everything.

4:49 am

Lizsark

I dont think so but I did see a few bits of that El Dorado programme...

4:49 am

Haz1558

If I'm having trouble getting to sleep at night, I try to remember the twists of the plot lines. It's so complicated my brain surrenders and zzzzzzzzzzz.

4:50 am

Lizsark

LOL I must give that a try

4:50 am

Haz1558

This was El Dorado multiplied by 10. Disfiguring diseases, doctors who had gone to the bad. It was unbelievable.

4:50 am

Lizsark

We used to watch that awful soap that was filmed in Macclesfield in Cheshire and partly in Australia...now what was that called?

4:50 am

Haz1558

Oh and people who were supposed to be dead and who weren't.

4:51 am

Lizsark

The Cheshire bit was mainly set in a riding school

4:51 am

Haz1558

That doesn't ring any bells - the Australian/Cheshire one.

4:52 am

Lizsark

Hm going to bug me now till I remember

4:52 am

Haz1558

Try googling 'ridiculous soap opera Cheshire Australia'

4:53 am

Lizsark

Ah ha! Families! That was it

4:53 am

Lizsark

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Families_
(TV_series)

4:53 am

Haz1558

No, I'm pretty sure I've never seen it.

4:53 am

Lizsark

so bad it was hilarious

4:54 am

Haz1558

There must be a sub-section in the soap opera genre for shows like that.

4:55 am

Lizsark

People get paid to make them! Life's so unfair! There are so many jobs like that in the world and I dont get to do any of them....like the job of the person who invents the names for colours of paint

4:56 am

Lizsark

I'd love to say that my job was 'to contribute to the absurdity of every day life"

4:56 am

Lizsark

...or perhaps not LOL

4:56 am

Haz1558

I thought that was done by committee. Multiple people sitting around trying to be clever. Just give numbers and be done with it!

4:57 am

Lizsark

Ah dont disillusion me! My life's ambition is to name pots of paint LOL

4:57 am

Lizsark

The more flowery and poetical the better...

4:57 am

Haz1558

Keep an eye out for Situations Vacant in the newspaper.

4:58 am

Lizsark

I do I do... scan them every day :-) Just think of owning a house painted in magnolia...oops no sorry I mean Sensuous Soda

4:59 am

Haz1558

Keep taking the tablets, Liz.

4:59 am

Lizsark

Right I have to go do some work... real work not just dreaming up paint names... see you later Haz

4:59 am

Lizsark

*pops a tablet* *waves bye bye* LOL

4:59 am

Haz1558

See you later!

5:28 am

inge

Guten Morgen, Haz, are you holding down the fort all by yourself now? My fingers have hardly recuperated, but i can deal with a normal grid

5:29 am

Haz1558

I'm still here, inge, listening to babblecast. How are you?

5:31 am

inge

My computer savvy son is flying in on Sat for his Monday medical checkup with U of Michigan. He can finally "download" babblecast for me.

5:31 am

Haz1558

So you've been missing out up to now? You're even mentioned in the current one.

5:32 am

inge

I got the first three or four, then they turned to chipmunk voices, and I gave up

5:33 am

Haz1558

It seems to be okay now, accessed through podbean. I had the chipmunk thing going on for a couple.

5:33 am

inge

are any words using the ng ending? I keep trying with no success

5:33 am

Jacula

I'm here. Nice grid - 19 left to find. I must put my old pc or the laptop on to update myself with Babblecasts. I get a sound disparity on this new pc so one person deafens me and I can hardly hear the other.:(

5:34 am

Haz1558

No, ng not used.

5:34 am

Haz1558

Hello Jacula!

5:35 am

inge

I shall have to abandon that idea then

5:42 am

Haz1558

Well, time I was tackling the ironing. Bye for now.

5:43 am

inge

bye Haz

5:44 am

Jacula

*Slips own pile under Haz's.*

5:47 am

Jacula

Tee, hee. Think I got away with that. Don't she she spotted me.;)

5:47 am

Jacula

*think she spotted me, that is.

5:48 am

inge

You can do mine then, Jacula

5:49 am

Jacula

inge - I'm busy making Christmas cakes.

