Peave(s) of the Day
You read a magazine. You like the magazine. Then you subscribe to the magazine to save money and a trip to the store. Then said magazine arrives in your mailbox, not just one but two copies on the very same day. This months edition and last months edition. They back date your subscription to the month previous and get rid of some left over inventory by sending you the old magazine. Now if you had been reading the magazine which more than likely you had since you liked it and you subscribed, you most likely had purchases last month edition at the cover price and had already digested it. There you go, your 12 month subscription just became 11 months.
Part 2.
You currently subscribe to a magazine, which you like. They call you on the phone to see if you would like to renew since "your subscription is running out soon" and you say sure. No harm, no inflated price, no problem right?. Then you see your magazine and realize that your subscription runs out in November of 2006. Apparently to the magazine, soon is any time in the next 12 months. Based on that, I better mow my lawn soon.

Based on the typical short term memory of one BJG odds are you had forgotten that you had read the magazine in the first place.
liitle a - (although most people would refe rto me as a "Big A").
let it be understood that "little A" is by no means a title to be attributed to your son. And, as you won't be able to afford magazines anyway, maybe your company's demise is a blessing in disguise
There is no doubt to whoom "little a" should be attributed, the only thing is to consider if in fact it should be "wide A".
Good to see some comments again. I was getting a complex about my boring posts.
The way to avoid getting the previous months issue already read is to subscribe to a magazine that is published every other month. Hopefully their menory is not that long.
