I'm working on an inclusive-as-I-can-get-it (tongue-in-cheek not-really-PC) winter holiday card and need your input!  Please, send anyone you think might be interested by to click a few boxes, and thanks![Poll #1465400]

[livejournal.com profile] umbramage is looking for a (probably b-grade horror) 1950's movie with these plot points, and Google is failing me:

1)  Haitian or African woman who

2)  Drains the Life Essence from

3)  [(implied) Young] Men to

4)  retain her youthful appearance.

If anyone is off on Friday the 11th and would be willing to be my boothie, the Celtic Festival is a smallish Irish/Scots deal in Buffalo on a Friday and Saturday (DH is planning to be there after work Friday and all Saturday with me).

After setup there should be plenty of time for running around doing kilt checks and learning Gaelic (there's usually a booth giving free lessons!) and they have Haggis at the food tent. You do NOT have to wear garb, though if you want to it's fine.

Adopt one today!Adopt one today!Adopt one today!

So everyone here knows by now that I'm doing massage at White Hart Faire this year, right?  I sure babble about it enough!

I generally vend soaps, candles, etc., but this time I'll have just a very small selection of these, more b/c people have learned to expect dragon candles from me.

I will have a reflexology recliner, a table, and a massage chair with me in my booth.  Now the difficulty -- the vendor coordinator (and owner of the site and faire) wants the chair hidden from view as it is "not period."

Well, I can toss a sheet over it -- but that'd get real dirty real fast, and would have to be removed/replaced for each customer and I just don't have THAT many sheets!  (No laundry on/near the site -- this is RURAL.)

I can use "curtains" to block view into the booth -- which will increase the heat and be much rougher on me.  Even with good signage, this would cost custom as people wouldn't see what I have to offer.

At least two other faires that have a massage vendor allow the equipment to be out in plain view, but this is supposed to be a more historically accurate setting, so...ideas?


ETA:  Remember, this all has to fit in my car in one trip....

Computer things and I are not getting along again...

I have downloaded some books in zipped files from Baen Books -- legally, thank you.

I have the thing to unzip them.  SecureZIP for Windows.

I can't get the flippin' things to open, and yes I've tried the help file.  Some of the things it tells me to do I just do not understand.

Would someone be kind enough to either call me or let me call you and talk me through getting one of them open?  After that (and copious handwritten notes) I SHOULD be able to do it again.

PM me for phone number, or if you don't mind my having yours, PM that and a good time to call please.  I can pay in imps, fancy soaps, or jewelry like the stuff on my Etsy shop.  Or if you live close enough or will be somewhere I plan to be, massage.

*******************************************************************
OK, I can read the books -- though I'll have to delete everything I have already and download a different format to use with a different method.  Wheee!

Uhm...eek?

I think I need someone to talk me through choosing and downloading a thing to backup my LJ.

If ou are good at this and patient with those unsure of such processes, may I ask for a contact # and good time to call?  comments screened, of course!

ETA:  Ok, I got ljarchive-0.9.7-doc  - SecureZIP xpress, downloaded and unzipped it....now how do I tell it to get LJ entries?  And do I have to tell it EACH entry, or just take it to the first one say "Sic 'em!"?

OK, [livejournal.com profile] shannihilation  talked me through setting up a copy-to-IJ using LJ-SEC; it did NOT copy comments, though, and I still want a backup to an external drive (which I have on hand) WITH comments.....yeah, I'm ARCO, what about it?
