M is for Magnetism



Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.

Dave Barry

  1. I love magnets! My refrig is packed. Bob is NOT a fan. I think refrig magnets might make a great blog post!

  3. I have so many magnets on my refrigerator that it's embarrassing.

    At least, my husband thinks so...

  8. I think "Life In The Kitchen" was somehow better, before refrig magnets came along. And allowed us to put so dang much stuff, up on our frig! -grin-

  9. The primary reason for them is to hold artwork created by preschoolers.

  10. I must have a severe case of magnetism. Me and the fridge are on a first name basis late at night! :D~Ames

  11. Hahaha, my refrigerator is a disaster area! I have a thing for magnets, including magnets to hold artwork from the grandkids. (not nearly as neat as the picture you used) *hides head in shame

  12. I love magnets but can only put them on the sides of my fridge now//probably a good thing in my case. keeps it neater. :)

  13. Wel, I am attracted to the refridgerator, because that is where I keep the ICE CREAM!!! Does that make me a magnet?

    ReplyDelete
  14. What a clever post! I struggled to think of an 'M' but have fridge like the one in your picture!!

  15. Oh my gosh...Dave Barry (and you) are hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  16. hahahaha. So, so true. And better, That's how my fridge looked when my kids were little. When they all left home, I thought to myself, good a naked fridge. Nope, grandkids.

  17. It looks like my refrigerator door, Jenny!

    Nicely done, Jenny!

  26. Oh my ! fortunately my fridge is integrated in the kitchen units, no way to put anything at the door !

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hmm, I guess that makes me a magnet since I'm attracted to the fridge for all the yummy goodness I store in there :)

    We use to have a lot of magnets. That was until E realized that she could pull them off and make them disappear with everything else she hides in our apartment!

  28. Hmmmm...that explains my weight gain. It's physics.

  29. I've gradually reduced the number of magnets on my fridge; it's under the worksurface and one of us is always spilling something down the door. Removing all of the magnets to wipe the door clean was becoming a real pain!

    ReplyDelete
  30. My refrigerator magnets are losing their oomph. Some of our drawings keep falling off. I wonder why that happens. I wish science would tell me.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Like so many other comments - I am also drawn to my frig...is there anyway to do a reverse magnet and push me away?

    ReplyDelete
  32. I quickly found the drawback to my new fridge - magnets don't stick to it. How can that be when it's supposedly steel? I miss my message board/gallery!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love it! (and I love Dave Barry, too).

    Namaste...........cj
