How many subscriptions do you have?

Voetbal International (a Dutch football magazine),
Donald Duck,
Carp (Dutch magazine with job vacancies) and
the Dutch Playboy.

Boston Sunday Globe, Atlantic Monthly, Smithsonian Magazine, Lenore, and I Feel Sick (although I don't think those last two are going to come out with any more issues).

non, Lenore c'est finis

Montreal Gazette

I'm not sure.

I have two at the moment...
Readers Digest...which I have no idea why I get? I never get billed for it....

and Rolling Stone...

In the past I have subscribed to:
Discover
National Geographic
Victoria
Parents
Out
The Advocate
Vegetarian Times

I'd like a subscription to Playgirl and Tattoo Flash.

3-5 not sure...guitar world, reader's digest, baby talk, and a few other *mommy* magazines

Personally, I think I'm down to one Mac magazine. mandy gets a couple others that I sometimes read.

At one point I had so many magazine subscriptions that I wasn't reading them all. It seemed like such a waste, so I've decided to keep my favorite, and if I'm in the mood for something else, I'll look for it on the magazine stand and buy a single copy if it looks good. I end up saving money in the long run, and still having plenty to read.

TV Guide count?

3 not counting trade journals. 7 if you count them. Also does the Victoria Secret catalog count? I seem to get one of them every week.

I was just reading Guitar World two minute ago. What a great magazine.

I'm not really sure... we got one as a Xmas gift, I have one that I get but throw away because I lost interest in the subject. Plus, I seem to be getting a free subscription to a game magazine, I'm not sure why.

The Advocate and Cooks Illustrated.

Oops, I forgot about scholarly journals. I get the Journal of Biblical Literature, too, because I belong to the Society of Biblical Literature.

It used to be over 10, but I've dumped a few from my old job recently and it's down to 7 - Mother Jones, Utne Reader, Wired, Fast Company, Nat'l Geographic, Comic Relief, and the Sun. I'll probably drop the Fast Company and Wired subscriptions once they run out, they do less and less for me over time. If there's an Economist or Scientific American lying around at topper's I'll often read one of those as well. I read the Boston Globe daily online because it doesn't kill trees, o/wise I'd get the paper version.

jon...what do you wipe your bum on?

twm: Toilet paper...I'd rather not get ink stains on my butt.

I was curious cuz of the whole tree killing thing. I always thought it would be cool if someone came up with a TP not made from trees. Then, they came out with cotton TP, which I was afraid to try because it sounded like wiping your ass on a T- shirt, which doesn't appeal to me. They make TP out of recycled paper which is probably a good way to go, though it is more expensive.
I tried the whole "save the trees" thing but got discouraged when I realized you have to spend a fortune to find alternative products AND many alternatives to wood, paper etc...harm the environment in other ways. UG!

Example: Use cloth hankies instead of paper tissues, but then you have to launder hankies which adds to the whole detergent, water use factor.

The electronic newspaper alternative is a good one though, wait...it does use up valuable electricity....!

I give up.

Too bad you can't wipe your butt online. Well, I guess you could, but you probably wouldn't want to use the computer much after that...

*my bum is on the keyboard, my bum is on the keyboard, my bum is on the keyboard....my bum is on the screen, my bum is on the screen, my bum is on the screen*

magbast!!!

GET THE POO OFF MY BUM!!!!!

Jonathan, did you know that Adam used to work for Utne Reader!

Its 11 now - New Scientist, Science News, Harpers, The Economist, Scientific American, Bee Keeper's Journal, Motorcycle Consumer News, ACM Communications, National Geographic, Red Herring, and MacWorld. I'm way behind in my reading....

Whoa, man...do you ever have time to read any books?!

Disney Adventures

I get the Economist, Adobe Magazine, and Dr. Weil's Self-Healing Newsletter (if you accidentally rip it,it heals itself ). Our household also gets Scientific American, Discover, Harper's, and New Yorker. I read jonathan's National Geographic, but I want my own Comic Digest because I don't spend enough time there to keep up with it.

mandy, I'm pretty sure that cotton is a far more environmentally heinous crop for paper than tree farms- it requires a lot more pesticides and water to grow (I think). Go for high post-consumer-waste content recycled paper whenever you can get it.

I priced them in the store tonight...65 cents a roll!

When I started using cloth diapers, I read that the detergent/water thing was not as big of a problem as the tree/landfill problem with disposables.

twm - I'd read more subscriptions electronically, except that most of the online versions of magazines have less content than the paper versions, and often there are interesting sidebars & graphs and the like that don't make it into the online versions. I use recycled papers whenever possible, even when they're more expensive.

topper - I usually read Comic Relief within 48 hours of its arrival,
you can borrow them if you like.

bill - yep, Adam brought it up at a GV meeting.

None, but the c*nt in law has a million and is addicted to every one of them. Maybe that is why she is such a flake, and never knows her face from her ass.

oops, read the whole thing completely wrong. I thought it said prescriptions for some reason.

mary: LOL

National Geographic and Gourmet.

7.

Hey Lion, good choices! I only subscribe to two magazines currently, Scientific American and Cycle World, but I used to get Motorcycle Consumer News and it ROCKED! Unfortunately, they didn't handle my change of address and I got mad and didn't resubscribe.

Does my subscription to the online version of Consumer Reports count? When I subscribed, I chose to get the online version rather than the print version, but the content is the same in both; only the presentation differs. I didn't count it because the question specified ``no e-zines,'' but discounting a magazine subscription because it's delivered electronically seems like splitting hairs to me. The trade rags that I get for free count, but my paid subscription to Consumer Reports (which unlike PCWEEK et al., I actually read) does not.

I've thought of seven, but I must be forgetting some.

prozac and remoron

oh, don't i feel dumb... i was still on the medicine thing...
