The new game in town....

How many of you have bought a subscription

for a magazine and the following year get

a notice of an AUTOMATIC renewal?

This year I have gotten 4 of them.  And I know

I did not click any automatic renewal.

You see when you are in your 70's you don't

do automatic renewal of anything.  Not unless

it is something for the whole family.

See, each year, I look at it as a blessing..

At 70, you start to see the fuzz mark on your heel..

the expiration date.  Not clear yet.. but you know

it is coming.  If you are lucky, it could be 10 years

if not.. it could be next year or even next month.

You don't dwell on it... but you don't make long

term plans. Especially magazines that your relatives

don't want to be stuck with..

So I have written across the notice NO.. NO..  DO

NOT RENEW..  explaining to them.. that I don't do

automatic renewals...because I don't know if

I will be here next year...

Only one I have renewed... See the others are mostly

ones that I ordered in order to help my great

grandson with his school subscription drive.. and it

is hard to find any ...one wants to read anymore.

So watch your opting for a magazine, you might be

signing up for an automatic renewal.
