What are your favorite MAGAzines?

@AbbeyRhode I used to read Good Housekeeping but they kept making it with fewer pages and half the magazine seemed to be ads. I also would read Woman’s Day, Family Circle, McCalls, and Southern Living. I will read those if I go somewhere with a waiting room and they have them on the side tables.

@cherokeepatti Exactly! It's not worth paying for. I peruse them at the doctor's office, and if I see a good recipe, I take a picture with my phone. :)

@AbbeyRhode During the last day the prices of those magazine subscription fell way low, like $6 a year for Family Circle & Woman’s Day...it still wasn’t worth it to me. I can get the recipes off the internet and they usually don’t offer anything else I can’t find if I search on the internet. Most of my magazines I gave to my friend who likes to bring them with her when she travels to Thailand. And to the local state hospital who lets patients use them to read and use for craft activities such as decoupage and stuff.

@cherokeepatti Same here, there are so many good recipe sites, some with how-to videos. Why pay for a magazine?
Awwww, that's a good idea, donating them to a hospital.

@AbbeyRhode There used to be a website called FreeCycle here and they would take requests or offers of donations. I would post an ad on that and gave away everything that I offered.

@cherokeepatti Oh, I've heard of that.

@AbbeyRhode They might have it in other cities. I think the people who volunteered to run it were disabled and tired of some of the same people grabbing up all the offerings and being greedy. I went and got some books one time, the poster said that she’d leave the box of books by her front door. I picked it up and took it home & had to throw them away, every book was musty and mildewed...like who is going to use them for anything except kindling for a fire?

@cherokeepatti It's sad, but that's always a problem, greedy people hogging too much.
Oh, my! I wonder, when someone gives away something, and it's gross, if their house is that nasty, and they find that acceptable?

@AbbeyRhode I believe they don’t realize how gross it is. I didn’t feel bad throwing those books away, they could have made anyone sick who handled them much less kept them to read.
