MagazineDealsNow has just about every magazine you could want. I have found everything from Better Homes and Garden, Car Driver to American Civil War, which I like. So far the only one I have found that they don't offer is Southern Living. All subscriptions that I have read are for a year, which at that price it's a killing. You can also renew your existing subscriptions through them.

Today, we're not debating. A nice letter for Brit's stalkers.

[b]I went to the United States post office today. I had my mail forwarded to the main office here in Hemet rather than having my mail forwarded to the in-laws house. "Why?" you may ask. Well, I subscribe to some rather...male-oriented magazines. No porn. No Playboy. No Playgirl. Nothing like that. Just the soft stuff...Maxim, FHM, Stuff, Rolling Stone. It would be quite the controversy if these items showed up in Diana's mom's mailbox with my name on them.

Ever have one of those moments?

Not the kind that are life altering or for all intents and purposes "special", but just memorable? One that stays with you long after the moment in question has long since passed? I had one last night...lend me your ear (or your eyes in this case.)

I was innocently sitting at my computer talking in instant message with a friend when I heard a knock on the front door downstairs. My sister was already down there, so her being the closest person to the door, answered it.

Okay ya'll, as several of you know, it's HOT on the EAST coast. I dont' remember it being this hot last year. Am I right? Was it? This past week we've had excessive heat warnings first thing in the morning until 8 p.m. WOW! At first when I heard this I thought, yeah right it won't be that hot. Haha, I was wrong.

We tried going to the beach on the first day of the heat advisory but we only stayed for about an hour, that was just too much heat. I even got burned, hubby got it worse though, but his will tan mine won't. :( Not to worry, kids somehow didn't burn.

I was at a major bookshop yesterday. Apart from the fact that the bookshop is situated in a large shopping complex, it was also Mother's Day. I was amazed at the sight of the crowded bookshop as it was quite unusual.
The customers were busy browsing through thousands of books on display. Although many copies were securedly wrapped to protect the covers, there were several copies for public reference.

For those of you who are interested in dog training, I'd like to recommend a few magazines. For agility trainers, there is nothing better than Clean Run magazine (Clean Run). Available in full color digital or glossy paper versions, Clean Run is the standard to which all other agility magazines should strive to reach. Each month's issue has tons of training exercises and practical information for instructors and exhibitors.

Yesterday, I came across these unbelievable deals on magazines! Let me give you a little background.

My daughter started a fan site for her favorite group. It's called B5faNsiTe and it has just found it's way to the first page on Google ( and several other search engines). We discussed putting some affiliate links on the blog that pertained to the content. Magazines were one of the products that we agreed on (since most of the readers are teens). That's when I came across these deals. *I am sharing this information for those people that like to subscribe to magazines because these are definitely rockbottom prices. I am not trying to get anyone to buy something they don't want. I am providing this information as a service for those that are interested in bargains/deals/sales.*

I wrote this a year ago, on seeing the 80th anniversary issue of this magazine. I haven't posted it anywhere before now.

*   *   *   *

An issue of The New Yorker

Open the cover and there is skin.

Page on full page, white lambs without blemish, variously cleaved, paired with the best – designer clothes, luxury cars, vintage wines. To the victors, indeed, go the spoils.
