Heres a great website to visit: www.Hettygreen.com
Talk about frugal & miserly. This is one yankee (born in New Bedford,MA) that made Lizzie's father look generous!!
She used to heat her cold oatmeal on the radiator so she wouldn't have to pay for extra cooking gas. When her only son came down with a leg infection, she put off medical care & told him not to worry about it until his leg became so bad that it had to be amputated!!!
I plan on visiting this museum on my VACA in a few weeks. Looks like fun>  Mark

Boy, that is some site!  I don't know how you found that.  Had you heard about it?

Do you-all think misers are obsessive-compulsives...really have a disorder?

Hi Kat, I found a pamphlet in a visitor's center in Swansae, MA
I plan on doing some day trips around here on my vacation so this will surely be one of my stops. I also found a few Fall River brochures listing the Lizzie B&B and the Historical Sociaty. It's nice to see Fall River finally trying to promote the Lizzie mystique instead of hiding it.

A biography of Hetty Green was published in 1963; the title of the book is "The Day They Shook the Plum Tree" and the author is Arthur H. Lewis. I believe Hetty Green was the original 'Witch of Wall Street.' It is fascinating reading!

I want to see if I can attach an audio file.  It's so nice to hear MM again!

Will someone try this, so I know if it's possible?

No Kat. I tried to attach that file a long time ago and could not. Though you can't attach it you can save (about 1kb) what is the address of the file.

When you click on what you save it will play the file with Martins on it, but the file will not be on your computer. It's called buffering and is similar to listening to a radio station over the computer.

HUH?  Now I'm confused.
Thanks for trying you guys.
The file was bigger than Arborwood's limit of 75.  So that's why I thought it wouldn't work.
I would need to know if clicking on the attachment I provided loaded a sound byte into your desk top and if a "Real Player" came on and played the thing...or if you went to the site I posted and when that page opened (Strange Museum) you clicked on "Listen" from the original site.
And if not, how could one person get it and another, not?
