I don't know about your house, but at
ours the refrigerator - a basic white job with a freezer on top
- serves as a communication and scrapbook center to such a degree
it would
actually make sense for some company like John Deere or Whole Earth
Foods to buy ad space on it.
Family Central!
The members of our household spend more time looking at the fridge than they
do the newspaper, television, and internet combined. Not just in and out grabbing
milk or eggs or raw cookie dough, either! I'm talking about checking the fridge
for messages, checking the conversion chart, checking to see if there're any
coupons stuck up under the rooster
magnet, checking the daily chore assignment, checking the internet-fed balance
of the IRA accounts beamed wirelessly to our Fridge Wealth-ometer.
Okay, you got me, we don't really have a wireless Wealth-ometer. But the rest
of it, and more, is all there pictures from third and fourth cousins, kids' homework
(the good days only), colored drawings, Cub Scout calendars, gymnastics schedules
... we need a bigger fridge.
Wouldn't it be frightening if we really could see our net worth at a glance
by looking at a display on the fridge? Talk about a diet. Discover insolvency
on the way to grabbing a slice of cheese? I'd rather starve.
Join the Family!
At any rate, we here at Farmers' Almanac TV are dedicating one of our old Frigidaires
to the show so that contributors like yourself can send in family photos (farm,
pets, kids, nature), pictures the kids colored, hints, tips, recipes, and whatnot
for us to stick up there with rooster
magnets or tape or glue (staples won't work) to create a fridge experience
for all of us.
Receive a Welcome Gift!
Wouldn't it be cool to tune into Farmers Almanac TV and see your contribution
on our icebox? If we do post your sure-to-be-wonderful contribution on our fridge,
we'll send you a special something welcoming you to the family.
Don't Delay! Send Now!
Here's Why!
We want to make sure you're represented on the family fridge before our first
episodes air (mid-July, we're hoping). Make our pilot episode and get an extra-extra-special
gift from us.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've just noticed that the to-do list on our fridge
says I should feed the kids. You would think my wife would trust me to feed them
without the little prompt; but, hey, nothing wrong with a gentle reminder when
it comes to avoiding the starvation of your offspring. Gotta have someone around
to receive all those IRA windfalls!
