Karen’s Commentary:
Recently I came across a March 1990 issue of Reader’s Digest. The first
thing that struck me was the weight of it! Upon examination, I noticed there
were 246 numbered pages, compared to my July/August 2020 issue which consists
of 126 pages – that’s almost half the number of pages and this is a DOUBLE
issue! There were 18 main articles, a book section and 17 smaller articles in
the old issue; 7 “features”, 12 “departments”, 4 “humor” articles and 4 “genius”
sections in the new one. So just as I was convinced that Reader’s Digest is now
a giant rip-off, I decided to count the advertisement pages. The old issue has a
whopping 84 pages of ads plus several multi-page inserts (totaling another 30
pages) that were not numbered as regular pages; the new issue had just 21 pages
of ads, no inserts. I’ve always loved Reader’s Digest. I’ve been a subscriber for
many years and read other people’s copies for many years before that. But one
thing I will never be able to forgive them for is taking their table of contents
off the cover! To me, that was a unique feature that they should never have
messed with. The time span of thirty years has certainly made a difference in
this magazine, but not enough to stop me from continuing to subscribe to and
read it. If losing the cover’s table of contents feature didn’t stop me, I
guess nothing will.

Handy Hint: Chocolate
and Xylitol (the sugar substitute in many sugarless gums) are both poison to
your dog. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous. If you suspect your dog
ate either one of these or any other toxic substance, call your vet or the Pet
Poison Helpline at 800-213-6680. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so.
The Helpline will tell you how to induce vomiting with ordinary hydrogen
peroxide, so keep some in your house for emergencies. (By the way,
full-strength hydrogen peroxide also kills the coronavirus!)
Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the
WONDERs all around us.
