2:43 am

sprite

so... Lickety back, and babble working... it looks like a good day. Hope it stays working today. Morning babblers

3:17 am

sprite

the pe7 is not that weird, btw. It is a currency, just like the more common one. Ghana coin, 1/100 of a cedi. In case you wondered. :D

3:20 am

sprite

made it all the way to fireflies today, glad the site stayed up. Bye all.

3:47 am

MollyL

I'll vote weird for the pe7. Most people are not familiar with the currency of Ghana.

7:58 am

8:04 am

hokie carla

8:13 am

hokie carla

8:14 am

hokie carla

somehow I remembered that ghanian currency

8:15 am

rururocks

i saw it as soon as molly posted the note

8:16 am

hokie carla

I had to get to know the grid first

8:17 am

hokie carla

I assume the bottom D has to be DE?

8:17 am

rururocks

8:17 am

hokie carla

8:18 am

hokie carla

8:20 am

mael

8:20 am

8:21 am

hokie carla

8:29 am

hokie carla
