So what's on your refrigerator?

Post by ShadowBG625 »

Let's see. I have several magnets on my fridge. There is one of my cousin who is a realtor. There's one my niece gave me for Junior Achievement, and a JA magnet picture frame with a picture of her dog in it. A magnet to our local vet, with a picture of a dog I once had in it. Magnet's to an Urgent Care Center, the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail, the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, and the Rinker Employee Assistance place. There's also an old decal I pulled out of a Corn Flakes box of Jimmie Johnson ( #48 ).

Anyone else care to share? :poke:

About 30 little airline bottles and a big bottle of Glenlivet.

My father used to keep the occasional gentleman's magazine in top of the icebox, which in 4th grade was a spectacular find, even in 1959.

right this second? Hmmm......a few kiddie pictures that my wee ones colored for me. Magnets, obviously, to hold said pictures up (couple of religious type ones, but mostly just regular ones. Oh! And a Guinness one). And on top...besides dust, I have no idea. Scary thought in of itself :lol:

the "not currently in use magnets are on the right side (as you look at it) of the fridge. These consist of everything from old sport schedules, real estate sellers, political, etc - to several of those clip kinds.

On the front of the fridge:
- a pad of paper for the grocery list
- the title to Nate's truck (I still need to get the plates for it)
- Noah's geometry and history home work list for the month (I love organized teachers)
- the phone number for the orthodontist (Noah is in full "rail road tracks")
- our tickets for the Moody Blues concert that's happening this Saturday!!!

On the left side:
- a calendar
- a small white board

Magnets holding all manner of creased, curled papers: menu/coupons for a couple of pizza delivery companies, a paper with a concerned looking professional woman with a caption: "Would you know if you were having a heart attack?" (Now, I realize why that one's there.) A list of what fruits and vegetables are better refrigerated or left at room temp. Kids drawings by my daughter who's now 17. The Beatitutes. A magnet with a pizza delivery phone number, an emergency numbers magnet (see the pattern?), a Green Man magnet, a greaseboard for making a grocery list...stuff that's been there so long I'm numb to them...

For those of you who haven't been to my mom's house: millions of souvenier magnets from everywhere she's ever visited alongside multitudes of religious magnets. You only put papers and reminders on the side of the fridge,not the front.

The spookiest thing just happened. I read through this thread, then went to check my email, and I found that I have a piece of spam from "House of Magnets", advertising "2006 Magnetic Calendars"! :o

I'm sure this means that I am destined to do something important with refrigerator magnets. How else could such a coincidence be explained? :boggle:

The Universe is sending me a message!!! :shock:

The Titanic was built in Belfast and picked up passengers in Southampton and Cobh, before the tragic voyage.

On the top of my frig I keep my baseball hat collection in a produce cardboard box with colorful pictures of veggies on the sides. Also there is an air humidifier and two soup pots.

I used to make magnetic bracelets, so I would buy a thousand ceramic magnets at a time. When I stopped making the bracelets, I still have about 800 strong magnets, some of which hold up photos on the front of my frig. I keep that rest of the magnets under my computer table to help give my computer a little extra boost.
