The earthquake guy is also the name of one of the Lincoln conspirators. I only know this because I live in the area to which they fled and things are named after those in the story.
9:58 am
MollyL
I also work for one of his descendants.
9:58 am
rururocks
Lincoln conspirators?
10:02 am
hurshy
JW Booth didn't act alone. he had conspirators. others were meant to kill other senior members of the gov't but they didn't... got drunk or otherwise chickened out or something... they were all hanged
10:02 am
MollyL
Yes, you are familiar with the Lincoln assassination?
10:03 am

Apparently the way to get a cat to stop staring at you is to stare at them. People who are uncomfortable with cats often avoid looking at them, which has the wrong effect.
3:41 pm

Hello everyone - I'm sending this note on behalf of my mom (westford) - aka Nancy. She played Babble for many years and I believe was friends with lots of you. I'm so sad to let you know she passed away yesterday morning from heart and lung complications and loss of weight after about a month in the hospital and rehab, then hospice a few days at home. We will miss her dearly and just wanted to let you all know. Nancy's kids - Jo, Wendy, Erin, and Jon
