[speaker002:] okay you ready
[speaker001:] yeah is that it okay um well we I guess we have to talk about magazines and um what what
[speaker002:] that's it what what kind do you subscribe to or do you
[speaker001:] well I subscribe to People well I did subscribe to People for a long time I do you know I enjoy People and now I'm um I uh subscribe to uh Ladies Ladies Home Journal
[speaker002:] I uh take a computer magazine
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh also uh Better Homes And Garden
[speaker001:] okay are you interested in in computers
[speaker002:] and my pet peeve with magazines is all the little cards inside and the cardboard pages
[speaker001:] yeah  uh-huh yeah well that that would be one of my peeves my pet peeves with magazines uh the woman's magazines especially I mean it it's really geared to your all they have is you have too many recipes first of all I just don't you know that's what I don't like about um Ladies Home Journal magazines too many recipes too many um can this marriage be saved nonsense I you know I like to read articles about things that matter well of course People magazine is not you know one of your uh
[speaker002:] no
[speaker001:] your more intellectual magazines but it's nice light reading you know if I want something intellectual I usually read a book
[speaker002:] well that's true I uh I like it when they have short stories like Redbook used to always have a good short story in it
[speaker001:] well that's true yeah they did
[speaker002:] and I I haven't bought a Redbook in a while so I guess I I really very rarely ever pick up a magazine anymore
[speaker001:] yeah well is Redbook still in existence I didn't know if they were if they were around anymore
[speaker002:] well uh I think it is surely it's an institution surely it would have to be
[speaker001:] yeah well I'll tell you the only reason I bought the uh I subscribe to the Journal is because of
[speaker002:] but uh
[speaker001:] which I think it was either yeah it was Publisher's Clearinghouse they they told me you know if I didn't subscribe they were gonna take me off their their winning you know their list so
[speaker002:] right I know and it was serious mine too I wasn't this was it my last chance
[speaker001:] yeah my last right right my last chance to win ten million dollars so I figured hey look for twelve dollars you know
[speaker002:] well I I uh I went ahead and sent in my subscription because of that uh to uh Entertainment
[speaker001:] that's it oh yeah oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] and I was real disappointed with it
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I I don't know it just not enough stories with some substance that you can really get into it's just little short articles more than anything else
[speaker001:] right uh-huh
[speaker002:] and that's one thing I don't like about People uh it's just you know doesn't seem to have enough story to it
[speaker001:] well I don't know I just think uh you know it's it's light reading you know you don't have to excuse well you don't have to concentrate you know you know it's entertaining you know and uh
[speaker002:] if you've only got a short time to read no that's true
[speaker001:] that's I just I enjoy it I you know I um well that Entertainment is is very wasn't that similar to or isn't it similar to to the TV Guide
[speaker002:] uh no not really I mean uh not the one I take now it's a it's a magazine and it goes into all the movies previewing the movies
[speaker001:] oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] that are going to be released or it's behind the scenes
[speaker001:] oh I see
[speaker002:] and uh I'm a real movie buff so that's why I thought I might be interested in it but it just hasn't been what I thought it would be
[speaker001:] no
[speaker002:] and uh my mother has subscribed too the reason I get uh the
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] Home Journal and and the uh computer book is because mother got a subscription for it and sent it to me
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] otherwise if if I really want to take the time to read a magazine and I see one on the grocery shelf I'll pick it up then
[speaker001:] right right
[speaker002:] rather than to have them delivered and think oh I really need to read this
[speaker001:] well well I'll tell you since I've been getting the Journal like maybe maybe I'll read two maybe three if I read three articles in in you know one of the the Journals I figure you know I did really well
[speaker002:] yeah it paid for itself
[speaker001:] because there's just nothing in there that interests me I don't you know I don't I'm not into recipes you know recipes and you know
[speaker002:] well I I do like recipe and crafts
[speaker001:] see now and I'm not into crafts so so you know that that eliminates like three quarters of the magazine you know well
[speaker002:] well that's true
[speaker001:] I just got the new issue they have Bette Midler on the cover so that should be one article that I'll read anyway
[speaker002:] do you uh ever
