Well, That Was Quick Department
On the 15th I signed up for a weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Atlanta Journal-Constitution subscription. James always buys the weekly Fry's ad—I mean the Friday issue—and we always get a paper on Sunday, usually the double deal except on holiday weekends like Easter, when there are no coupons. The man selling the subscription assured me we could get the double paper on the subscription.

When we got our first Sunday paper, there was only one issue. Sure enough, I called the AJC and they said they don't do the double papers on Sunday via subscription. That's why I never got a subscription, but I thought the policy might have changed. So I cancelled: James can keep buying the Friday paper if he likes and we'll just have to go out for the double on Sundays. The only reason I buy the Sunday paper is for the coupons (and to use the classifieds at the bottom of the birdcage!); if we don't get a double issue, there's no use in it. (I usually shove the television section under the coffee table, but we hardly ever touch it until we swap it out again the next Sunday.) The Saturday paper is pretty useless; it's mostly sports. Who cares?
