And of course the titles on the cover are all same-y too:
"[whatever] after 40"
"lose # pounds] in [# weeks]"
"Breakthrough [whatever]"
Sheesh! If this magazine weren't packed with such great articles, I'd scrap it. But I even have prepped some of the recipes.
Check out The Daily Bear. This is another blog devoted just to a photo-of-the-day thing for our pound puppy. I would have just added a page to this site, but apparently you can't do that in blogger. So there is a link there on the right you can check. The thumbnail of him will stay the same, but you should see a new photo there every day. Or at least often. I'm trying to shoot him every day to chronicle his changes, but also to work on my photography skills...portrait shooting, speed shooting, etc. There will probably not be a writing every day there, more likely just a shot and title.

I like your observation about the magazine cover absurdity, as well as your near decision to cancel because of the insult it presupposes. I can relate....
When searching for a kayak to purchase, I instantly disqualified any boat made by Venture Kayaks or their parent company P&H because of a magazine ad they had. It included a trite expression as its main point, an intentional misspelling, really cheesy graphics, two wrongly punctuated excuses-of-sentences, a run-on fragment that ended in a question mark even though it was not a question, AND the word "its" (no apostrophe) used to convey the meaning "it is".
Maybe I'm picky, but I didn't want to be associated with a company who endorsed such disrespect for the language on a nationally published level.
Okay, I feel better, now.
We have a new deli in Indian Land. Sammy's Deli. I'm going to write a new business story for the Gateway about them. I like Sammy, I like his staff.
But alas...his menu says "RELAX...your at Sammy's!"
