Edited on Sun Sep-23-07 07:37 PM by ok_cpu
And what's your favorite?

Do you read all of them?

1. Where's your choice for Zero?
Oh, wait. I do get two.

I used to get about 20, and they all have lapsed.

But I still get Poets and Writers and Foreword.

14. Do you like the Forward?
I used to get it about a decade ago but let it lapsed because I thought it was too conservative (particularly considering its socialist beginnings)

2. 2: The Altantic and Eating Well.
I love them both. The Atlantic, is well, so mentally stimulating.
And Eating Well has such great food ideas!

4. Just one - Taste Of Home
I've been a subscriber for ten years. It's the only magazine I've ever taken that long.

I used to subscribe to several others - Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, Good Housekeeping, Reader's Digest, among others - but I just didn't have time to sit and read them all.

18. TAPS: The Atlantic Paranormal Society
Edited on Sun Sep-23-07 09:37 PM by tandot
http://www.scifi.com/ghosthunters/about/

We are huge fans of "Ghost Hunters" at the SciFi channel. Here is more info:

Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, plumbers by trade, head up TAPS — The Atlantic Paranormal Society — a group of intrepid souls who are far from the usual collection of bespectacled Ph.D.s. They're ordinary, everyday people — office managers, factory workers, teachers and even psychic-hotline gurus — with an interest in getting to the bottom of your otherworldly disturbances. Jason, Grant and their team of moonlighting ghost-hunters are our first and last defense against uninvited paranormal visitations. Tom Thayer and Craig Piligian of Pilgrim Films (American Chopper) are the executive producers



And here is their own website:

http://www.the-atlantic-paranormal-society.com/


My husband graduated from New Mexico State University and we just love New Mexico

9. 2-5. But Mrs. J-Lib is obsessed with those "1 copy free" offers.

It's a heavy burden. :cry:

15. Hey Rabrrrrrr,
In the Biblical Archeology -- do they 'splain how Jesus met the dinosaurs and moved into Egypt and raised Cain?

17. Silly. They raised Cain in Babylon. Egypt is where they found the ark after Moses killed Caesar.

22. Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Spin, The New Yorker.
Edited on Sun Sep-23-07 10:45 PM by CrabbyPatty
O, Real Simple (I'm not renewing that one; it sucks), People, US Weekly, Cook's Illustrated and My Big Backyard for the kids.

My fav---gotta go with the tabs---mainly US Weekly, but I love the cartoons in The New Yorker, and I always find good books to read in the ads/reviews.

It takes me the most time to read my Vanity Fair---great lengthy articles. I usually read that mag after the kids go to bed.

27. Only 1: WIRED
Which should be called: Advertisements for crap that you probably don't really need, but can't afford anyway so it's a moot point.

29. I used to read that religiously, but it went to crap ca. 2000
and I finally dropped my subscription in 2002.

It was such a fucking cool magazine from the beginning and into the late 90s. Incredible, excellent magazine.

But man, did it go to crap.

33. I used to get Time, PC MAG, and Wired but
then they started pestering me, so now I don't subscribe to any.
I don't get any newspapers delivered either.

35. Mac|Life, Motorcyclist, and American Bungalow
Now that I see their names together, that looks like a pretty weird combo. :P

I like Mac|Life, Motorcyclist is good although I think Cycle World is about the same and sometimes better, and American Bungalow has the best eye candy if Arts & Crafts art and architecture does anything for you.
