Would you like to have the address changed from your home to your work?
Breton said:I think it is not necessary anymore, it appears she was able to handle its appearance without emotional upset, and so I judge that the the magazine will not cause friction.
In fact, when she learned that I CONSIDERED having it delivered elsewhere so as to avoid anything "uncomfortable" for her, she clearly felt bad. Perhaps she realizes what kind of situation I am living in that I feel I have to be walking on eggshells all the time to avoid emotional upsets - and meanwhile I am just trying to live my own life and not forcing anything on her or the kids. She reminded me that she is still learning how to accept me as I am and not as she wants me to be and asked for my patience. Not in exactly those words, but that is the message I got. We will see, I don't necessarily believe it - but I try not to anticipate anything.
Thanks for thinking of helping me out!
Endymion said:My local library now has a pristine copy of The Dot Connector. They only accept donations in good or better condition so it was really simple when I showed them the 'coffee table' magazine. I said that I was donating it as I thought that many people would be interested in reading it who might otherwise not get to hear of it.

Perceval said:Libraries sounds like a good idea. There is a discount for bulk orders, but if you can come up with some other good ideas as to where to leave them where they will not just be thrown away, then they would be 'review' copies.
shellycheval said:Hospitals usually have several waiting rooms with people coming and going at all hours. No one is likely to notice if you walk in, sit down, pull a magazine out of your bag, read it for a few minutes, then look at your watch, get up and leave the magazine on the chair, walk out, then repeat another waiting room in another part of the building. EE flyers can also be distributed this way either in the mag. or just set down with it.

Aaron said:Hi truth seeker - I think I need to update my address. I moved since ordering the magazine and haven't gotten it yet, although I did put in a mail forward. I do have an account on the DCM site and updated my address there, however I created that account after ordering the hardcopies - I created it to download the free magazines. So I am not sure that account will be checked before sending out future copies.

Hi Perceval,
How can I order bulk copies? I checked on the DCM site and put in for 25 copies but it did not calculate any sort of discount.

Good point shellycheval. When "doctor's office" was mentioned, I thought of a small doctor's office and not an actual hospital. You're right, they have lots of different waiting rooms all over the building. :)
