I think that I will try this with my daughter, though, she likes to read some articles (okay-I make her read some articles!) and this would make it much easier for her...thanks for the tip!<br /><br />Here via SITS-have a comment filled weekend!!Tracie Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908908021649000930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-56753071932089289272009-10-02T15:58:44.364-04:002009-10-02T15:58:44.364-04:00Hi Karen, thanks for visiting my blog!

He usually sits down to breakfast before I do and when I sit down he has the whole paper in his hands. I always say to him, "Want to share any of that?". Every stinkin' day! Why can't he just separate it into sections and take one, only one, I don't care WHICH one, but JUST one at a time! There! I feel much better now!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-72763357369100579062009-10-02T08:22:44.033-04:002009-10-02T08:22:44.033-04:00I actually no longer read the paper - we got fed u...I actually no longer read the paper - we got fed up with our local Toledo Blade and cancelled our subscription years ago, but I can see Harry's point - his way sounds like a good idea.Chrishttp://blog.werelivingwell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-71093934212215861632009-10-01T16:02:02.328-04:002009-10-01T16:02:02.328-04:00I found you on SITS (I'm a newbie there & ...I found you on SITS (I'm a newbie there & still learning) and wanted to say hello.

I actually love reading the paper myself. I love flipping through it - back and forth reading. I'm not sure why; even as I type this it sounds like it should be annoying!The Grown-Up Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345769609538869681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290956317767045397.post-24748443817975235132009-09-28T10:21:44.708-04:002009-09-28T10:21:44.708-04:00it's been so long since I read a newspaper...b...it's been so long since I read a newspaper...but if I remember correctly I would always read the front page first...picking out what was important to me and following the rest of the article to whatever page it was found on. Next I would hit the obits and the comic strip. That was about it. I never tore the newspaper apart...just lots of flipping and turning...lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577780679140276988noreply@blogger.com
