We had those magetic words for quite a while... made maybe three poems.
Now the fridge is clear except for a whiteboard and one of Yayas drawings.....
We have assorted magnets and papers on our fridge. One of Betty Boop. One is a clip holding a note pad for grocery buying, which we never use. Some hold a few of the grandkids' school papers. A few papers on diet.
Then of course there is my Paul Tsongas For President Magnet
Let's see....
3 or 4 takeout menus
business cards for Vet and Pet Sitting Service (Furry Godmothers)
Magnets - my favorite being the one that sez
"Stop using Jesus as a excuse for being a narrow-minded A**hole"
Recycling Info
Neighbors phone #'s
Free Bagels for a year coupon.
I liked Paul Tsongas, but never had the magnet.

We did too...until F**K U turned up one day.
My brother had a set of alphabet letters. I left him a message the day I moved away from Providence: "Edgar #1 Risk player." I had soundly trounced him and his wife in a rousing Risk game the night before. My armies conquered the world, he heh heh heh, and I wasn't going to let him forget it.
I have a CAT on my fridge.........
Edgar, the first Nancy strip you showed must be quite old: they are greeting each other with "Hi" instead of the more contemporary "Hey."
My daughter for whom I posted it was in high school at the time. She now has an eight year old son.
Just added a magnetized Christmas decoration someone gave me...it'll never leave.
I have coupons for Pizza Hut and Hardees, a fortune cookie fortune that says "Youth is a gift of nature, middle age is a work of art", a fuzzy bunny sign that says "You suck and that's sad", and a sign that says:
