P365 Day 203: And the USPS onslaught begins

Our magazines have started coming in the mail. (See original post here.) I haven't checked it in a couple of days, so there's no telling what's waiting for me. (Magazines: good. Bills: bad.)



So, for reasons that should now be abundantly clear, I am in the market for one or two magazine racks. I started at Target.com, where the choices ranged from a $10 rack that hooks onto your toilet (??) to a $179 "Curve" holder that actually doesn't look that special, considering we can pick up a whole magazine table for the same price.

IKEA has a couple that look nice and are a great price, but none of them are available online and the closest IKEA is 196 miles away in Charlotte, N.C. Also, I've never been to an IKEA store, and I'm not sure I want to pop my IKEA cherry on a $10 magazine rack. That should be saved for one of the other pieces of furniture we need (two computer desks, two computer chairs and a TV stand).

Maybe I'll order this one from Wal-Mart so I can begin redecorating my apartment to look like my doctor's office.

Wait, that was the "inspired comment" you were so anxious to make that you didn't listen to a word I was saying?

Dotty dot dot.

Remember when Pizza Hut announced they would be slowing transitioning to a new name: THE HUT?

And, upon hearing this, Paul said that reminded him of sitting on the toilet?

Not really related, I just remembered it when I read his earlier inspired comment.

I don't remember that "gem" of a statement. Obviously, it did not happen.

I'm not a huge fan of things you have to mount to the wall. That makes it feel like forever.
