It's November already... and we at Punky Moms are just levitating calmly in cyberspace...

October was a great month for us. We had many fantastic entries into our costume contests (read further in this newsletter for the results). There was a Halloween swap which resulted in many happy moms with lots of ghostly new goodies. We also welcomed three eagerly awaited Punky Babies: Aiden, son to Shelley/Oxeia, Edie, daughter to Heather/Heatherfly21 and Alice, daughter to MicheleM. And we participated in many heated political debates, and all of our members handled themselves with grace and decorum - there wasn't one incident where any that involved any serious drama - way to go!

November is shaping up to be a good month as well. Our new book club is starting their first book this month; There is a super secret swap just announced for this month; There will be many fantastic holliday recipes shared by our members as we gear up to feed our families Thanksgiving dinner.

We're looking forward to hearing all the great things going on in your lives this month.

Q. Do I have to wait for my current subscription to expire to buy a new one?
A. Yes, the way the board keeps track of current & expired subscriptions and changes your user group prevents you from being able to purchase a second subscription (how the board sees it) while you currently have one. Please do not purchase a gift subscription for yourself, it just makes more work for me. If you wait until your current sub runs out, then when you purchase a new one it does it automatically.

Q.Will I be notified when my subscription runs out?
A. No, but you will notice that half the boards are gone, it's a pretty good indication your subscription has run out :-)

Q. I went inactive and I know my subscription is current but it's not showing on my account?
A. This you do need to contact me about. When our board puts you into inactive status, it changes your group. It isn't smart enough to change it back when you return (other than to make you active) so I need to reset your subscription.

Q. Where do I buy a gift subscription?
A. In the Punky Store in The Alt Bazaar

If you have a business and are trying to get the word out, you should consider having us review your product(s).

Having us review your product gets the word out about you and your stuff. It lets people who may be considering your stuff but aren't sure whether they want to buy know that you have a great product.

The review will be featured in our newsletter which is sent to everyone who is registered with us - not just those who are active on the board. We also publish the review on our main site which is accessible to the entire web surfing public. We will include pictures of your product, your web address and logo in our review. We will also give you a copy of the review to use on your site as a testimonial - provided you link back to us.
