Do you have many magazine subscriptions? We have a few. Every month we get: Good Housekeeping, Glamour, Blender, Game Informer, Stuff and FHM. Some are mine and some are my boyfriends. lol...it's pretty easy to tell which ones. I do like reading his magazines sometimes, though. The articles aren't THAT bad. lol.

Come to think of it, I mainly subscribe to food "magazines", like Bon Appetit, Gourmet, and Cooks Illustrated.
I get Good Housekeeping as well.
I should subscribe to Cosmopolitan because I buy it every month at the store. Hmm.

Cosmo is a good one, too. I used to get that one, but I had way too many subscriptions, so I got rid of some of them. Cosmo was one. I chose Glamour over it. But my best friend gets Cosmo, so sometimes I read hers.

I usually prefer Cosmo over Glamour I think, but the thing is, at least in Cosmo, it's sort of like every issue is the same all over again. Apparently it doesn't bother me too much though, cause I keep buying =)

Countryside, PC Magazine, Computer shopper, Gamepro, Electronic House, Mother Earth News, Everyday Food, Taste of Home and some others. Martha Stewart living is at my library and I can read it there! Used to get more magazines, however, I had to let some go due to money crunch. Now most of those I can read at the library too!

Yeah, me, too. I used to get tons and tons of magazines...the mailman was probably getting a workout. lol. But, when it came time to re-sub, I didn't with many of them to save money and clutter! We were throwing away piles and piles of magazines every month. lol.

I receive Consumer Reports in the mail as well as this mens magazine called Maxim, which I had never heard of before and never subscribed to. I must have won it in a contest or something. I also get Mens Health as well. Those are the only ones that I am currently receiving.

I started recieving Good Housekeeping out of nowhere. I'd heard of it before, but never even bought it. Also, about 3 years ago I started getting Blender out of nowhere and then I just kept re-subscribing after my year was up. I don't know if I'll do that with GH. It doesn't really seem like that great of a magazine. There are better ones that I would rather spend my money on.

For all the reading that i like doing I don't subscribe to any magazines. WhenI'm in the mood for one I just pick one up at the counter. Mostly interior decorating mags. i pick one up ever couple of months.

I'm only 17 so my mom subscribed to them for me but I get O the Oprah Magazine and I also get Cosmo Girl. I really like the 0prah magazine because the articles are down to earth and can actually relate to real life rather than just hair and makeup and fashion and stuff. I soon also will be getting seventeen magazine because I just bought a bedspread made by them, and you get a free magazine subscription for that. So I'm pretty excited!

I used to get Seventeen...that's cool that you get it for free! Can't beat that. lol. I haven't ever read the Oprah Magazine. I really never knew what it was all about, but maybe I'll check it out next time I am at the store. I get sick of reading '10 Fall Fashions' and stuff like that. lol.

I don't have any. My wife receives probably 20 subscriptions each month.