5:49 am

Jacula

... and picking plums.

5:49 am

inge

too early> I start my Stollen baking around Thanksgiving

5:50 am

Jacula

Rich fruit cake's a bit different to Stollen, inge. It needs 3 months to mature and be 'fed' with alcohol, otherwise it would be dry.

5:52 am

inge

I used to make those fruitcakes. Hubby wrapped them in alcohol soaked clothes. Then my clientele (family) didnt care for fruit cake anymore. And Stollen is currently IN

5:53 am

phandmd

I also bake stollen. I love it...

5:53 am

Scrabbler

7:22 am

licketySplitAUS

I can confirm - the tick is important - that's what it is for

flosey

Carlee, are you ok?

8:17 am

Mom

I'll say, Scarlet

8:17 am

carleekat

ok..so is this grid a bit...tight with its words..or am I just completely out of practise?

8:17 am

Scarlet

It's an oddball, kat... but you'll get in the swing in no time!

8:17 am

lideola

i'm sure you've heard, but yesterdays was a monster with words everywhere, so this one is a gift

8:18 am

carleekat

oh flosey... life just deals crud once in a while...I seem to be dealing with a lifetime of manure at once... but....from manure..great crops emerge...if they can waade their way through the depths of .... crud....

8:21 am

lideola

keep your dignity and your head up and in years to come you will look back on this much and not have any regrets (except maybe some things that might land you in prison)

8:21 am

Scarlet

LOL, kattie... you have your head on sooooo straight!

8:21 am

8:29 am

Aloyisius

ty.. going to see her day after tomorrow

8:29 am

Aloyisius

right, lideola.. mommy deserves an award. 31 hrs of labor..

8:30 am

lideola

i think my girls were that size at their 3 month appt... but my girls were a few weeks early

8:30 am

lideola

ugh

8:30 am

Scarlet

Yeerrrrchhh...

8:30 am

lideola

i had horrible horrible horrible pregnancies, but wonderful labors

8:31 am

lideola

congrats Aloy... is this the first grandchild?

8:31 am

Scarlet

I loved being pregnant and the deliveries were textbook...long, but who cared? The little miracles were worth it!

8:31 am

flosey

and the blessings of a dear sweet child after all that lideola

8:32 am

Aloyisius

yes, lideola.. the first and I hope not the last.. (-:

8:32 am

Aloyisius

lol,, wouldn't blame the mommy if she is a bit shy of having another for a while

8:32 am

Scarlet

Sounding exactly like a grandmama already, Aloy! LOL

8:33 am

lideola

oh absolutely- but i would rather give birth every month for 9 months than be pregnant for 9 months again

8:33 am

lideola

wonderful Aloy- enjoy it!

8:33 am

Aloyisius

would you be my mentor if i need any granmama lessons, Scarlet?

8:34 am

Scarlet

Of course, friend...it's easy: spoil the stuffins' out of them for a couple of weeks, and when you are exhausted, go home and leave it to mom and dad!!

8:34 am

lideola

ah what lessons? spoil spoil spoil, do all the things the mommy's and daddy's won't let the children do

8:34 am

Aloyisius

i love this advice!

8:34 am

Scarlet

:-0

8:35 am

lideola

i will give you one bit of advice- serious advice... spoil with love and attention as well as little gifts, etc.

8:35 am

lideola

my husbands father is generous with the money... but not with attention and the kids are afraid of him

8:36 am

Scarlet

Always tell them that what they do is good, and if a negative comes into play, stress the action, not the person... and hug until your arms fall off...

8:36 am

lideola

my parents are generous with everything, especially the love and hugs and kisses... and my kids enjoy every moment with them

8:36 am

Aloyisius

right, lideola.. the kids know what is important, don't they?

8:36 am

flosey

how sad lideola, the kids understand love

8:37 am

flosey

sure they like to get things, but they do know the difference when love is not involved

8:37 am

lideola

he's getting married in a couple of months, and his grandchildren aren't invited to the wedding

8:37 am

Aloyisius

i think dogs know who really loves them, too.. and who is just pretending

8:37 am

Scarlet

OH!

