[speaker001:] so what magazines do you subscribe to
[speaker002:] uh the only one I subscribe to well I did subscribe to two I subscribe to INC at the office
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and then I get Cosmopolitan at home
[speaker001:] oh that's kind of fun
[speaker002:] yeah it gives me a little variety anyway
[speaker001:] yeah well that's fun that's kind of fun well we have like every magazine in the world my dad is kind of a chronic magazine subscriber he gets uh
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] oh gosh Bird Watcher Digest and I mean just almost anything any interest he ever has for like a week he will subscribe to the magazine of it
[speaker002:] wow
[speaker001:] so we have got every magazine that that there is and then I get uh New Yorker because I like the the literature in it and um
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh uh I read Newsweek and US News
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I like Newsweek
[speaker002:] yeah they are always real interesting I remember even in high school that was one of our assignments to read Newsweek and I kind of got hooked on it then and then um through college then I kind of had too many other things going on
[speaker001:] oh yeah yeah I understand when I first got in college my dad set up subscriptions for all these magazines because he could get them at the student cheap rate that we had
[speaker002:] oh wow
[speaker001:] tons of magazines
[speaker002:] that's neat well do you spend a lot of time reading them or do you just pick out what you want
[speaker001:] I pick pick out what I want usually
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] read uh read those cartoons in the New Yorker read the little synopsis find out who died in Newsweek and look at like celebrity pictures and I'm not
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] the best informed person I guess but uh you know if there is a news name that you don't know you can flip through the Newsweek and try to find who it is
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] that is a little bit helpful but
[speaker002:] oh that's neat well um I read the INC magazine mainly for my company my company it's not my company personally obviously but uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] we have been selected as INC's top five hundred for the last two years yeah so it's really it's exciting to see your name in print and they do um
[speaker001:] oh that's great yeah
[speaker002:] the other things that I read are kind of they are all computer related because that's what my company is about but um
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] they are not really magazines they are periodicals but I do not know if they would really qualify as magazines I guess so because they have advertising and news print so
[speaker001:] right are they like PC World or beyond that
[speaker002:] yeah that stuff and Mainframe Journal and Computer World all that boring stuff but it's stuff you got to keep up with or else you you start falling behind
[speaker001:] right I know yeah that sounds good
[speaker002:] and then yeah it's real funny because my husband um gives me trouble still about getting Cosmopolitan and because that's mainly or not mainly but I think he thinks as it
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] as more of a single girl's magazine type of thing and I am like well I am going to get this until I start getting like uh Better Homes and Gardens
[speaker001:] really until you start getting those old magazines that
[speaker002:] yeah I can't see that
[speaker001:] Retirement Digest
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so I said that I'll keep subscribing to a magazine until I started wanting to get Reader's Digest and then at that point if you just cut it off
[speaker002:] yeah that and Parenthood and
[speaker001:] really Golf Digest it's
[speaker002:] yeah really
[speaker001:] these are the bad signs
[speaker002:] I can't see any of those
[speaker001:] so I don't know where I don't what we do with all our magazines we probably
[speaker002:] you recycle them
[speaker001:] cut down all all well we do we take them to the library and they sell them there you can not recycle the shiny paper of the magazine
[speaker002:] oh really yeah yeah
[speaker001:] so we recycle everything but the paper of the magazines go back to the library and they resell them which I can't imagine who would want like back issue of Newsweek but
[speaker002:] well
[speaker001:] I guess maybe there are people in the world
[speaker002:] all those people doing all that research
[speaker001:] that's right people can get them and have their children do craft projects cut the pictures out and
[speaker002:] well when I I was doing some research for a product I was doing at the office and I went to the library and read the magazines on the microfiche which was really pretty neat
[speaker001:] oh which is bad I don't like those microfiche I I we had this last year of school I had my last paper of college and I am writing this paper on Bette Midler I was decided I was not going to be very academic finally and uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but you had to look through all these old periodicals and use microfiche and I just got seasick the little things zipping by your face so it was
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] I just thought I was going to throw up right there in the library it was not a good day
[speaker002:] well
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] I guess I went slow enough that it did not make me nauseous
[speaker001:] yeah well they have like the the automated machines now you just press the button and the
[speaker002:] oh and it zooms
[speaker001:] words just go zipping by and
[speaker002:] oh yeah I do not think I could do with that
[speaker001:] it it's bad uh
[speaker002:] but it was really neat cause I was doing this this project I had to read American Demographics which you know I had never even knew that magazine existed but it had some really neat stuff in it
[speaker001:] right yeah that's um we did a lot of demographic stuff at school
[speaker002:] huh I was amazed I did not know that kind of magazine was even out there
[speaker001:] I know it's something you never thought you would care about there is perhaps a magazine for every interest in the world
[speaker002:] yeah cause even like in the grocery store you know I do not ever go over and look at the magazines but I was getting some pictures developed at the grocery store and it was taking longer so I was hanging out over there and I was amazed at the different kinds
[speaker001:] um-hum  yeah there is it's a lot out there we have Modern Maturity that was the worse mom and dad dad turned fifty so we got Modern Maturity like this is not good it has all these like health tips and ways to fix prunes and
[speaker002:] oh really oh God
[speaker001:] what a good magazine
[speaker002:] oh that would be awful
[speaker001:] so yeah and so we are
[speaker002:] I do not know what my parents get I think uh my dad is retired Army so I know that they get something along those lines
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] but uh and he is real big into genealogy but I don't know if there is any genealogy magazines
[speaker001:] oh no doubt there is I am sure I'm sure of it
[speaker002:] really yeah well that is probably true I had not thought about that
[speaker001:] their's I never knew all the specific things they had in magazines
[speaker002:] yeah they are fun though I mean at least it kills time while you are at the doctor's office
[speaker001:] I know really all the try do the word find in Highlight magazine
[speaker002:] oh yeah I was real surprised though my doctor carries tons of magazines I mean he has like Tennis World and I mean stuff that normally I mean a doctor's usually have US News or World Report and People magazine and that is about it
[speaker001:] right my doctors have the worst magazines I
[speaker002:] really
[speaker001:] have to change doctors but then I might need to get that
[speaker002:] you want my doctor's name well I mean if you get that many at home you probably would not want them
[speaker001:] I know um we're not at any loss for reading material here you you pretty much you can read like the table of contents before the next one comes and then
[speaker002:] yeah I bet you are you're
[speaker001:] that there is like a big pile these are the magazines we are going to read sometime and so it's
[speaker002:] yeah your mailman is probably not real happy with y'all huh
[speaker001:] no I uh no get we have the jumbo truck that comes by our house to drop off the mail
[speaker002:] oh wow
[speaker001:] it's a mess but that's okay we keep the publishers magazine publishers in business
[speaker002:] yeah really
[speaker001:] in the midst of the recession we're supporting America's publishing economy
[speaker002:] yeah well that's what a friend of mine um was getting the Wall Street Journal and she wasn't taking the time to read it so she just had this huge pile and we were like what are you doing saving up for a puppy
[speaker001:] um-hum really line a bunch of bird cages
[speaker002:] yeah really
[speaker001:] with that okay well I guess that's about all on magazines nice talking with you have a good evening sorry to interrupt your dinner bye
[speaker002:] well okay well you too thanks you too that's fine bye-bye
