5:02 pm

mab

wow. just looked at it. if i don't see the panagram in a few seconds i'm usually sunk. are you a queenie yet hurshy?

5:03 pm

hokie carla

but you might be able paste it and just change the date in the URL without tossing cookies and stuff

5:04 pm

hokie carla

I just changed the URL to yesterday's date (note: the actual one, not the tinyurl I posted here) and it worked, so I think you can do that each day.

5:10 pm

5:51 pm

hurshy

yes i got to queen bee when i said "tada!" lol

5:52 pm
