Sometimes these people seem so oblivious or carefree that I think they’ve been drinking. How else can you explain the loose tongues and blathering?

Barbara: 50 something, Mother of three (two grown, one in high school), ex wife of three (drunk, drunk, drunk), Married to Reggie. Sits behind me.
Reggie: Barbara's husband, illiterate, unemployed, "recovering" alcoholic
Jennifer: Barbara's oldest, Four children under 12, Constantly moving from one job to another, Negligent, "One of the best poker players in the city"
Rachel: Barbara's youngest daughter, high school age
Sherri: Mid 40s, Artsy, Injury prone, Asks questions at the end of meetings when somebody asks, "Are there any questions?"
John: Twenty something, engaged/newly married. Used to sit next to me, a half wall between us.
Jackie: John's fiancé/wife, controlling and power hungry
Noreen: 50 something, Boss, authoritative but wishy washy, emotions like Russian roulette
