Jeez, Aims. Let the smiting begin!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Wikipedia says
The city's unusual name dates to the time of its settlement. While surveying the first state road through the Huron County wilderness in 1861, Rudolph Papst and George Willis Pack made camp at the future site of the city and found a much-used and badly damaged axe. At Pack’s suggestion, Papst used the name “Bad Axe Camp” in the minutes of the survey and on a sign he placed along the main trail.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wow, Laga. How come I never even thought to look that up? I'm starting to be tempted to join Ancestry.com again.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Seska!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Do it! Genealogy is fun and totally addictive!
I think the interview I had this morning went pretty well. At least, it felt comfortable -- some of them have felt really awkward -- and the last question they asked was whether I'd accept if they offered, to which I said yes, definitely. They said they'd get back to me within the next few days. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. (Which makes typing a bit difficult.)

I didn't skim! I was just impressed that Laga looked it up.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I was looking at an old 19th century map of the area around my hometown, and had a "hey, that's where that street name came from!" reaction when I saw one plot labeled "Jms. Caton's Farm." The street that farm was on is now called Caton Farm Road.
That's a common way to label streets in our area; the main north-south street in the west side of Joliet is Larkin Avenue, which was named after my great-uncle's farm which lay along a central portion of that road.

The google-fu is mighty in the thread.
I'm thinking of starting up my ancestry.com subscription again. I still think it's outrageously overpriced, but I'm ready to start trying to track down more of the Campbells back into Ontario. I can find cousins in MI that my dad remembers, but I can't seem to find the link between them and my great grandmother. Frustrating.
