I've listened to 96.9 BOB FM for a long time, originally through their website, but lately through TuneIn. Ever since I started working from home 6 years ago it's always been on in the background while I work.

Yes, there are a ridiculous number of commercials, but I'm pretty good at tuning them out while still letting the occasional song filter into my consciousness.

This all changed about a month ago when they started playing this commercial for Midas. It's something about some sort of plan to give you, I dunno, free tire rotations or something. Anyway, the worst part is that they include about 5-10 seconds of the song "You're the Best" by Joe Esposito, which some of you might remember from the original "The Karate Kid" film from the 80s.

The commercial runs about 5 times every hour, sometimes back-to-back, and because it includes a snippet of a song which I used to enjoy it draws my attention.

I now hate the song, hate Midas and have come to hate BOB FM. A part of me feels petty and wants to reach out to the publisher of the song to see if Midas really has the rights to play it during their commercials. It would give me a ridiculous amount of joy to find out they're violating copyright and the commercial just DIES.

I recently purchased the Ozlo Sleepbuds 2, which came with, among other things, a sleep mask. As a bit of background, I've never used a product like this before. I've just done sleeping the old-fashioned way: lay down on the bed and pray for sleep. There's a small fan by my bedside that was essentially my white noise.

Anyway, I was surprised and pleased that the default inserts fit my ear, so one night I put the Sleepbuds in with default white noise, which was a little loud, so I turned it down a bit. I put on the face mask, adjusting it as indicated in the documentation, and settled in for what I hoped would be a comfortable night's sleep.

A sleepless hour later, I pulled off the face mask, put the Sleepbuds back in their container and crawled back into bed. I was asleep almost immediately.

Just to add a little more detail, the reason for this change is that although I've been sleeping recently well, one of my neighbors has suddenly decided to start having loud conversations outside my bedroom window between 12-3 AM on weekdays when I'm trying to sleep before getting up for work around 5 AM.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. Does anyone have any fine-tuning advice? Maybe I should try different sleep sounds? Or, could it just take some time to adjust to this change in my usual sleep pattern? I've only done this once, so maybe give it another shot with current settings?

Help!

I recently purchased an Epyx Fast Load cartridge off eBay and was surprised to find that it actually worked, even though the listing had it as untested.

The only downside is that the label is awful. Faded and has orange spotting on it.

Short of buying dedicated equipment to make my own label (too expensive), does anyone know of somebody who could print a replacement label? I Googled for a while, looked on eBay and Etsy, but no luck.

I've been buying replacement labels on eBay for my Atari 2600 carts over the last few years and there seems to be a market for those, but can't find anything for C64 carts.
