Having moved as many times as we've been married, it had been incumbent upon me to cull significant articles from all these subscriptions.

I bought 3-ring D-binders and sheet protectors to save these articles. Of course, these are tomes, but they are my personal resource library for all things life.

There have been numerous times I've saved trips to the library, but now, Googling info has been my "go to" resource of choice.

We've been proactive in the downsizing pursuit of our belongings. Guess these tomes will be on their way out.

In a way, it's like the parting of good friends.

There are only so many hours in our consciousness... only so many things to read, do, etc. After my subscriptions end, no more rags. All my fave mags pretty much use the web now. Forgot to mention that I used to subscribe to JPG magazine (last year). Good quality photos.
