[speaker001:] Okay, do you subscribe to magazines yourself?
[speaker002:] I don't, uh, subscribe to any magazines at home, because we get so many at work that, uh, I need to read that, uh, I just don't take any at home.
[speaker001:] Oh, I see. I get, uh, MCCALL'S. Of course, anything that appeals to the homemaker since that's my main line of interest.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And then once in a while I'll pick up a WORKING WOMAN or something and
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] realize why I don't want to re-, go back to work [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] What I enjoy about staying home.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] And, uh, I read magazines mainly because they're fast and if I want to relax while I watch T V, [beep] of course, I'm one of those that does two things at once, and, uh, I read GOOD HOUSEKEEPING and BETTER HOMES and MCCALL'S. And I like them because they're kind of short and to the subject.
[speaker002:] Right. I u-, I used to take MCCALL'S and GOOD HOUSEKEEPING and, uh, several magazines like that a few years ago at, at, at home.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. And then you stopped them all.
[speaker002:] But, yeah, the subscriptions ran out and I never renewed them. And I found that I really didn't have time at home since I work, to read them.
[speaker001:] I find that, uh, about two years is probably my max
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] on subscribing to one in particular and then I kind of get turned off by it.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Other than GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING is the one that kind of sets around for when, uh, when I'm really have time and I really want to read something, you know.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I don't get into books too often because I have so many things that I stay occupied with
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] uh, on a general basis, and we travel a lot so I enjoy reading parts on travel in the various
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, different ones.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] And I get into, uh, newspapers, so I guess that kind of tells you what kind of person I am. I'm, re-, read it fast and put it down [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Right. Uh-huh. When, when I had my magazines at home, I would find that I kind of skimmed through them and looked at the pictures, you know, and
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] if something caught my eye, then I might read something, but otherwise than that, you know, they were, [breathing] uh, you know, not too useful to me. You know
[speaker001:] Well,
[speaker002:] I got some good recipes from them sometimes, but [LAUGHTER],
[speaker001:] That's what I do. You clip recipes and you save them forever and you never really
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] use them.
[speaker002:] That's right, that's right.
[speaker001:] And then every so often you weed through them and you think, where did I ever put that recipe.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] But, uh, that's mainly my, uh, whole idea on
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] you know, short subject, uh, reading and things like this. I, I subscribe, like I said, to a few and once in a while I buy that new magazine called FIRST on the newsstands
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] or something like that. But I kind of stay with my own subject matter what, uh, pertains to my daily life
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] at the present time.
[speaker002:] [Throat clearing] Well, since I work with computers during my work, I have to keep up on all the new computer equipment and software and everything. And I have to read the magazines, you know, such as BYTE, and COMPUTER WORLD and MAC WORLD and all of these, [breathing], uh, magazines such as that, so I really, [breathing] you know, just, [pause] I can see that it will be a very long time, probably, before I subscribe to any magazines at home.
[speaker001:] Right. Well, sometimes, if, you know, if you're in transportation, in public transportation
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I know that people will read them on something like that.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] But I think, and the idea is to, is and good, I can just dump them at the other end [LAUGHTER], and I don't have to carry them back with me.
[speaker002:] That's right.
[speaker001:] I do that when we travel. I always have my head with a magazine somewhere as we
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] drive or wherever we, no matter what it is, air travel or anything and I,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. Right. If I, if I go on an airplane ride or something, I'll stop in and pick up a, you know, a COSMOPOLITAN or something
[speaker001:] Right, al-, although now,
[speaker002:] to read on the airplane. But, uh, you know, that's basically just about [breathing], I'll buy a crossword puzzle magazine every now and then [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] That's when you really have time. Now see your computer ones, I got into computer work somewhat, uh, we have our own computer system at home
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and I tried, uh, reading the magazines hoping I would get more from it and it was just above my head without having someone there to give me the advice as I went along.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] It was, you know, kind of a little bit more than what I needed, so I never did get into them. I [breathing], when I bought the computer, all of a sudden I was receiving them, for some unknown reason, through the mail. I think they all that-, thought, well, we have a live one [LAUGHTER]. She'll subscribe [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] But they were wrong. I never got into them. But, but,
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] Okay? All right, I guess we might as well end our conversation at this point.
[speaker002:] Okay.
[speaker001:] It was nice talking with you.
[speaker002:] It was nice to talk with you, too.
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] Thank you.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh. Bye, now.
[speaker002:] Bye-bye.
