Magazine Subscriptions
I probably should have specified magazine subscriptions that I let lapse for a reason when I put up that poll.
For instance, Writer’s Digest. Writer’s Digest recycles the same writing articles, or article subjects, about every 18 months. Nothing I haven’t read or don’t have in a book.
Or, National Geographic. Nice magazine with wonderful pictures, but I hate to throw it away and it takes up a lot of room.
Smithsonian magazine. I stopped that one because my ex-wife insisted we get it, but, after getting me to spend the money, never read a single issue or article. Ever. It’s a nice enough magazine, sure, but the articles are so wordy and often not on subjects that interest me and, yet, I feel guilty when I don’t read it because the entire magazine is so damn educational.
Oh, and that cutie from Match? Hasn’t responded to the last e-mail I sent Saturday morning. And her profile seems to be missing now. Do you think it was something I said? 😉
Been there done that brotha! I chased a girl off the internet completely because of match a couple years ago. And my current girlfriend wouldn’t exactly call me a stalker. Maybe a bit of a slob, but certainly not a stalker. 😛

Your poll was all messed up there. For some reason Maxim wasn’t already listed. Of all the magazines I get my smarts and smoking good looks from this one is totally the bestest.

Well, there goes the last, thin veneer of civility and culture this site might have had. Oh, well, at least it balances out Smithsonian! 😉

Okay, I’ve been a lurker for sometime but have to comment…you are SO RIGHT! I thought I was the only one who noticed that Writer’s Digest seems to do that? Geez. You have some really good posts here. Have a great weekend! 🙂
