good morning all

10:51 am

cybernan

just read the chat - is that an hi 7-8 that hurshy found?

10:52 am

cybernan

doesnt make sense -- what did she change the vowel in?

10:53 am

BzznBea

yes, it is the hi7/8.

10:53 am

cybernan

so there are two hi 7's?

10:54 am

BzznBea

no

10:54 am

cybernan

then it wans

10:54 am

cybernan

Then it wasnt an hi word she changed the vowel in?

10:55 am

BzznBea

She change the second vowel in her phantom to get the hi7/8.

10:57 am

cybernan

no m, so it can't be the histamine phantom and no ho so it cant be the hostage phantom

10:58 am

cybernan

unless it was the first vowel that was changed
