We are bombarded with magRags at the check-out cuonters at all grocery stores. Curious.......who buys magazines any more? If you do, which ones do you buy?
That and Guns ARs and Ammo
Despite using Kindle and online info, I still get Southern Living and Sunset in paper.
we used to get Discipleship Journal, which we loved... but they went out of business, so now we get Christianity Today... and World Magazine... that’s it...
Wyoming wildlife
Golfweek
Golf magazine
I love logic problem puzzles. (”The red one is neither first or second, and it is not a girl”).I play a few casual games that have them.
There is also a kind of gridded puzzle I adore. They are called Nonograms or Griddlers and there are a few casual games that have them, like World Mosaic puzzles.
>Do you buy magazines any more?
Yes; I particularly like 50 round magazines for the PS-90.
;)
I buy a few of the same magazines as you listed. I noticed last year that many of the different car mags featured editorials excoriating dhimmicrats for putting the squeeze on our “hobby”. Leading into the 2010 elections they shed their political agnosticism and urged their members to vote for the automotive aftermarket industry by voting for Republicans.
I was truly shocked (and pleased!). They got a few snipes from lefty readers but my guess is that lefties don’t care for hotrods (or much else besides spending other people’s money and degenerate sex).
Let’s hope they repeat this in 2012!
Wait a minute ‘cat, we are talking about ‘magazines’ here. That pic of yours is a thing that is always referred to as a ‘clip’ here on FR. In case you don’t know, a ‘clip’ is a thingy that holds ‘bullets’ that fit into a gun’s ‘barrel’...................LOL!!!
When I started playing bass back in 1998 I bought a couple of copies of Bass Player for a couple of flights. Other than that, I think it was sometime in the 70’s. All of my exposure to magazines is business, doctor and dentist lobbies.
I do have a few stacks of Model Car magazine from the 60’s. I was pretty into that sort of thing back then.
Six months ago I subscribed to a magazine called “Elections and Campaigns.” Since I plan to run for office, I thought it would help. It’s interesting, but not as interesting as I hoped it would be
Sometimes I’ll pick up a couple before traveling. I like having something light to read on the plane. Usually I’ll get somethig photography related, and perhaps a National Geographic or something similar.
We get Fine Cooking , Food and Wine , Corvette Fever , Guns and Ammo , and Fine Woodworking .
They might be uninhabited but they are all claimed by governments
Before the advent of the internet, I consumed mass quantities of glossy rags. That was also before I had a wife, four kids, a business, and a mortgage.
Most mags I read today come free in the mail, or I inherit them from various people. Can’t afford the old habit anymore, but I do still love ‘em.
Backwoods Home magazine is a good one, and very FReeperish, actually. I’ve been wanting to subscribe to it, just as soon as I can dump my townhouse in the burbs and move further out from the “metro”. (i.e., not anytime soon. I’d move further out than that even, if I wasn’t dependent on a paycheck.)
Although I currently don’t get them, as a neighbor has been giving her subscritions to them free after she has read them, I like Sauveur, Sunset, and various Tea magsl Ones I often get subscriptions to are Southern Living (although I live in the too often frigid North), Taste of Home, and a local Mag called West Suburban Magazine, re local area events, stores, eateries, towns, and points of interest. I also like, but they are too expensive except for occasional purchase, Architecture mag, and Cooks mag.
The only subscription I still get is my medical journals. I used to subscribe to Conservative Chronicle, Human Events, American Spectator, and Weekly Standard. But the internet pretty much put an end to that. If I want news, I've got FR and Drudge. Much fresher than 2 week old "news". Although I sometimes miss taking the Weekly Standard to my local steakhouse. I could read the issue in one sitting, while enjoying a few beers and a thick filet mignon.
