I just love those refrigerator poetry things. You know, the magnetic words that you can arrange to say clever things (or not so clever things). I hadn't realized that they now have companion sets to the original -- you can get 240 words of specialized vocabulary that are characterized as "genius" "dog lover" "cat lover" "rock & roll" etc. The sets actually have about 1/2 of the words in the special vocabulary (bark, dish, walk, sit, etc. for dog lovers) and about 1/2 of the words are the typical things you'd need to make a sentence (it, me, you, I, as, at, etc.) or the letter combinations you need to pluralize or make an adverb, etc.
So, that's whats on my fridge.

Those magnetic poetry things are great. We had a white board on our fridge at mom's when I was in college. My dad would always sneak in there when nobody was around and draw bizarre pictures. I remember one cartoon in particular of a 1940s zoot suit dude with a buzz cut staring through a rickety looking telescope at the sky, and his eyes popping out with astonishment. No indication whatsoever of what it was that surprised him so. My dad was deeply weird.
My fridge now is covered in kid art (and has been for many years). There's a magnificent rendition of the Golden Gate Bridge that my niece Mary did for me several years back after she got home from a trip to San Francisco. That one is too good to ever take down.

Notes, old school stuff that nobody but my mother cares about anymore, and some magnets to hold it all up.

Pizza coupons from 1993, restaurant menus, "Grocery List", and too much medical stuff.

Not my fridge, but there was a mini-escapade with those magnetic poetries, in that my roommate and one of my friends down the hall went shopping and got a set, the "Pick up Lines" set...?
I came home to find my whiteboard saying:
You .......Me ............Whipped Cream
Any Questions?

I've got bills and a copy of the budget. Not to exciting eh?
Come to think of it I do have a picture of my inards that was taken during a surgery I had a while back. It's, kind of, our little diet plan.

I have so many things on my fridge, that I wouldn't be able to list them all here. Magnets & newsclips, etc. are a great way to cover an old fridge so no one can see how dirty the outside of it is
I know I have a couple of Dear Abby columns, and a Zits cartoon that makes jest at vegetarians (my mom's a vegetarian, and we good-naturely rib her off and on).

Shakespearean magnetic poetry, sorted into parts of speech (yeah, we're geeks). Right now, we only have two sentences:
"Will you please woo me?" and "Love is like a winter dream."
We've also composed such masterpieces as "Thy foul and bawdy manner doth almost quench all my fair desires to woo you," and "Lady of my dreams, how can you question that I love you?"
And of course, "Are they coming o'er for trifle soon?"
Some Jatraquero left a lovely one about dreams on my fridge after the first Utah get-together. I left it there for months afterward. (:

On our fridge is a project grade-sheet from one of my professors, some pictures people sent for the holidays, doctors' appointment reminders galore, and on the side is a photo of my brother and i together from every single summer since about 1991.

Calendar, phone numbers, some article and magnets of all the states we've been to.

My uncle has a magnet on his fridge that is a Star Trek borg. It says "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated!" Funniest fridge magnet I have ever seen!

On my own mini-fridge, there's Study Abroad magnetic poetry, a Tragically Hip bumper sticker, a MOB bumper sticker, and some pictures of people from high school.
On the main apartment fridge, there's Shakespearean magnetic poetry, some magnets we made ourselves, pizza coupons, and sometimes a grocery list. We used to have a whiteboard with apartment quotations on it, but it broke.

I feel the need to link this here even if it only explains what's in my fridge.

We have a huge collection of magnets on our fridge, most of them souvenirs from trips and vacations, a few choice comic strips, some very old kid art(from when the kids were in elementary school), a clip board with a grocery list (we are all "supposed" to write items to be bought on it when we use the last one), a clip magnet with (supposedly) recent important notices on it, and several calendars - one containing all the family appointments and activities, 2 school calendars, and one synagogue calendar.

We have a little two slotted organizer that holds our coupons and take-out menus and various magnets.
We had magnetic poetry on the fridge, but we must be really messy because it started sticking to the fridge without the magnets!
So...we've been thinking about buying some of that magnetic kids paint so we could set aside an area of the wall for magnetic poetry Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
Oh, and I forgot to mention, we also have this little magnetic box with a spot for pens (we also keep a scissors there) and note paper.
