I kept getting them and then felt resentful that I couldn't redecorate my house every month! ;) I The tips and recipes those offer are good, but again, they can be found online or something similar. Pinterest has really become my ideas magazine. And I don't have to find a place to store the pages. Which is also a plus.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-25151316248514070972015-07-27T10:18:38.100-07:002015-07-27T10:18:38.100-07:00Pretentious.

I've decided just following them on Twitter will give me access to the things I want to see from their print magazines without all the other. <br /><br />I tend to intersperse my magazines between my books. Oxford American is the only one I let sit there any real length of time (it's a quarterly) and I often debate whether to continue it.

Then I end up tossing most of them.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-66588951204678926992015-07-26T10:43:12.433-07:002015-07-26T10:43:12.433-07:00Hand delivery wouldn't work for me.

(meaning they would "read" it before I got my hands on it)<br /><br />I love magazines and much prefer the real thing to a digital version. Over my lifetime I've taken a variety of magazines, but there are a few that have been constants. I even did a "favorite five" entry on magazines one time. <br /><br />You know...I'm not sure I've ever even picked up a copy of Vanity Fair.

Having not spent time in a business with a lot of titles, I don't know for sure, but from examples like this and others I've seen there's something of a self-importance with titles.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-37373867606333530192015-07-26T00:50:39.169-07:002015-07-26T00:50:39.169-07:00WTF is 'strategic sourcing'.

I do wish they would stop butchering the language with made up terms that lessen the individual meaning while trying to jigsaw fit the meanings into the compound. It's like saying stone-water or fiery seas.

Our postal service can sometimes be unreliable on the time things take, so it could be a way for them to control the delivery. Mag subscriptions always pride themselves on being delivered before they're on the shelf in the stores/stands. Maybe that wasn't happening. I could really care less on my end, so the new "service" is wasted on me.<br />Yah, when I travel out of the country, before landing I've turned data roaming off. They charge an arm and a leg for usage. I paid for out-of-country service a few trips ago. What a waste of money that was. It didn't work most of the time anyhow. Most hotels and cafes and some attractions have free wifi, so you're not completely disconnected.

It isn't for me only the reading of it but the touch and especially the smell. Of course not VF for me, nope it's VS :-).<br />What's downright dangerous these days is when you get into teh habit of reading a newspaper, bit of it anyway. And then you go on holiday and forget to disengage the 'roaming' feature. The Irish Times web page is 25 Meg and in the US roaming charges is €1 per meg download on the data. Scary !.
