10:00 am

10:11 am
72 Temple Owl
i was there to escape the heat. could have stayed over if not for repair time change.

I am back and giving up on a listless finish. This will be lively! Haha, I kill me.
4:18 pm
MollyL
It's okay Carla. Some of us are not impressed by "Finished, no list"
4:19 pm
hokie carla
I definitely am impressed by it. But I was joking about my usage of listless being much different than the actual meaning of listless.
4:24 pm
MollyL
It's impressive that people can finish these grids so fast. The bragging, not so much.
4:27 pm
hokie carla
amazing the easy words I missed all day vs. the babble-only words I got on first pass
4:28 pm
hokie carla
of course I can't find the last 2
4:30 pm
gremlinn
I don't think people brag to impress people. That makes no sense, young Molly.
4:31 pm
hokie carla
I think "suck it, beyotches!" tacked on at the end would be a brag. I might just save that for if I ever finish sans list again.
4:32 pm
gremlinn
I'd appreciate it if people didn't try to start trouble. Don't make things personal.