8:37 am

lideola

and THATS all i'll say about that

8:37 am

Aloyisius

ouch!

8:38 am

Scarlet

Children are radar specialists...

8:38 am

flosey

that's for sure aloy - and dogs love unconditionally

8:38 am

Scarlet

Isn't that the truth, flosey? Always loyal and forgiving...

8:38 am

lideola

yes, they have a unique sense for bullshit artists

8:38 am

lideola

sorry for the vulgarity

8:39 am

flosey

we get the message lid, and indeed they do

8:41 am

lideola

one of my phantoms is celery

8:41 am

Aloyisius

guess what.. fireworks, and I am sad to leave this wonderful group, but today is the day off for the valet and laundress and housekeeper and personal assistant and cook, lol... so, sigh.. I must go. Will try to pop in and say hi as we whirl around in the coming weeks.. ttfn, y'all.. (-:

8:41 am

8:43 am

flosey

thanks ben

8:43 am

Aloyisius

lideola.. your icon shows as a black square for me.. thought you might want to know that.. ga5's are abundant in florida

8:43 am

bendamalina

or, conversely, ga5/14 are galoshes

8:43 am

Scarlet

'Bye Aloy. Congratulations on your light show!! Have a wonderful day in spite of the "staff" being off! LOL

8:43 am

lideola

oh= thanks... i put one in... might need to refresh

8:45 am

bendamalina

Scarlet

Wow, a celebration for flosey, too! Well done!

8:46 am

lideola

8:46 am

bendamalina

8:48 am

Scarlet

8:48 am

flosey

8:49 am

flosey

8:49 am

flosey

8:49 am

Scarlet

Have a warm rest, flosey.

8:50 am

flosey

ty scarlet

8:50 am

Scarlet

Oh, nightmares... you have to wonder how they form in your brain... I guess it's our steam valve so we don't go mad during the waking hours...

8:51 am

flosey

very seldom ever remember a dream but this one was all too real

8:51 am

Scarlet

My beloved has vivid dreams and nightmares, too... mostly about the grandchildren being in danger...

8:53 am

flosey

10 years ago I dreamed I was going to be a gramma - when I told my daughter, she said don't look at me mom and I promptly forgot it - a few months later same daughter reminded me of that dream when we learned my son was going to be a daddy - was at time of conception

8:53 am

Good morning, everyone

8:55 am

flosey

8:56 am

flosey

Scarlet, they pinpointed it to a weekend away in Montreal

8:56 am

bubba218

DONE!!! Thanks for the clue, quick and easy, especially compared to yesterday's grid

8:57 am

flosey

WTG bubba - nice to have a day to get something else done after yesterday's puzzle

8:57 am

Scarlet

Wow, flosey... we are "witchy" so many times as parents, arent' we? That is some story, and I believe it! Congratulations, bubba!

8:59 am

bubba218

There is much more to dreams then we realize, there are so many stories of dreams whichives one a rehearsal of an event, or forewarns or reinforces, etc, etc

8:59 am

Scarlet

Yesterday was so cooperative... the water was out for several hours, so I Babbled without too much guilt... couldn't do the laundry, or other water-related chores... Man plans, God laughs. Always!

9:00 am

Scarlet

Yes, exactly, bubba... and if we have any wisdom at all, we listen to the "warnings" and projections.

9:00 am

bubba218

very true

9:00 am

flosey

indeed scarlet, you were given a nice little rest from it all

9:01 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:01 am

9:24 am

bostonmermaid

good morning all!

9:26 am

Scarlet

Hi, boston... how are you, and how are those Sox doing at the end of this amazing summer!?

9:28 am

bostonmermaid

hi Scarlet... you know, I live just 2 blocks from Fenway Park and I have no idea!!... I know they're playing a home game tonight

9:28 am

bostonmermaid

this grid is making me feel stupid...

9:28 am

Scarlet

Ohmigosh, boston... We were at the Arts' museum about two years ago, and I just had to go up to the building and touch it... I had tears in my eyes... Yes, I am a baseball freak, but I understand those who are not...

