Stuck On You (Or the Refrigerator)
May. 29th, 2025 09:57 pmGretchen has a pair of tongs that have been sitting on the kitchen countertop so that she can use them to grab the occasional thing that is on a high shelf. I find them *extremely* annoying because I don't use them and they are almost always between me and being able to open the microwave door.
A few days ago, I figured out that we could hang the tongs on a magnetic hook attached to the refrigerator, which is next to the countertop and mostly out of the way. And there was much rejoicing!
Gretchen ordered two of the hooks from Walmart and I figured that maybe I could use the extra hook to mount the new weather station that I had bought for Gretchen for Christmas to the opposite side of the refrigerator, so everyone could see it instead of having it buried in the incredible mountain of trash that our charging shelf has become. It was a great idea.
But the hook was the wrong shape to fit the keyhole on the back of the weather station. Rats. I went on Amazon, ordered four hooks of a different design (because they came in the handy four-pack), and now the weather station is *finally* in a place where we can easily see it.
The nation that controls magnetism will control the universe!
