I can’t believe it! I’ve been so busy trying to get this site overhauled and updated that I forgot my baby’s birthday! A Web Site Created by Babs turned five on August 8th.

Happy Birthday, Baby!

I’ve decided to unplug Babs’ Jukebox. I found it was such an ordeal to update it wasn’t worth keeping. The fact that it’s August and there were still links up to downlaod Holiday music was a definite tip-off.
    I had created the Jukebox as an act of defiance; I was tired of the greed within the music industry. There are so many fly-by-night groups and other crap out there that “one hit wonder” now takes on new meaning. I felt if someone wanted just one song, they should be able to purchase just that one song, and not have to pay through the nose for a CD loaded with junk.
    Fortunately some companies are starting to take the hint. Last I checked, WB was making large amounts of its library available for download. And then there’s Lycos’ jukebox thingy. You can listen all you want. You only have to pay to “burn” the songs. Of course, this still doesn’t solve the problem of music that’s currently no longer available. That’s where folks like me come in. Get yourself a free copy of WinMX (adware and spyware free, and highly recommended by visitors to Downloads.com), and join the rest of us in the virtually hassle free trading of “vintage” and otherwise hard to find music. You’ll find me under some varitaion of Maxell Pink (everytime I have to re-install XP I have to get a new screen name).

See ya there!

Look! A real update!
    You can now go to my “Just Who Do I Think I Am?” page and not only read current information about me, but the right title graphic is there, too!
    If you book marked the page you’ll have to do it again. I decided to include a page of “test results” and to keep it all neat, I had to give it all its own folder. The cool part is that now when you bookmark you get to have a pathetic looking icon next to the link in your Favorites. *grin*

Well, I better get going. I have an early practice in the morning and I still have a ton of stuff to do!

See ya!

It has just been brought to my attention that The Witches’ Voice is in some financial trouble: listings and traffic are way up, but sponsorships are down. They are now encouraging visitors to either become sponsors, or to make some sort of donation.
    The Witches Voice is one of the Pagan community’s most valuable and most trusted online resource, and I, for one, don’t wish to see this treasure disappear.
    I’m asking all Pagans who read this, to please visit The Witches Voice and donate whatever you can afford, even if it’s only a few dollars. Together we can save our “Voice”.

Thanks!

Welcome to the semi-new and maybe improved What’s News page. I’ve been accessing this page almost on a daily basis to check the weather and it disgusts me that I’ve almost gone another two months without an update.
    If nothing else I’ve updated this page. I’ve been tossing around the idea of replacing the page with a blog to make updating a bit easier, but Tripod’s blogs leave little room for tweaking if you aren’t familiar with CSS. So instead I decided to learn how to do frames and incorporated the blog into the original page. If you don’t do frames, I apologize. The rest of the site is frames free for that reason, but they were the only way I could figure to achieve my goal on this page.

Business has been going well. Things have slowed slightly, but they should pick back up once I get my new shipment of Tarot Erotica decks. Due to another seller swiping my picture for the decks (you’d think a seller with five eBay years and over 1400 positive feedbacks would know better, but they learned 30 minutes after I reported it) the decks now have to be moved to the Mature Audience, which will make it harder for folks to find them since I’m told items in that category don’t come up under the regular search. So if you’re looking for my Tarot Erotica decks, that’s where you find them.

I’m going to DCA (if I remember correctly, that’s Drum Corps Association)! Yup! Yup! I may have been relegated to the Honor Guard )or the “Khakis” as Sandy, the colorgaurd captain loves to call us) but I’m going to be there. Just look for the one screwing everything up. :o)

We have a new car! Well new to us, anyways. And Goddess help the Cody’s if I find their car parked next to it! We had a problem where the old Lumina would develop a new scratch or ding everytime their car was next to it. If it weren’t for the fact that the Lumina was 13 years old and falling apart I’m sure Glenn would’ve ripped the father a new one since the scratches always lined up with his (teenage) kid’s door. So the new car, a Ford Taurus Wagon, is now parked far away from where they usually park (they have a cow if they can’t park in front of the building’s entrance), and I’m keeping a close eye on it, armed with my panic alarm.
    An interesting thing happened the night before we picked up the car: apparently the police caught some kids in the Lumina. I have no idea how they got in since the doors were locked, but there they were. They were in for a surprise, though, as the car was empty in preparation to be taken to the junkyard the next day. I’f you happen to live off the bikepath, or near Grove ST, do keep an eye out. Of course this is all irrelevant if you don’t live in Arlington, MA. *grin*

Well I better get going. I still need to make sure this page looks okay in its frame. It looked fine without text, but I want to make sure it looks okay with the text.

Toodles!