9:29 am

Scarlet

The grid is fairly straightforward once you get the "sense" of its layout...

9:30 am

bostonmermaid

how far are you from me, Scarlet? I love the museums here too

9:31 am

bostonmermaid

I like all these funny g words

9:31 am

Mary

any clues for the 9 & 10 letter words?

9:32 am

Scarlet

We moved to Asheville, NC, at the end of 2005, and we are loving this funky city... but Boston has such a charm ("big dig") notwithstanding... I loved it there... watching the sculling and listening to the language

9:32 am

Scarlet

Hi, Mary! Not there, yet!

9:33 am

Scarlet

Oh, Mary... didn't you have a massive word loss last night... did it get "fixed"? I felt so bad for you.

9:33 am

periwinkle

back to find my last 37 words

9:33 am

Scarlet

Hi, peri! YOu're ahead of me!

9:34 am

Scarlet

Will catch up on correspondence after finishing this one, peri! :-)

9:34 am

Mary

Hi, just started, no finally found my entire list after restarting the computer. Was missing one though and finally found it. Was a toughy.

9:35 am

Scarlet

Oh, I felt horrible when you said you were almost done with that monster and everything just disappeared!

9:35 am

periwinkle

I am looking forward to getting your e-mail Scarlet :-)

9:35 am

Scarlet

Soon, dear... soon... LOL

9:36 am

Mary

Can't stay long this am, must shop, bbl

9:36 am

Scarlet

Later, Mary!

9:36 am

periwinkle

Have a Reiki client (human) in a few hours and then I promised to volunter at the high school near me that offers classes for adults from 6 pm to 9pm

9:36 am

inge

the 10 word is an en. do you have sc 6 yet? Put en in front and make it past tense

9:37 am

Scarlet

Good, peri... that's always good to hear that your talents are being used. Hi, inge. Like the old biblical sc****s that carry the word of God, inge.

9:38 am

Scarlet

Oh! Doh! That was a clue. Thank you inge! :-)

9:38 am

inge

yes, scarlet, a good clue

9:38 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:38 am

periwinkle

havaing trouble with the ar words, 2nd ar5/14 and both ar6's

9:38 am

periwinkle

*having*

9:39 am

Scarlet

AR5/14, first one, creating a line or curve, past tense

9:39 am

periwinkle

NM found them, thanks Scarlet though

9:39 am

Scarlet

The second sounds like the sock pattern without the "Y"

9:39 am

bostonmermaid

great clue, Scarlet, and just when I needed it!

9:40 am

Scarlet

Great, boston!

9:40 am

Scarlet

Good going, peri!

9:40 am

inge

Mary, the same happened to me on the big grdi on Friday (was it?) I actually emailed Dr. God to help me find my 52 missing words. Eventually they returned a few at a time, except for 2, which i then traced. So I was not the only person having that disappearing problem

9:41 am

bostonmermaid

any help on the 2 n's?

9:42 am

Scarlet

I would have trouble breathing if that happened to me, inge.

9:42 am

Mary

Drove me crazy especially being such a big grid

9:42 am

Scarlet

Someone clued: ****** Blye

9:42 am

bostonmermaid

ah!!!

9:42 am

Scarlet

And plural... also clued as the nasty girl on Little House on the Prairie

9:43 am

Scarlet

Yippee~! :-)

9:43 am

Mary

ne6/18 is a girl's name and its plural

9:44 am

periwinkle

de7 please

9:44 am

Scarlet

Not there yet, peri.

9:44 am

inge

My computer cannot handle such big grids. Gets terribly slow. But I have learned to solve big ones from the bottom up, since after a while the lower part of my word list wont even show anymore

9:45 am

Scarlet

What a good idea, inge. I don't have that problem, but I have seen discussions about the list disappearing during large grids... that makes perfect sense.

9:45 am

dcseain

peri, wilma always told fred not to be so dr5/12, past tense it.

9:45 am

inge

de 7: the plural of those places that make good Reuben sandwihes/

9:45 am

Mary

inge, that could be because from the 2's down there was nothing. So maybe that's the problem. But don't worry it'll be a long time before I tackle such a long one again

9:45 am

dcseain

i'm not awake..

