Dee's search for bromance

[deelaundry]

Guy at Exxon station: We only carry newspapers.

Guy at Borders: No, we don't carry TV Guide. Try the Books-a-Million over in [town approximately ten miles away].

Guy at 7-11 #1: There aren't any over there? *pulls out three-ring binder with delivery lists in it* Oh, I guess we didn't get any this week.

Guy at 7-11 #2: You want three copies of TV Guide? Really?

Husband: Yes, OK, fine, I'll watch the kids so you can go find more copies of the magazine. Why don't you pick up dinner on the way back?

*hugs husband*

ETA
Grocery store: *copies of last week's issue*

Guy at drugstore: TV Guide? I haven't seen that here in a loooong time.

Blockbuster: *carries Vogue, Teen Vogue, Heroes magazine, gaming magazines, Entertainment Weekly, but no TV Guide*

7-11 #3: *Dee walks past cops talking sternly to some drunk-looking dude, to buy all but the last copy of the House-Wilson TV Guide* YAY!

Try the grocery store Publix!!!!!!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

No Publix around here, but I found success at the 7-11!

Dee let me know if you fail on your quest. I will be buying mine at HyVee tomorrow and will pick up extras if you need them. They don't make it here to the Midwest until Fridays.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I was finally able to get all that I need, though. :D Two for me, and some for overseas friends.

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

Barnes and Noble didn't have any, the Giant Eagle doesn't have any, the small magazine store on my street only had the CSI one. I'll check a couple other places in the area, but I'd be very willing to trade you porn in case Pittsburgh falls through.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

After eight stops I got the copies I was looking for. Let me know if you can't get some tomorrow, and I'll check near my work for an extra for you.

[inlaterdays.livejournal.com]

I am pouting about them not being available here till tomorrow. :(

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I know! It was hard enough just waiting until Thursday : (

[bironic.livejournal.com]

The Penn Station convenience store usually has a bunch, but that's not going to help either of us. Good luck!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Mission accomplished finally! Eeeee!

[xaipw.livejournal.com]

Did you try RiteAid or *shudder* Walmart?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Walmart is like 40 minutes away for me, bleah. But I was able to finish my mission at 7-11 #3! W00t!

[californiaquail.livejournal.com]

Uh oh. I haven't even attempted to procure my copy yet. Do you think I'll have trouble?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

My main problem seemed to be not knowing where they actually sell TV Guide. Calling ahead might be an idea to save time and gas. Good luck!

[lazy-nightowl.livejournal.com]

I'm having the same issue, dee. Two large grocery chains and one Rite-Aid so far.

My local, indy bookstore doesn't even carry TVGuide, which I didn't realize until I asked and the employee answered me in a bit of a snotty voice! I'll have to try Borders tomorrow. A half-hour drive, but worth it in this case.

And yea, I'm not looking forward to the strange looks I'll get when I bring three or four copies up to the register.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

I'd call ahead to the Borders -- they should be able to tell you if they stock it. If not, 7-11 was what ended up working for me.

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

*cuddle*

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I finally got what I needed.

[calamitysxchild.livejournal.com]

My friend and I went to our local Borders and asked for help, but when they led us to the TV Guide, it did not have the Bromance on the cover. :( We were really sad.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Was it the CSI cover? The Bromance might come out tomorrow in your area. Good luck!

[debbiel66.livejournal.com]

Don't grocery stores carry TV Guide any more? I was going to run out tonight and try to get a copy. I haven't bought one in ages.

[lazy-nightowl.livejournal.com]

Yes, the two grocery chains I went to have plenty of copies of the Oct 6 issue.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Mission finally accomplished at the third 7-11! Woo-hoo! I wanted a couple for me, and a few to send to friends overseas. : )

[remydoodle.livejournal.com]

I would definitly try a food chain store. They always have the tv guide at checkout.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

7-11 worked for me! My grocery store had last week's issue, so if I hadn't been successful tonight, I would've gone back there tomorrow. Yay! :D

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

It's just my luck to have my subscription run out right now. I'm hoping it'll be in my mailbox when I get back from traveling on Sunday, but if not, there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Arrrr.

[poeia.livejournal.com]

If your subscription has run out you might still get one but I wouldn't count on it. TV Guide only delivers an average of 1,200 copies each week for people who's subs have expired. They're the ones you get with notes like "you probably sent in your renewal already and we don't want you to miss an issue." But they'd only do it if they thought they wouldn't sell the # they promised advertisers this week.

I was running to 2 stores near here when I remembered that I had to buy it -- made a big loop through the neighborhood and found a newsstand with a couple of copies.

[shutterbug-12.livejournal.com]

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! WOOT! But, man, that is awesome. LOL

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

LOLOL My husband thinks I'm crazy.

[spoggly.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA OMG AN ODYSSEY

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

INORITE? Media retailing, why you gotta vex me?

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm so glad your dedication paid off XD

(And yay for Mr Laundry watching the kids!)

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

YOUR COPY IS RIGHT HERE! I think I'll make it to the Post Office today - YAY!

[debbiel66.livejournal.com]

Checked out Rite Aid and the grocery store with no luck. Guess I'll keep trying...

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Convenience store? That was where I had success.

Sorry Dee

[arielnow.livejournal.com]

Can I email you? I've got a question...Thanks, A

Re: Sorry Dee

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Sure. deelaundry at yahoo dot com

[anoel.livejournal.com]

Man that's how I felt when I couldn't find it at three places. But hopefully today!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Good luck!!!

[hibernia1.livejournal.com]

Yay awesome, you were able to score! Go Dee!! I'm happy for you! And it's so nice you buy some for the unlucky people overseas who can't buy them for themselves. The House fandom's the best!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Thanks - it really made me smile to get the copies, and then I'm happy to spread the fun overseas! ♥

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

I don't want to look obsessive by buying more than one at a time, so I keep looking for excuses to go to Shaw's. I haven't been to the supermarket this much in a year! (Have two, will need a third.)
