B.Y.O.M
Bring.your.own.magazine.
On a recent visit to the Dr’s office I decided to bring my own magazine. I was sick and tired of trying to find the one decent magazine in the sea of 7 month old crapola they have lying around at most offices. So I thought, why not bring my own? I have tons of magazines lying around and this way I can read something decent without dealing with mysteriously sticky pages, torn out sections and half done crossword puzzles.
It worked out so well I think I will start B.Y.O.M-ing all the time! Of course you do run the risk of someone saying, Hey you can’t take that with you! And then having to turn around and say no I brought this with me, it is mine, yada yada. That aside, I don’t see any downfall to bringing your own.
My mag of choice this week: Oprah. Love me some Oprah magazine!

BYOM is a great idea. Thanks.
At my dentist’s office I got hooked on “Real Simple Magazine.” So I took one of those pesky subscription cards and subscribed. It’s pretty much female oriented, but it is filled with great ideas that cater to all economic levels and all things creative. I’m so impressed with it that all three of my adult girls will get a gift subscription for this coming Christmas. Don’t tell ‘em. It’s a secret. The price is right, too.
Thanks for stopping by again. I always appreciate it.

Real Simple is a great publication. I have often caught a glimpse of some great articles while reading it at other offices as well.
I think the gift subscription idea is a great one. My husband and I renew each others subscriptions around the holidays.
Thanks for commenting!

You have the wrong doctor. Mine subscribes to very expensive magazines. Sometimes they call me before I am ready to leave my reading material.

hehe Jan sounds like you found some great offices to wait in! It is a bummer to come across a gem of a magazine only to be called in too early!

I’m in the byob club — bring your own book. Magazines are good too.

Good for you! I’ve been bring a book to my dentists for the past 10 years. Since she’s always late, now I hardly even realize it!

Having worthwhile reading material sure does make those long waits easier to bear!
