Doesn't that mean you'll end up with a huge stash of mags? I've often wished they came in CD format... less storage space required.

Yes it does - 3 of my drawers have been taken up by them.

At what age or how many years have you been reading your favourite mags?
For me, I started reading RTV Times (what's now called 8 Days) back when I was 12. I know cause I still have recipe clippings from that publication!!
At 13, it was the UK version of Woman's Day and Home & Decor. And mom's Female and Her World which back in those days, had recipes and housekeeping articles too and wasn't all about sex sex sex, men men men, shopping shopping shopping.
Then, at 16, bought my very first Red Book from the US with my very first 'corporate salary' earned from a temp job with Citibank.
Long, long history of reading. -
Me too! I started off with RTV Times when I was about 10, then progressed to Cleo & Dolly (Australian magazine) into my teens & twenties. Oh, and the occasional Her World magazine which my mum used to buy! Also used to read alot of magazines while waiting for my mum at the hair salon (which was on a road named 'Jalan Malu Malu'Originally posted by Rhonda:At what age or how many years have you been reading your favourite mags?

was rummaging throught some stuff the other day and uncovered a 10-year old Rolling Stone with Axl Rose on the cover...
time flies...
many years down the road, Slash and a couple of his bandmates are in Velvet Revolver, with Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots, making great music together..
who would have thought?
when reading that Rolling Stone mag 10 years ago, you thought that Gn'R would take over the world and self-destruct... and they did... only thing is, you expected the members go down the death spiral of excess... but they did well
ahhh... sometimes, it's great being a packrat -
I collected 'Dinosaurs' when I was 7. A few years later that became 'Bugs'. Each issue came with a piece of plastic and all the pieces have to be assembled to create a dinosaur or spider toy.
I started reading Highway and DRIVE in 1996 as well as Torque (then called Torque Class), Motoring and CAR S'pore. I also bought Lau Fu Zhi regularly for a while. -
You're way ahead of me, Bear... I only got to admire Guns N Roses a few years back. And that was because a close friend of mine exposed me to their music.Originally posted by the Bear:was rummaging throught some stuff the other day and uncovered a 10-year old Rolling Stone with Axl Rose on the cover...

ahhh... sometimes, it's great being a packrat Odd... when I was younger, I shied away from 'loud' music but now, they have their firm place in my life, especially for those periods when I'm 'in the mood'! hehe!
And oh... you, Bear, have also introduced me to some pretty kewl groups. Grrrreat taste in music you have! You're kewl! (But NOT when you label some of MY favourite genres as 'elevator music'! Bleah!)
And yup... 'tis great being a packrat! hehehe!! -

Aaaahhh... I remember 'Dinosaurs' and 'Bugs' although I didn't purchase them myself.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:I collected 'Dinosaurs' when I was 7. A few years later that became 'Bugs'.

I have the complete collection of the handicrafts version, and part of the Cooking Light collection, and then the complete collection of a medical series.
It was tedious making sure you got every weekly issue but it sure paid off! -
