hokie carla

oh, just found some big D's (zip it, ruru)

9:23 am

hokie carla

found 2 groups on connections and have 5 together and 3 I have a vague idea on that may be wrong since I can't find a 4th.

9:24 am

moolingwa

ah, found the 8

9:25 am

hokie carla

LOL, you know I was joking. and instead of moo saying he found a big D, he just said "the 8"

9:25 am
