But since you asked, I only receive about half the mags and get them 3 weeks late. There is some mean Republican in the post office pitching my mags! Grrr!

I receive:

Real Simple

I stopped receiving many more, bec. the recycling was out of control. My sister gets Cooks Illustrated, and we share.

47. Do you scrapbook?
I saw that you subscribe to Creative Keepsakes (so does my wife)...she's also on their message-board a good amount of time..

To be honest with you, I'm surprised at how big scrapbooking has become over the last couple of years...or maybe its always been big and I've just noticed it since my wife started doing it.

50. Yes, I do. I got into it about 1998 when my son was born...
It is a big business, you are right about that. I try and keep it simple. My husband would kill me. ;)

41. I've had to cut down on my list
Edited on Fri May-06-05 08:13 AM by deutsey
I still subscribe to

Harper's
The Nation
In These Times

I had many others (Utne Reader, Tricycle among them), but the cost and lack of time to read them all forced me to jettison them.

On edit: A friend passes on her New Yorkers to me when she's done with them.

43. Harper's, Mother Jones, Vanity Fair, Reader's Digest (hey, it was
a gift), and The Globe (a tabloid, and it was a gift from my sister. Seriously). I used to get Time and Newsweek, but let those run out some time ago - they pissed me off too much with their biased coverage of Boy George.

44. I have subscriptions to Glamour and Marie Claire.
They have really good articles for women and I am a fashion junkie. I read a lot more such as People and others, but do not have a subscription to them.

46. Is "Real Simple" the magazine on how to simplify your life?
I've avoided it since overflowing piles of magazines are definitely keeping me from the simple life!

Two that I do get: Juxtapoz & Mary Engelbreit's magazine. (Odd combo?)

Plus the Texas Observer!
