none of this is helping me any more than it did when he said it this morning though

5:55 pm

hurshy

but i just hit 100 words, so that's nice

6:08 pm

MollyL

That's hilarious. He gave you mice and you still don't have it?

6:08 pm

penquis

she's not the only one... ;o)

6:09 pm

hurshy

is it a science word or not? i was thinking it was some kind of genus name or whatever

6:09 pm

MollyL

But you guys have six out of the 8 letters and can't connect it?

6:10 pm

hurshy

i didn't know he meant those were letters in it.
