They're History

Right now...at my disposal...I have 40 magazines that I refuse to throw away. They are a mix of Cosmos, Glamours, Marie Claires, Allures, and the occasional InStyle or Rolling Stone...I do not include tabloids in my collection (even though I do occasionally buy them). And these are just the tip of the iceberg...at home, my Dad is allowing me to store FOUR 30-gallon Rubbermaid tote containers filled with even more magazines. For your viewing pleasure, I have taken the liberty of including a picture example of the size - not the brand (it's a Sterilite).

**Disclaimer: Don't let them fool you...they hold a lotta mags.


Why do I have so many magazines??...I guess I just feel that they are a part of history, showing styles and trends of that year...showing the popular music, movies, clothing, celebs, sexual concerns, relationship advice, etc. I consider them almost like yearbooks or Almanacs of subjects that I find interesting.

People may call me crazy, and may say that I'll never look at them again (Kimber) or that it's stupid to take up so much room with junk (my father)...but I bet they'll be glad I have them when either they have a question and I can use these mags as a reference...or if we are forced into survival mode and need kindling...or dishes. :)

I will be impressed when you actually learn how to make china and flatwear, until then you are CRAZY!

I want to learn to make a dish... that's cool. And Mindy, I commend you on your staying true to the cause of not letting fashion sytles be forgotten. Even though I think the publishers keep a copy of all the ones and they are readily accessible online... but anyway... I'm proud of you :)
