View Full Version : What magazines/newspapers do you subscribe to?
I get US news and world report and guns and ammo (don't care for it really, got it for $5 off ebay). Wife gets a parenting magazine and womans day. No papers at all. Thinking about subscribing to the weekend delivery of the clarion ledger. I would like to get the local paper delivered but they can't get it here before I leave to go to work and if I can't read it in the morning, I'd rather not have it. Occassionally I'll pickup a USA today.

I've given up on subscriptions, but used to enjoy Southern Living, Time, and The Smithsonian. Playgirl wasn't that bad, either, until I learned the truth about the general target audience.:smt105

We tried getting the weekend sub to the CL, but did you know they have to mail it to you? You'll get it on Monday and Tuesday. May as well just go buy it out of a machine at a gas station.
I get Time, because it was given to me free with my enrollment in some professional organization. I also get National Geographic Traveler and Sports Illustrated for Kids, and both of those go to my classroom. We also get the HA, even though it's not that great, just because my husband likes reading the paper before he goes to work. I originally got it so I could use it in the classroom, but then the school gave me a subscription, so now my husband takes the paper that comes here. I'm always looking for cheap subscriptions to magazines that my students might enjoy-- as long as it's not something that will actually lower their IQs, like Teen magazines and all that junk.

I believe that Scientific American has a youth version of its magazine.

I was supposed to get a free mag sub. last year... but it never happened.

Maybe you live in a different delivery zone or something. I live in Petal, and they said it had to be mailed. I ordered it online, and after a couple of weeks I called because I hadn't received any. Turns out they had mailed them to our PO box, which we rarely check anymore. It was crammed full of old newspapers when I checked it! I called and they said it couldn't be delivered in my area. If they ever change that, we'll probably subscribe.

Glamour, oh yes. That's when you're young and can be "glam". I used to buy, and still do on occasion, Vanity Fair, mainly for the incredible writing. But, I've even given up on that. The ads depress me.
Does AARP Magazine qualify as a subscription?

Sure it does Sue. I think I might just buy another subscription to Marie Claire. I havent thought about that in years but I really liked the articles and the fashion news. I like Glamour too.

I used to get InStyle and Glamour but I canceled both subscriptions bc I'm just not home enough to actually read them anymore. I only read books now. And I read MH for my news.

Beach Blvd, which has beautiful pictures of the coast and Cooking Light which I just ordered from Southern Living at Home.
Hubby gets Men's Health and PB...and he thinks he has to buy at least 2 mags everytime we go to the grocery store.

Hmm - I guess it's a holdover from all those years doing 'magazine drives' at school... but we get Reader's Digest, Smithsonian, Southern Living, Pilot, Popular Science, Saltwater Sportsman, Louisiana Sportsman, Coastal Living, and give Consumer Reports ( I get the issues a month later :D). I also subscribe to the local rag ( The Columbian Progress ) on-line.
Dang UPS box isn't big enough for all the junk :kekeke:

Well, if I know UPS, and I know them well after dealing with them for 26 years, those bastards will find a way to squeeze them in the box. Have no fear of that!:ohnoes:

Come on folks - if you're going to call someone "bastards" - at least know who you are talking about! :cry:
UPS does not deliever mail, nor magizines. UPS does not deliever Saturdays, and UPS does not use mail boxes.
Your friendly United States Postal Service, delievers all that great reading material to ya'll, as well as your bills, refund/rebate checks, Social Security and Retirement checks and all that glorious standard mail (as a USPS empoyee I have brained washed not to call it "junk mail") right to your front door/mail box, six days a week (except holidays). We deliever thru rain, sleet, snow, and hail - but we don't do hurricanes!:smt023
Back on subject, we get PC World, Air Force Times, Family Circle, People and Bowler's Journal.

I get Roadracing World, SCUBA, Quad, Law Enrocement Officer, and American COP magazines. I find myself reading them less and less though. They usually just make clutter. The SCUBA magazine is the only one I uggh, read, cover to cover, and that's because the pictures are so great in it.

Guns And Ammo, Army Times, The Journal Of the US Army Armor and Cavalry Association, Mountain Biking, Bicycling, Artists' Magazine, International Design, The Shotgun News, Post 30(E-zine for Army Public Affairs).
Thinking about getting a scrip for National Geographic, which I used to devour when I was a kid. I learned more from reading that and Smithsonian than anyone was willing to teach me in school.

If you're talking to me, United Postal Service not USPS, as a company is shit. I dealt with them for 26 years. I was in sales and had to use them sometimes for three packages under 50lbs. I know UPS. Envelopes, checks, continuous forms would arrive looking like they'd been dragged behind the friggin' truck. They'd tear hell out of a box of live continuous checks, grab them up like they were packing leaves into an unmarked box and deliver them, checks missing etc. And they would get anybody they could to sign for them. I hated those bastards. I'm sure UPS in MS is cracker jack. Not the ones in NC and SC.
Is that anything like United Parcel Service?

Sure. My bad. Same thing. I apologize to whomever I offended, and I'm positive things: 1. Have changed greatly in the 10 years since I dealt with them. 2. I can only speak of the ones I dealt with in NC and SC. Back then, I'd rather be in hell with a broken back than ship anything by UPS. I will leave it at that.:smt023
