[speaker001:] okay uh my name is Karen
[speaker002:] okay my name is Terry
[speaker001:] okay and this uh they said about magazines we I've probably personally take I think just two but that's because my mother-in-law takes every one they print and gives them to me a month later so
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] so I get all of them uh the one that I really especially enjoy and you may be familiar with it from Wisconsin is called Country
[speaker002:] oh yes uh there's Country Living there's Country and uh
[speaker001:] well this yeah this one is the one that has all the pictures of scenery from places we wished we live like Wisconsin
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] gorgeous leaves and trees and all the lakes and the mountains and things and I get that it has recipes in it and that's my very favorite
[speaker002:] sure oh that's great
[speaker001:] what do you take
[speaker002:] well I actually take Country Living it's a country magazine and House Beautiful because I like um that kind of stuff decorating and uh getting ideas for a garden in fact uh right before you called I was planning my tulips
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah decorating uh-huh are you
[speaker002:] and uh putting them on blue print on where I'm gonna put them so I'm really into that but uh so I really get into magazines that are kind of basically into um housing type things whether it be
[speaker001:] oh and decorating and how to do things uh-huh
[speaker002:] decorating and gardening and recipes that kind of stuff so I'm pretty much in the same category as what you're looking at
[speaker001:] yeah well we we tried for a while to take a news magazine we took Newsweek and I think we took it especially just during the war to kind of catch up on everything and have it be digested but we've kind of discontinued that right now and we've we're gonna start taking that uh US News
[speaker002:] um-hum sure yeah yeah yeah we I've had Time before I think with that what happens is uh
[speaker001:] uh newspaper USA Today I think it is yeah
[speaker002:] it's interesting to read but you kind of just put the magazine away and you never read it again unless there's some big article in there that you're gonna keep for your kids but
[speaker001:] uh-huh that's right that's exactly right I did the same thing we saved the ones from the election and we saved the ones from the war and one from the earthquake and then
[speaker002:] um-hum it exactly you you sound exactly like what we did we just saved everything we could for our daughter but uh
[speaker001:] and um-hum uh-huh
[speaker002:] that's pretty similar but I find that with these Country magazines I keep going back to them getting ideas looking back and saying jeez there was a flower garden in there that I seen that I would like to have some ideas you know so you get a lot of ideas from them
[speaker001:] well you sound like you that's the thing you sound like you have the facilities to do that
[speaker002:] yes we do we're out in the country we're right across from a river and uh you're right the leaves are beautiful and they are falling now so uh it just peaked uh last week and it was just gorgeous out here but
[speaker001:] oh oh I bet it is gorgeous
[speaker002:] yeah it's beautiful the other thing about magazines the only thing I don't like is they really get heavily into advertising and you know it's it's
[speaker001:] I agree
[speaker002:] it's fine I'd rather almost have I know that part probably half their money comes from these people that are saying
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] uh put my ad in your paper and I'll pay you or whatever but uh there's been some magazines I've looked at and it's a real turn off to see every other page uh some kind of ad
[speaker001:] yeah right every page I did the same thing I I think I opened Vogue the other day or something and it was just nothing um-hum and I thought why buy this you know what's the point
[speaker002:] yeah Vogue is heavily into that you know yeah exactly it's almost I mean you could go into a store and get bombarded the same way but uh
[speaker001:] that's right and my number one pet peeve in a magazine is when they put the perfume in it
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] because uh real often I don't like very heavy perfumes and very often like you know in my bills also magazines and bills and they'll come out just stinking the whole thing
[speaker002:] yeah exactly  exactly yeah they're really getting into that so but pretty much like it said the magazines I've had Better Homes and Garden and now I need a switch and I'm going back to Gourmet Cooking because um I've had the magazine
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh
[speaker002:] before back in nineteen uh eighty six and I thought well I'll give it a try again because you get tired of one magazine and you need to try and change
[speaker001:] I understand well do you do you tear out of your magazine your recipes or do you keep it
[speaker002:] uh yes I do and sometimes most of the time I tear them out a lot of times if uh you know if I got a chance to sit down at my typewriter I'll go ahead and type out recipes but
[speaker001:] um-hum type it off uh-huh
[speaker002:] what I usually do is I'll try it out in the magazine first and uh without tearing it out and then give it a yeah and then if we like it it becomes part of the recipe collection but uh
[speaker001:] see how the family liked it oh that's a good idea well I'm gonna pay attention more when I'm in the store to that Country Living I remember seeing the cover back when I decorated the house with a lot of the little country uh primitive things
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] the little the little pigs and the geese and the ducks and that we had that was the big rage here couple of years ago and I bought a lot of the country magazines and then it seems like when I put some of that away I quit buying it but I had forgotten the recipes
[speaker002:] um-hum sure sure uh-huh
[speaker001:] and I'm gonna I'll have to check that out
[speaker002:] yeah it it that's what I I just went through uh we just recently moved from Minnesota to Wisconsin I went through all this I had this huge stack of House Beautiful I had Colonial Times I had Gourmet
[speaker001:] uh-huh  and you don't wanna part with any of them because there's one thing in each one
[speaker002:] yeah it was hard but I ended up uh reducing them down to like fifteen magazines out of uh hundreds and I just said okay there's one picture in there that it really doesn't
[speaker001:] oh that's good
[speaker002:] you know it's got to have more than that it's got to have some good ideas it's got to have everything so I just kind of went through and I find that most of the magazines I really like is around Christmas time because it helps me
[speaker001:] uh-huh right right I I know
