    man, i have saved every magazine i have ever owned through my entire life. my closet is ready to burst with years upon years worth of scientific american, musician's friend, skeptic, national geographic, magnet, skyscraper, guitar world, nintendo power, and even highlights subscriptions. i'd have even more if i didn't throw away all the porn a few years ago. and magazines are heavy. so that closet must weigh, like, 10,000 lbs.

    does anyone else have this problem? i mean, i've been a packrat with everything my whole life, but the magazines are just out of control. i should cut them all up and make collages out of them or something.

    I have the same problem.
    Freecycle, recycle, give them to friends or the library.
    But please don't just throw them away.
    Someone out there will want them!

    i tend to keep magazines way too long. i've rarely had subscriptions though so they haven't built up too much yet
