Only Martha.
Recently I had to cancel my subscription to Martha Stewart Living because they wanted something like $30.00 to renew. Outrageous!!
If I really need to feel inferior for my household and culinary skills all I have to do is open the front door and allow the entire neighborhood to view my hoard and smell the jumbo Stouffer's frozen entree gently simmering in the microwave. All for free, absolutely no charge whatsoever. Take that Martha Stewart Omnimedia Mega Corporation Conglomerate!!
Ho, hum I really miss Martha though.............
Imagine my surprise and delight when an invitation from Martha herself arrived offering a one year subscription for me and a friend for only $15.00! Wow, just by playing hard to get I now am able to get 24 issues for $15.00 instead of the original 12 issues for $30.00. Who could say no to such savings? Not me, that's for sure. I have the need for debasement just the same as any other homemaker, I just need it at a reduced price.
My slick, Super Christmas issue will arrive any day now. Yessss!
Note: yes all you grounded home economists out there I do realize that 3/4 of the magazine is advertising so they should actually pay me to read it, but whatcha gonna do? It's a free market out there.*
* free excludes tax, surcharge, and assorted dubious fees
I probably should get Martha's magazine... maybe it would inspire me to quit reading blogs and do something in my home... wait... does Martha have a blog??
ReplyDeleteCan I be your friend that gets the other discount???
ReplyDeletePlease please please!!
I promise I'll make one or two of the recipes that are in there. Maybe one crafty thing too... maybe.
ReplyDeleteDoes she show you how to make a mashed potatoes without potatoes???
ReplyDeleteWELL?
ReplyDeleteI just look at the pics I don't usually try anything out
ReplyDeleteThis is the woman who doesn't have a recipe for Green Bean Casserole, right? You're wasting your money. I should hold out for a free plate, if I were you.
ReplyDeleteI haven't paid much attention to Martha for the same reason you mention...I'm never going to put that much effort into anything I do. If I can't cook it in 40 minutes, I'm not cooking it. If I have to make it myself, it's not going to happen. But $15 for 24 issues--you scored!
ReplyDeleteI too am a Martha fan, but won't pay the price for her mags because it has way too much advertising for my taste. Hubs says he hates her, 'cause she can do everything - even "man" stuff. I wonder if she is secretly a man?
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, thanks for the comment about the turkey pic. I wanted to post it with a comment on your Wordless Wednesday, but couldn't figure out how to get a pic on the comment page. Thought she might make a nice date for Mr. Cocka-Doodle-Doo!
Ah, so you do have a price?
ReplyDeleteHow much for that cock of yours?
I like her magazine. I like looking at the pictures and pretend I could do all that.
ReplyDeleteI then take scissors to it, remove all the faces and put my own pictures there.
ReplyDeleteThen I put all these perfected magazines in my Martha shrine.
Wanna see it someday?
b. it might put Mr.CDD over the edge of sanity. He's still recovering from finding uncle Al in the freezer
ReplyDeleteLisa- don't you have some homework to over see???
ReplyDeleteNCS- I thought I was the only one who had a martha shrine.
ReplyDeletegoing to do that picture thing now
Melissa- i hear Martha loves frogs
ReplyDeletebraised gently and served over rice
Hmmm, frogs!
ReplyDeleteWhere!?!?!
ReplyDeleteOnce I typed "my t1ts" instead of "my tips" on someone's blog.
ReplyDeleteIt was so embarrassing.
Is my presence bothering you? My kids aren't home for another hour. I need this time for mindless activity. But then there will be homework and studying and too much of it. Just you wait until your kid is older!!!
ReplyDeleteNCS-Guffaw! t1ts!
naw you ain't bothering me i like to insult and hassle everyone. it was just your turn
ReplyDeleteNCS- don't make me ban you for all the foul language you have typed here today
ReplyDelete(fowl language day is Wednesday)
It's 4:15 guess who has already done her homework?
ReplyDeleteMe, too. You can't really read the sarcasm in the comment. But it's there.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! Don't even say your kid is done with homework! The tears are welling up in my eyes already.
I started subscribing to Martha's magazine when she went to prison. It was the only way I knew how to show my support.
ReplyDeletefowl language day is Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI broke th erules of your blog Jean Knee.
:(
I'm sorry, please don't ban me. I need this!
Yeah but does it cover in explicit detail 1,001 positions.....um, I mean ways to enjoy arugula?
ReplyDeleteDidn't think so.
Bee, I can't make mashed potatoes without potatoes but you should taste my mock apple pie made with RITZ crackers!
ReplyDeleteIs that too dirty to invite another chicky to taste my pie? Maybe I'm moving into American Pie movie territory here...
Everything tastes better sitting on a RITZ!
ReplyDeleteokay, all rules are off all bans lifted, except for that evil Thanksgiving celebrating
ReplyDeleteI may be blind after reading that vulgarity arugula
ReplyDeletejean knee The Office Rules!
ReplyDeleteWas that lame? Sorry, I'll try to do better.
ReplyDeleteOh, the horror, the horror!
ReplyDeletethe Michael and Jan part was funny...................
Ummm...now I want a subscription. Darn you.
ReplyDeleteConsumerism makes the world go 'round.
ReplyDeleteMartha is definitely talented.
I would pay THEM $15 not to send it to me. I already feel inferior enough as it is!
ReplyDeleteThe Chicken Dances Salsa At Midnight.
ReplyDeleteWakes Up As Southwest Chicken With A Tortilla For A Blanket.
I got this weird letter in the mail with polka dots all over it yesterday. Would you happen to know anything about that? Hmmmm, jean knee?
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could be Martha minus that whole rap sheet thing...
