I only say this because there are STACKS of the same issue of Expecting, Fit Pregnancy, Parenting, and Ser Padres at my OB. And there aren't that many chairs that even if every single person in the waiting room was reading the same magazine they'd all be used. I haven't taken any but that's my suspicion based on the amounts of them at the office. I think the magazines at the OB are meant to be taken.

Perhaps I should even return it to the doc's office on my next visit, like a library. But I have noticed the past couple times at my OBs that the only magazines there are zillions of copies of Minnesota Baby, or some such undesirable magazine.

You two (and probably many more THIEVES just like you) are boosting them. Thanks a lot! Now I know why the only magazines at my doctor’s office are Reader’s Digest and three-year old Redbooks.

I just did that very thing not 2 hours ago, after having had a mental argument with myself over it. Was taking the magazine a wrong that could be righted by the sweetpotato cheesecake recipe? I guess I'll find out on Thursday. I cannot believe your last two lines of this post. I just did that very thing not 2 hours ago, after having had a mental argument with myself over it.
