1:38 pm

amelu0218

aaaahhhhh! Thanks!

1:39 pm

1:43 pm

joym999

I missed that you also said Duvall welki...the chat goes by fast sometimes.

1:44 pm

joym999

I don't get your clue for the PA. Seems to me both parts of your clue have a sometimes vowel in it, but there's only one

1:44 pm

welki

yep, it does fly by sometimes - but i shouldn't need the validation *lol*

1:44 pm

welki

2:05 pm

joym999

2:05 pm

cybernan

hokie carla

dayoadrian

2:27 pm

joym999

MI6 is a group of 10 in the synagogue

2:28 pm

hokie carla

the mi6 looks like a weird spelling of the yellow guys in the cartoon movie (I know, you don't do movies), or like someone that follows a leader

2:28 pm

cybernan

still doesn't help

2:28 pm

cybernan

oh - know that one -- the twins just turned 9
