    I'll do that with magazines occasionally, but I've never really bought a newspaper. I may start cutting coupons, so a newspaper may be in my future once or twice a week.

    I don't actually read the news much, I leave that up to David. He used to be absolutely obsessed with current events, but has found that he is a much more pleasant, less stressed person now that he isn't so wrapped up in it. He does keep up, but he isn't submerged. I refuse to watch the news. If I do get it, it's via print, whether on paper or screen.

    I think it's a great idea to grab a paper or periodical and keep it, though. It's part of history.

    I get the paper delivered daily, LOVE to read it over my morning coffee. I usually have one dog and one cat in my lap to prop it up!

    I marked "save them my pets need them" in th epoll. I save the papers in a box, toss the ads, comics, color sheets in the recycle bin. Once per month I take all the papers in the box to the local shelter, they desperately need them to line the cat cages. So, not really for MY pets, but that was the closest in the poll.

    I sometimes save a memorable event paper for a month or 2, then it just gets in my way and I can't stand it any more; into the box it goes!

    On CNN today they were having a retrospective on the moon landing.
    On the desk in front of Buzz Aldrin and Wolf Blitzer are two yellowed newspapers from July 20, 1969!

    I love it!
