Magnets on your refrigerator? Favorites?

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

We have so many on our fridge I won't even waste my time counting them. But my favorite ones are from family members and friends, and from neat places we have visited, my favorite we picked up at a winery it says:

I love to cook with wine......sometimes I even put it in the food.

Come on fess up I watch HGTV and every home they go in where common folks live I always notice the fridge is covered up with crap. But it's our crap and it's sentimental and no one I know can break the habit of pasting stuff up on their fridge with magnets. Tell me what some of your favorites are?

Is my fridge covered up with stuff? You betcha! But I've never considered magnets the art form many people think of them as. In fact, most of our are magnetic spring clips I buy at the hardware store.

A friend of ours has one I like that echoes her bumper sticker. It says, "I have PMS and a handgun. Any questions?"

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

Love that bumper sticker it's funny!

KYH I've got a slew of the magnetic clip ones as I receive them from different Insurance Companies that we write policies with. They usually wind up on opened bags of chips, rice, etc. and so disappear from the fridge for long periods of time. But I am convienced they are very practical and I am partial to practical as you must be as well! Hummm there is an idea brewing in my head.....decorate the clips with little sayings just like the magnets! After all mine have Ins. Co. slogans printed on them!

Here's a slogan that us foodies ought always to display:
"Of all the places I serve my guests it seems they like my kitcehn best"!

There was one saying posted in a kitchen that I hated it said:
"Good Kissin' don't last, good cookin' do". I just hate that philosophy
It ought to read instead: "Good Kissin', Good Cookin', got the best right here in my own kitchen!"

Cathy, that kissn' don't last saying is attributed to the Amish. Whether or not that's true depondent sayeth not.

The problem with artistic magnets, or those with sayings, for me, is that there's so much on the fridge that, most of the time, the magnets actually are covered by something hanging above them. In short, you can't see the forest for the trees.

For foodie slogans, though, if I were using them, I'd have one that would say: "It would surely be a terrible thing to die of low cholesterol."

If any of our northern members need that explained, I'll be glad to do so.

I have a few magnets but alot of family pics on the fridge.
My niece gets a giggle out of seeing her pics on my fridge.

I love this, it cracked me up KYH!

Janie, it's must be universal, photos are a main-stay of some of the stuff I hang up on the fridge! It just seems natural doesn't it


I am 100% convienced that we do this beacuse of all the time we spend in our kitchens. It is funny that we didn't wind up plastering all these things on any other surface of our homes interior!

Did you ever see the bumper sticker that says All Men Are Idiots..I should know because I married their king. Sorry to the men but that one made me laugh.

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

Too funny JG!!!

since I am away for months at a time, I have notes about those bills that only come once a year there, and receipts to remind about them.
Like KY, lots of clips with special photos, postcards, etc.
Will see if this gets beeped-- my favorite bumper sticker was on a lady's Harley--"My inner child is a mean little f***er".

Dunno if I have a favorite one, but I can tell you my least favorite one..

It is the one that comes attached to the side of a computer that someone drops off to me because they don't understand why it doesn't work anymore.. Seriously, this has happened more than once..

Let me just state it here: DO NOT put magnets on your PC!
