I keep some for my coffee table ,Home and living ,garden home but the Huisgenoot goes to the dustbin when we are done . I have a collection of very old ones that I treasure like a 1978 Huisgenoot with a visit to pres.John Vosters house ,Libertas .
In South Africa I used to have a nice collection of National Geographic magazines. I also had a pile of electronic and Getaway magazines. I never used to buy any of the other ones. I always borrowed the girlfriends ones to read.
We keep the garden and home and 'die tuinier'. Will keep a few in the toilet (sounds crazy but I know that I am not the only one) for the number two reading. The rest goes in a recycle bin at Church.
I think Getaways are a keeper - the rest get chucked (I mean recycled) - everybody must recycle people.
No, we buy too many magazines to keep them all, maybe we could if we rented a storage container somewhere.
Well I also get the Huisgenoot/You magazine every week, after I have done Phanie Alberts crossword puzzles I give them to my daughter who keeps them to cut pictures out for school projects or she uses the pictures to make birthday cards. I get the National geographic once a month since 1998, that I all keep. Then we get Runners mag, Triathlete and Bicycling to which we subscribe, my husband keeps some and some he throws away, ot the domestic servant usually takes them to read. One of my friends also keeps the old Huisgenoots, she has very old ones, they used to be a massive big magazine almost as big as an A3 page and before they were called Huisgenoot they had another name, but for the life of me I cannot remember the name, perhaps one of the others can, something like Uitspan of so iets?
