Does that make me a bad person?
BTW, I stole this page right out of the magazine so I could tell you the story, but please don't be too mad at me. The issue was from last July.

She Sometimes Got Distracted
I was at the dermatologist this morning when a Newsweek magazine caught my eye. I opened it to a story about how kids in military families are getting a lousy education, due to lack of funding. The story was quite serious and gave examples of crumbling school buildings, lack of classroom computers and empty library shelves. I tried to give it the proper attention it deserved....but all I could think about was how to get my grubby hands on this classroom map.
Does that make me a bad person?

It's from last July?! That's almost as bad as doctor's offices that only have RV or hunting magazines.
I have a STACK of magazines from recent history I'd like to donate...although there's probably some pages missing from those as well.
This cracked me up....yep I see a story but all I want to know is where they got that wonderful old stuff. The map is pretty cool. The kids not getting a good education, not so much. hugs, Linda
How could you be a bad person for recognizing that those kids are using vintage materials? I do feel for them and I understand your desire for the map......
Merry Christmas, Pam,

I'd love to have a big roll down map too. They have to exist who the general public some where!
I get distracted driving/walking around my neighborhood and wanting to steal outdoor furniture.
So did you quietly tear it out or just let it rip????
I found a 48 state North America classroom map in someone's garbage last year. Just happened to be driving by, and what did I spy? One end has separated from its wooden pole/rod hanger thingy, and I'll get around to fixing it at some point. Trying to decide whether to keep...sell...keep, THEN sell...who knows. I lurve it.
I would have stolen ...er, removed that map too, I am The Map Woman. Good job! When you're done with it, ship it to me :)

If you had a map like that, what would you do with it?
