The high point of my day is eating lunch or taking in the mail. Some days it’s a toss-up. It depends on what I find in the mailbox. I have learned that you have to look at all mail very carefully, what appears to be junk mail might not be junk mail. I know this certain company designed this piece of mail to look like junk mail so it would not be read but I have learned my lesson. On the front of the mail it says
“Here is something to remember about your magazine service.” Then there were four points about magazines and the last two points: always recycle your magazines and then the most important point was “subscriber information on reverse.” So I turn it over and the print is really tiny. After they thanked me for being a valued customer they informed me that two magazines (Essence and In Style) will keep coming to my house and I will be billed for $46 dollars for each unless I make a phone call by May14. I admit the subscription price is less than the newsstand price but that is almost $100 and I don’t feel like spending that right now. So I will make that phone call prior to the deadline.
I actually love both magazines however since Essence is no longer Black owned, it will be chopped along with In Style. Unfortunately Essence no longer moves me. The format seems to be different and the stories lack substance. So if I want to pick up one I will buy it from time to time at the drugstore.
