Ok, this is only a partial vent, cause I don't know where they are coming from but, lol, I am happy to get them as long as I don't get a bill for them!!!

I signed up a couple of years ago for some free magazines, and my subscribtion ended a few months ago (I was only getting Better Homes and Garden, Ladies Home Journal, and Jane---really don't care for Jane) anyway, about a month or so ago, I started to get those magazines again, PLUS I am getting Shape, Working Mother, Jane again(after a year or so dry spell), and PC World(I think a couple of others, but can't remember which ones.

Where are they coming from? Also, I had signed up for a free year of Real simple about 3 years ago when it first came out, and I still get it!!! I keep getting renewal notices, but I never renew, and they just keep sending them to me. Have I been blessed by the magazine fairy or what? lol

Just make sure they didn't sneak an automatic renewal on your credit card. They are good at that. If they didn't, then enjoy!

that is not a problem, lol. I don't have a Credit Card, Atm Card, or even a checking account. The one I used when I signed up was my Fatshoe, and they have been out of business for over a year(if not 2) now.

I'm getting all kinds of mags too... just found out I'll be getting CosmoGirl till 2008 I've come across so many free subscriptions! But that's pretty cool as long as you don't end up getting a bill.

I really don't think I signed up for it, since I can't imagine why I would have, but I've been getting YM for the past few months. My husband thinks it's funny, since I'm about ten years older than their target audience.

Magazine fairy... I like that :)

I'll trade you Jane for Light and Medium Trucks. I REALLY don't remember subscribing to that (its a freebie). They keep threatening that "this is your last issue" and I keep hoping but they keep coming. Someone make them stop :-)

Lol, my son would love the trucks one (he is 6 and into anything that is motorized, or has wheels, lol) Jane is ok, but I think it is a little young for me(either that or I am a stick in the mud at 32,lol, some of the stuff in there is soooooo shocking,lol)

I started getting Seventeen talk about feeling old (39) My step daughters are even to old and I cant take it to the girls that are in the high school because there is some stuff in there that a parent may get upset about.