9:45 am

dcseain

do'h

9:46 am

Scarlet

Good morning, dc...are you still up, or have you had a catnap? LOL

I'm still recovering from yesterday's grid.

10:19 am

dcseain

i went grocery shopping, dinner w/a friend, fell into bed, so never finished yesterday.

10:20 am

Atalante

me too!

10:20 am

CiociaJudy

I'm one of those Babble fanatics. I had to finish the damn thing. It was after 11 p.m. here when I finally finished.

10:21 am

Atalante

me too ....

10:22 am

dcseain

i like to finish, but after being up for 29 hours, it was not in the cards.

10:22 am

Atalante

you're just not addicted enough yet

10:23 am

CiociaJudy

geez, 29 hours. *slinks to corner thinking how tired she was yesterday after only 17 hours*

10:23 am

dcseain

part of it Judy, is that i work nights, and now and again stay up through the following day on my days off.

10:24 am

dcseain

as was the case yesterday.

10:24 am

CiociaJudy

don't think I could ever adjust to that schedule, dc

10:24 am

Atalante

do you like working nights?

10:25 am

dcseain

eh, i don't mind, but i look forward to moving back to days. Night shift has too much of an impact on my face-to-face social life.

10:25 am

dcseain

were the shifts not 12-hours, it wouldn't be so bad, i think.

10:26 am

dcseain

upside, nights are slow, so i get to babble through my shift. :)

10:29 am

Atalante

ok. I just looked at your LJ. hard boiled egg cookies. Explain, please!

10:29 am

dcseain

oddly not, but it leaves little down time.

10:30 am

dcseain

the hard-boiled egg cookies are recipe one of my austro-hungarian ancestorrs brought with her - she was ethnic hungarian.

10:31 am

Atalante

I'm sure they are gorgeous. "Weird" things like that always are, but I couldn't even begin to work out how to make them!

10:31 am

dcseain

it's a ro6/21 cookie, very lightly sweet, which batter contains hard-boiled egg yolks, that you roll thin - about 3cm, and back, and you get a very delicate

10:32 am

dcseain

i'll send you the recipe if you'd like. We top w/walnuts and powdered/icing sugar, or whatever, bet ever glaze, it's too heavy for them.

10:32 am

Atalante

i'd love that! my email addy is in my profile

10:33 am

dcseain

cool. i'll do that later, once i find the recipe cards. They're in the library, and i think i know where. :)

We have friends visiting the second week of October, Krista, and they want to visit the Biltmore... I just can't walk those marble floors anymore... it is an exhausting tour of how many rooms? 400?

10:45 am

Krista

Oh, yes, Judy, that too. Isn't there an indoor pool as well?

10:45 am

CiociaJudy

good and bad, Peri. That's one of the reasons I don't chat much. I'm chatting today at work. But if I'm in Court can't do much of that. and at night there never is any time. We had a "scare" about two weeks ago. Had to rush him to the ER--sugar level was 36!!!

5:47 pm

hurshy

i fancy nt but i could be wrong

5:47 pm

hurshy

thanks, ok, let me see

5:47 pm

hurshy

39 points, so the 6 is odd. 12 and 27 is more likely than 21 and 18, i should think

5:48 pm

hurshy

but the g can't have a 5/12, so it must be the 27. i am missing a g6/27 and a c5/12.

5:49 pm

inge

if you have the gl 5, add the plural

5:49 pm

lilliann

tyvm.fireworks for me and i can do4/5 myself up and go to bed finally.i'm like you hursh,competitive!

5:49 pm

hurshy

yes, must be bc there is only one way to make a g5/18 and i have that. i tried the other, unlikely as it was, and it won't go.

5:49 pm

hurshy

yes i have one gl6/27 that is a pl and i have a ga6/27 that is a past tense

5:49 pm

Jellen

Congrats, lilli!!!

5:50 pm

inge

the two gl 6 differ only in the placement of two letters, invertfourth and fifth letter

5:51 pm
