[speaker001:] Okay, 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
[speaker002:] Okay.
[speaker001:] but that's because my mother-in-law takes every one they print and gives them to me,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] a month later [LAUGHTER], so. 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 they have all the pictures of scenery from places we wished we live, like
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] Wisconsin [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Gorgeous leaves and trees and all the lakes and the mountains and things.
[speaker002:] Sure.
[speaker001:] And I get that, it has recipes in it, and that's my very favorite.
[speaker002:] Oh, that's great.
[speaker001:] What do you take?
[speaker002:] Well, I actually take COUNTRY LIVING, it's a
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] country magazine on HOUSE BEAUTIFUL, because I like, um
[speaker001:] Yeah, decorating.
[speaker002:] that kind of stuff. Decorating
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, getting ideas for a garden. In fact, uh, right before you called, I was planning my tulips
[speaker001:] Are you?
[speaker002:] and, uh, putting them on blue print on where I'm going to put them, so
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] I'm really into that, but, uh, so, I really get into magazines that are kind of basically into, um, housing type things, where the, be
[speaker001:] And decorating and how to do things.
[speaker002:] decorating and gardening
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and recipes, that kind of stuff. So I'm pretty much in the same category as what
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] you're looking at.
[speaker001:] Well, we, we tried for a while to take a news magazine. We took NEWSWEEK
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and I think we took it especially just during the war to kind of catch up on everything and
[speaker002:] Sure.
[speaker001:] have it be digested. But we've kind of discontinued that right now
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and we've, we're going to start taking that, uh, U S NEWS, uh, newspaper. U S A TODAY, I think it.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah, I've had TIME before.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] I think with that what happens
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] is, uh, it's interesting to read
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] but you kind of just put the magazine away and you never read it again
[speaker001:] That's right.
[speaker002:] unless there's some big article in there that you're going to keep for your kids, but,
[speaker001:] 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.
[speaker002:] Yeah, exactly
[speaker001:] [Cough] And then
[speaker002:] it sounds exactly like what we did
[speaker001:] [Cough] and,
[speaker002:] we just saved everything we could
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] for our daughter but, uh
[speaker001:] 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,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] that I would like to have some ideas, you know
[speaker001:] Well, you sound like you,
[speaker002:] I get a lot of ideas from them.
[speaker001:] That's the thing, you sound like you have the facilities to do that.
[speaker002:] Yes, we do. We're out in the country
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] we're right across from a river, and uh, you're right, the leaves are beautiful, and they are falling now, so.
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] Uh, it just peaked, uh, last week, and it was just gorgeous out here, but.
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker001:] I agree,
[speaker002:] and,
[speaker001:] [Gasp].
[speaker002:] you know, it's, it's, it's fine, I'd rather almost have
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] I know that part, probably half their money comes from these people that are saying, uh, Put my ad in your paper
[speaker001:] Yeah, right.
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] Every page.
[speaker002:] other page,
[speaker001:] I do the same thing,
[speaker002:] some kind of ad,
[speaker001:] I, I think I opened VOGUE the other day or something
[speaker002:] Yeah, VOGUE is,
[speaker001:] and it was just nothing, uh-huh.
[speaker002:] heavily into that.
[speaker001:] And I thought, Why buy this?
[speaker002:] Yeah, exactly, it's almost
[speaker001:] You know, what's the point?
[speaker002:] I mean, you could go into a store and get bombarded
[speaker001:] That's right.
[speaker002:] the same way, but, uh.
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] Yeah, exactly.
[speaker001:] and very often, like, you know, in my bills, also, magazines and bills, and they'll,
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] come out just stinking [LAUGHTER], the whole thing.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER] Exactly, yeah, they're really getting into that so,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But pretty much like I 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
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] the magazine 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 a
[speaker001:] I understand.
[speaker002:] change.
[speaker001:] Well, do you, do you tear out of your magazines, your recipes or do you keep it?
[speaker002:] Uh, yes, I do, and sometimes, most of the time
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] I tear them out.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] 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:] Type it out, uh-huh.
[speaker002:] what I usually do is I'll try it out in the magazine first, and, without tearing it out, and then give it a,
[speaker001:] See how the family liked it [child talking].
[speaker002:] Yeah, and then if we like it it becomes part of the recipe collection, but, uh.
[speaker001:] Oh, that's a good idea. Well, I'm going to pay attention more when I'm in the store to that COUNTRY LIVING, I remember
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] seeing the cover. Back when I decorated the house with a lot of the little country, uh, primitive things, the little, the little pigs and the jeez, and the
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] ducks, and that, we had, that was the big rage here, couple of years ago. And I bought a lot of the country magazines
[speaker002:] Sure, sure.
[speaker001:] and then it seems like when I put some of that away, I quit buying it, but I had forgotten the recipes
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and I'm going to, I'll have to check that out,
[speaker002:] Yeah, it, it, that's what I, I just went through, uh
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] we just recently moved from Minnesota to Wisconsin.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] I went through all this, I had this huge stack of HOUSE BEAUTIFUL
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I had COLONIAL TIMES, I had GOURMET
[speaker001:] And you don't want to part with any of them because there's
[speaker002:] yeah.
[speaker001:] one thing in each one [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] It was hard, but I ended up, uh, reducing them down to like fifteen magazines out of, uh
[speaker001:] Oh, that's good.
[speaker002:] hundreds. And I just said, Okay, there's one picture in there that, it really doesn't, you know
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] it's got to have more than that
[speaker001:] right.
[speaker002:] it's got to have some good ideas
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] 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,
[speaker001:] I, I know,
