People, I am sorry, because I know that to some of you this is crazy because it is wasteful, but I am not redirecting the magazine or taking the magazine or hauling the magazine anywhere except my very own recycling bin, and only that for a short time until the subscription is stopped. I went online and canceled the subscription already, so there will be at most one or two more magazines coming to my door.

**gonzomax** , read the thread. You have posted twice now to say basically the same thing, and I will ask you again what I have posted here that indicates I plan to contradict your advice. 🙂

My mom is definitely in the category of people who will try something like this very occasionally but not make a habit of it, and we generally have a good relationship, so I don’t feel the need to be confrontational about this. I mean, yes, I have my little revenge fantasies of sending her some wildly inappropriate magazine (what IS “Blue Boy”, anyway?) but I’m not actually going to do that.

(_America_ really is a good magazine, though.)

Redirect it to an old people’s home or a local library.

And no Scientoløgy subscriptions, even as a joke! You don’t want them getting your personal info. It will never end.

ETA Or don’t!
