reads all of our magazines before they reach us? It would be like having a million subscriptions without every paying. “Hey, that article looks interesting…” Interlachen, Florida |

You know, I’ve often thought about that. I think my mail carrier reads some of my magazines and a couple of catalogs I used to get. Occassionally, they have that thumbed-through look when I get them. Well, sometimes I don’t even receive them when I’m supposed to. Not saying the carrier necessarily stole them (could’ve been someone else or delivered to wrong house), just had to get it off my chest because I was really looking forward to my issue of Today’s Diet and Nutrition that I never got! |

I dunno, my husband is a rural mail carrier. I could never imagine him casually flipping through magazines at work. He is always in a HUGE hurry to deliver the mail and finish his route so he can go home, lol. He often complains about the retired folk who just love to wait at the mailbox so they can chat with the mailman about the weather. Of course, it doesn’t help that he doesn’t love his job…he’s just paying the bills while he finishes his degree ; P |

I once received a magazine with a sudoku puzzle filled out. True story. I wasn’t mad, I was impressed. It was one of those “evil” level puzzles, and I suck at sudoku as it is. BISCAYNE PARK, FL |

As I was typing my previous response, I started to wonder if anyone here worked as a postal carrier or knew someone who did…and how many people I’d just pissed off with my comments. Oops! That came off sounding kinda crappy. At least I hope your husband won’t read them while he’s driving, ha ha! Orlando, that is too funny. I have a confession to make…I’ve never actually done a Sudoku puzzle yet. Yes, I live in a cave. |

Man, I HATE sudoku puzzles! They drive me nuts because I can’t put it down and feel satisfied until it’s completely finished. PURE EVIL!!!! Interlachen, Florida |

I’m addicted to Sudoku. I have tons of books, the app on my phone, websites that I frequent that have them, and a subscription to Dell puzzle mag in which the sudokus are all done right away. they are, of course, followed immediately by the logic problems addicted… seems i have an addicted personality.

For each 3×3 square (that is usually outlined in bold) you have to place the numbers 1-9 without repeating. For each row across the entire puzzle, you place 1-9 without repeating. For each column, you do the same. Interlachen, Florida |

Errr, sorry. I don’t think I can explain it any other way! Maybe someone else is better at it? Interlachen, Florida |

I’ve heard about how Sodoku is played, I’ve just never come across a chance to try a puzzle. I think I probably had a book of puzzles in my hand in the store at one time, years ago, glanced at the cover briefly, saw something else, put the puzzle back… I guess I’m very easily distract…oooh shiny! Well, okay, not really (or at least not always). Actually, I think it was on one of the vacations I’d gone on with my family and was being rushed out of the store. I’m picturing Jenny’s head exploding after you just explained that Rebecca, lol! ;) |

About the topic of this thread, I got one of my mags in the mail yesterday (Entertainment Weekly) and there was a placeholder on an article, RIPPED RIGHT OFF OF MY COVER! Land O Lakes, FL |

Either I’m still asleep or I have lost my ability to comprehend the English language… What did you just tell us, Ambyr? I keep re-reading your post and are you saying that someone ripped part of the cover off and stuck it inside the magazine? That’s so wrong and hilarious. All my mail carrier does is consistently mis-deliver my paychecks to the neighbors in the building next door who hate me. They usually bring them over and stick them in my door a week later. She has NO problem dragging big boxes of crap to my door, but a little #10 envelope is just too challenging for her i guess. LOL Lomita (near Los Angeles), CA |

Yep, that’s what I’m telling you :) Someone tore off a piece (and not a small piece) of my mag cover and put in in the pages! Land O Lakes, FL |
