Country Women Magazine

I have subscribed to Country Woman magazine for years. The magazine arrives bimonthly cover in protective plastic. Besides the magazine there are ads, requests to renew the subscription and sometimes a letter. I usually just pitch the extras with the plastic but yesterday I took the time to skim the letter:





I was outraged when I saw the third paragraph. Really, because they think they did a good job they are counting it as two issues! The magazine is only published bimonthly so that is taking away one-sixth of a subscription. I did call today and canceled my subscription! I have subscribed the many of the magazines in that group...Taste of Home, Healthy Cooking, etc. I wonder how many issues I lost because I didn't read the letters that came with the magazines.

That is fantastic! Tomorrow at the end of the day I am going to let my bosses know that since I did such an extra-good job, it will be counting as two days of work.

Went to the site to read about Rachael Ray. I got a couple of issues of her magazine when one of my other mags went out of business. It was hysterical. Liked the comments about Giada too. Still laughing.
