I miss my newspaper! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me5 months ago

I picked up a free copy of a newspaper the other day while I was out. When I got around to reading it last night I was surprised to learn that I actually miss reading the newspaper. I especially like reading the Sunday paper because it is chock full of interesting items. My favorite sections of the paper include the editorials, Life and Art, Horoscope, and the crossword puzzle - the more difficult the better! I am seriously considering subscribing to our local paper once again. Sure, you can access all of the news on the Internet, TV, and radio, but there is nothing like leafing through the pages as you enjoy that morning cup of coffee(or two). happy

Oh I know exactly what you mean and there really isn't anything much like sipping your coffee while flipping your newspaper. Many years ago I would get the newspaper on a daily basis and loved to get the Sunday Papers with all the coupons and sales flyers! You can also find alot of jobs in your sunday paper which is really nice.


myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

Yes, Glow, that is so true. I used to set aside several hours on Sunday just to go through my newspaper at a leisurely pace.

i really enjoy reading the newspaper but alas, we cannot afford to get it plus, i honestly think that i would not have enough time to read it every day. most days for us are just too busy! (sometimes we get a free sample or my daughter brings it home from school).


myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

It's such a shame, cher, that many of the things we like have gone up so much that we cannot afford them any longer. I can always find a bit of time to read, though, even if I have to take it into the bathroom with me. lol

According to me, reading a newspaper is very useful. You will not only understand the newest items worldwide. In internet there a lot of items too, and maybe they are hundred times more than the news in the newspaper, but in the last one the news are true and you can believe in everything you read in the newspapers.


myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

I can't say that I believe everything that I read in the newspaper, kircho, but it is a pretty reliable source of information.

Hello friend,
I know what you are talking about. I was in a hostel for the last four years for doing my engineering and there I was completely cut off from the newspapers. I used to use google for everything, from news to games to any study related material. However, when I came back and started reading the newspaper, I realized how much I miss it. It is a really good habit and it helps you in keeping in touch with the current affairs.


myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

You are right, jshekhar. I started reading the newspaper whn I was a child(mostly the comics), but it turned into a lifelong habit for me.

Whenever I want to know what is on television or to check if my programs are on, I will always look it up in the newspaper, dad will insist on checking on Sky, but I like to read the little review they put beside it as well or the feature. Whenever I watch television and the commercials come on I always do the crosswords in the paper to pass the time. I don't read the news to be honest, too much doom and gloom and right now I certainly don't need that, so yes a paper is entertaining for me for the tv and crosswords oh and film guide too what's coming on at the cinemas etc..


myLot reputation of 48/100. kircho (382)   ranked 1,548 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

Yeah the best section in a newspaper is the crossword. It increases your intellect. I am just like you- always only solve it and that's everything I do with the newspaper. Cheers.


myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

There is really so much more than the news in a newspaper, wolfie, that I would often skip that part as well. My mom and I used to race to see who could finish all of the puzzles first. lol

My husband use to deliever our local paper and we got our news for free...When we quiet the job a few years ago we stopped getting the paper...I miss having my local paper everyday and sometimes I will go out and buy one...Its nice though to have a paper brought to your door and being able to just step out on your porch and bring it in a have a nice read over a cup of coffee...The sunday paper is the best...I miss it more then ever after reading what you have wrote... happy


myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

One of the main reasons that I stopped taking the newspaper, PoetryPose, was because of some dishonest neighbors who would steal it if I wasn't right there to get it when it was delivered. Maybe now that they have moved on I will start back taking the Sunday and Wednesday editions. happy

thumbup Hi World...I totally agree with you. Though anything, or almost anything, can be found on the internet, I still like reading through the Sunday paper at my leisure, or thumbing through an actual paper magazine or book. And I love pen and paper for writing, too. The smells and feels and rituals of some things cannot be beat by even the internet.

I am very much a hands-on type of person, Peaceful, and I really miss that since I've been getting most of my news over the Internet or from TV and radio. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. PeacefulWmn9 (2525)   ranked 34 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

happy Hello World, and thank you so much for the "best response." I am happy there are still hands-on people in our world.:)

Why don't you just subscribe to the Sunday paper then? Probably cost ya afew and then you and your coffee will be comfy for the winter. Those special little things that make us happy is where it is at. Life is short so enjoy it while you can. And spit out the pits.


myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

You know, celticeagle, I think I will do just that - starting tomorrow. I shudder to think how much it's going to cost me though.

Hey worldwise! I haven't actually read a newspaper in years!
I don't remember the last time I have read one! My boyfriend
buys them to read on the bus and while he is on lunch at
work. I just don't bother anymore! As you said, I read my
news on the Internet or watch it on tv! I am ashamed to say
that the only thing I use the newspaper for is to line the
litter box with!blush


myLot reputation of 92/100. worldwise1 (6088)   ranked 401 out of 3,118 in me  5 months ago

I guess that I miss it so much, Opal, because it has been a part of my life for so many years. Sitting in front of the computer and catching up on the latest news somehow just isn't the same. lol
