I don’t know how to describe it other than to say that it makes me nervous. Here's why that will never happen: pages without ads = lots and lots of money. Ad revenue drives pages. No ads means SL foots the bill for those pages, to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars. So please understand, the more ads you see, the more pages in your magazine.

Years ago, my dearest, most wonderful, extremely Southern "Mamaw" got me a subscription as a wedding present and kept renewing it, too! (My favorite part about it was that she had it sent to "Mrs. Paul Davidson"--because she was ALL about Southern charm and etiquette.) After she died I didn't keep getting it. It was just not the same. What weird timing that the magazine itself had changed so much. This year for Mother's Day I ASKED my husband for a subscription, and I'm so glad I did!! Makes me remember her each time I open one. YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Years ago, my dearest, most wonderful, extremely Southern “Mamaw” got me a subscription as a wedding present and kept renewing it, too!

We have had this same discussion several times recently. I will agree that things are improving some but it is not up to snuff yet! I miss the "feel" of the pages but more importantly there are more ads than content and I miss the decorating artcles....seems they only do "idea houses" now! I do miss what we had before...but let's hope they are seeing the error of their ways! My mother has given me a subscribtion to SL for my birthday for the past 20 years or so.

It's the only magazine I couldn't live without. I just got the July issue in today and the watermelon drink things on the cover made my mouth water. I love Southern Living.
