I really dislike the "Business Reply Mail" cards in magazines. I was reading an article in this month's Reader's Digest and the cover slipped out of my hand and I lost my place. I was having trouble finding it again due to these stupid cards so I decided to rip them out. There were four! Then I got overzealous and decided to rip out every page that had a full page ad on both sides. It was 19 pages! On top of that, there were 22 other full page ads that had actual content on the other side. I didn't even bother counting smaller ads. So.. 19 pages with full page ads on both sides= 38 full page ads. Add the 22 to that and it is 60 FULL PAGES OF ADS! This isn't even counting partial page ads and the four "Business Reply Mail" cards! I think it would be best if these would only reach people who want to read them, so I have started my own publication which I call "Just the Ads". Let me know if you want to subscribe and I will send you a "Business Reply Mail" envelope! :)

There are anger management classes online now, if you're interested? Those make me mad too, especially when they are in things you already have a two year subcription to! I understand (only slightly) why they are in the mags on the news stands, but to send them to people that get their magazines every month doesn't make sense.
Your Pawpaw used to yank them out and toss them across the room!!
