Do you subscribe to periodicals? - BlueTiki - 06-09-2011 Besides work, employment or professional publications, do you subscribe to magazines? These are my "guilty pleasure" core subscriptions: Vanity Fair, Dwell, Sunset, Fast Company, Z, Utne Reader, Atlantic Monthly and Surfer. I never get a chance to completely read all of the issues. I think it's time to shorten the list. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - Lady Cop - 06-09-2011 no, i read everything except books online. but i did just order a 7-year subscription to 'THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CUTE SMALL FURRY WOODLAND ANIMALS AND HOW TO FEED THEM' for Maggot. he'll get the bill soon. i ordered him 5 pizzas too. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - Duchess - 06-09-2011 Consumer Reports, Southern Living, Country Living, This Old House, Vogue. Horse Illustrated. I used to get a ton more but I still have magazines from 2010 sitting untouched in a basket so I've declined to renew subscriptions. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - Duchess - 06-09-2011 Tiki, your threads don't deserve to be put in the trash forum, I'm moving this. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - Lady Cop - 06-09-2011 i do get "Birds and Blooms", Maggot gave me that subscription. and i buy Martha Stewart mags only in Oct. Nov. and Dec. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - IMaDick - 06-09-2011 Fisherman,Hunter,a few specialty mags like lumbermans and things like that , and of course the tech stuff for the processing equipment. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - Cracker - 06-09-2011 No. Kills my zen. I used to subscribe to a few, but not now. I'm not going to pay someone to flood my home with paper. Same with newspaper subscriptions. (Although, there are people in my community who buy the Sunday paper and save a ton on their grocery bill. I wish I were a coupon-y type of person.) RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - username - 06-09-2011 We get Time, The Economist, The New Yorker, Men's Fitness and Boys Life. The New Yorker was a gift subscription and I've largely ignored it. I read Time and sometimes a few articles out of The Economist but that's about it. I prefer the newspaper and books. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - QueenBee - 06-09-2011 Nope. Usually just buy what I want off the shelf...or get really cheap and read them at the library. I get Reader's Digest every month. LC...someone at the place where Kim gets Therapy leaves Birds & Blooms in the waiting room every month...so I do read it there. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - Lady Cop - 06-09-2011 i peruse these in the grocery store~~ RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - Maggot - 06-10-2011 My brother would grab a Penthouse mag from off the shelf and then go ask to use the mens room. I would leave the store acting like I didn't know him. He is kinda weird like that. RE: Do you subscribe to periodicals? - cladking - 06-10-2011 I used to get a few but then someone gave me a free subscription to Readers Digest and I couldn't get them to stop. It just went on and on with their automatic renewal program. No more. No periodical ever again. I do try to pick up all the pistcards that fall out of other peoples' magazines and drop them in the mail so they go to the right place. I think it's the least I can do. The postal service can use the work and advertisers wouldn't have cards fall out if they didn't want them back. Just tape them to a brick if you want the postal service to make more money.
