BzznBea

Morning, Molly. Any big plans for the long weekend?

7:05 am

MollyL

Well, I was going to tackle my walk in closet (exciting, right?) but that may not happen. I'm leaning more towards the relaxing side of things.

7:06 am

BzznBea

I think relaxing is the best answer.

7:14 am

MollyL

What's up in Bea's world?

7:16 am

11:59 am

cybernan

cancel - as a marriage

12:00 pm

cybernan

then extend that an 5 for a 7

12:00 pm

moolingwa

then there's a whole boatload of other ans

12:00 pm

hurshy

the second an7, i don't know that word, but if it had an S at the beginning for sa8, it would mean comfortably confident

12:00 pm

moolingwa

ah, didn't have that one thanks nan

12:00 pm

Wendrie

Thanks Hurshy - that's the one I was missing.

I'd also not extended the 5 to 7 :)

12:01 pm

cybernan

there are 17 an's

12:02 pm

hurshy

and then there's an odd an6 and 7 where apparently birds place picnic pests between their feathers on purpose, to get rid of parasites

12:02 pm

moolingwa

ah, never looked up the meaning on that one :)

12:03 pm

cybernan

on my way unless any other clues are wanted?

12:03 pm
