My husband canceled ours (after taking it for 19 years) because I wasn't keeping up with reading them and was getting rid of ones I had never even opened. Oops. Our daily paper has very little information in it, since we don't live in a very big place, but I do miss the Sunday paper and think I'll start getting it delivered soon.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-70930811283867514782018-02-19T09:01:35.398-06:002018-02-19T09:01:35.398-06:00I'm so happy you still get a newspaper!(althou...I'm so happy you still get a newspaper!(although I admit to buying only for the circulars and tv section.

Although the price of the paper is rising all the time, we still choose to have it delivered. You have found very many uses for recycling and reusing the paper and those plastic bags it comes in.

I love the reasons you describe for how it surpasses TV as the preferred to get the news. Especially these days it can feel like the news comes at us in an all out assault.

As a little girl I used to love washing the bottles and putting them out for the milkman to collect. Sadly, I'm not sure a lot of milkmen make their money doing it any more and a lot of them have stopped. I do like reading 'proper' print though compared to on the screen :)Mind Over Metahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426909802122138328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-3754086441677641762018-02-17T11:30:54.967-06:002018-02-17T11:30:54.967-06:00I always used old rolled up newspapers ton start f...I always used old rolled up newspapers ton start fires in the fireplace.

It became very expensive and had nothing of worth to us. So, we don't miss the paper at all. We can get all the news we need online.

Now I'll be thinking about this all day.<br /><br />Have a fabulous weekend. ♥Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-22537115874341628402018-02-17T09:15:57.814-06:002018-02-17T09:15:57.814-06:00Your post makes me pine for our local paper.

I had lots of uses for the newspaper after reading it. They quit delivering to my area and I could only subscribe to online editions. I decided against that and tried the nearest large city, Joplin, Missouri. They do not deliver to my area either. I am sad because I miss the daily news while at the breakfast table sipping my coffee;-(Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-21566116544612588012018-02-17T07:26:16.542-06:002018-02-17T07:26:16.542-06:00I always look forward to your thankful list and se...I always look forward to your thankful list and seeing what theme you chose for it. I love the newspaper too, I am impressed that it gets delivered in all weather (even the post office isn't that good ). We love those bags for scooping cat poop too :) Have a nice weekend!pilch92https://www.blogger.com/profile/12263559408792146826noreply@blogger.com
