[speaker001:] okay this subject is magazines what do you like and what do you dislike about magazines
[speaker002:] well I like them because I can read them at my convenience and I don't like a lot of the ads I get in them especially those stupid cards that fall out of them all the time
[speaker001:] that's my main complaint on magazines too and I get magazines some of them are just pictures and advertisements uh Life magazine is like that I quit subscribing to that it's just uh magazine I mean pictures and um advertisements what is your favorite magazine
[speaker002:] oh I like the magazines like uh the home remodeling magazines like Home or Decorating and Remodeling things like that because you can see what other people are doing with their houses and maybe you could do it in yours
[speaker001:] um-hum you like to do remodeling in your home
[speaker002:] yeah we've learned how to do a lot of things on our own
[speaker001:] for instance what are you doing now anything in particular
[speaker002:] uh no not right now um I haven't gotten any magazines that have shown me anything lately what other kind of magazines do you like
[speaker001:] well I like Reader's Digest we get that and my husband subscribes to Scientific American I think he's a frustrated doctor because he uh reads constantly we have a person in our area that uh his little girl was diagnosed as as terminal and uh he came across an article about leukemia so he had me fix up the make copies of it and give it to them and tell them that there's hope for her and all this
[speaker002:] hm how many different kinds of magazines do you subscribe to
[speaker001:] well right now I I dropped People but we have uh Better Homes and Gardens Scientific American and um uh what's the other one I think it's Ladies' Home Journal or Redbook something like that
[speaker002:] I used to get People but it cost too much so I had to quit taking it
[speaker001:] did you enjoy it
[speaker002:] uh sometimes they'd have good articles but a lot of it was kind of uh a lot of fluff and not a lot of substance and it and it like I said it cost a lot of money because I think they came every week or something like that so it was a lot higher than the monthly magazines
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] my husband likes to read sports and fishing magazines all the time that's pretty boring to me
[speaker001:] do you get those as subscriptions
[speaker002:] oh he gets one to uh fishes hm what's it called Stream Field and Stream that's what he gets
[speaker001:] hm
[speaker002:] but that's the only one but he'd get more if he could
[speaker001:] when my husband was younger he liked Outdoor Life he thought that was a pretty good magazine
[speaker002:] I don't think I've ever seen that one I don't know if they still do it or not
[speaker001:] I don't know my it might not be because it's been a while
[speaker002:] you know what I really hate about magazines is those smelly cards that have perfume or cologne
[speaker001:] what's that with the scratch and sniffs
[speaker002:] the well the ones aren't they're not scratch and sniff anymore the the one kind I'm talking about you open it up and the fragrance is just there it's like a fold that's glued shut but usually
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] when you get the magazine the whole magazine smells like that fragrance and you can't get the smell out and it and sometimes it makes you have a headache because it's so strong
[speaker001:] what magazines are those I don't know if I've ever seen one in mine or not
[speaker002:] well they came in People and a lot of times if you buy like the fashion magazines the Cosmopolitan or the Glamour or or Elle those type have have them in
[speaker001:] oh I don't get those
[speaker002:] I don't get them on a regular basis but sometimes I've bought them
[speaker001:] hm do you have any pet uh magazines
[speaker002:] no we we have two dogs but no magazines come in uh regarding pets at all
[speaker001:] do you like the Reader's Digest when the in their uh theirs they're kind of interesting they have the uh
[speaker002:] I like Reader's Digest but I usually borrow my parents' of that because they get it so I didn't have to subscribe
[speaker001:] oh oh so you get away easy huh
[speaker002:] yeah well a little bit but I like the they're interesting and plus I like to read through the in the anecdotes and the jokes and things on those sometimes the book excerpts are good too but mostly I like the other articles
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and I like the vocabulary section in that
[speaker001:] yeah I like that too sometimes you can get a pretty good uh
[speaker002:] and sometimes the real definition is something totally of opposite of what you thought it was
[speaker001:] yeah doesn't that blow your mind away when that happens that's something and
[speaker002:] sometimes I like the true to life stories but sometimes they get too melodramatic
[speaker001:] like what do you mean
[speaker002:] it seems
