Refrigerator Madness

Since when do two people, living in a small cape cod style house need three refrigerators?

Guess. 

Normal humans have one - things go in, come back out and get eaten and so forth. With my wife, things go in, get entirely forgotten and get pushed to the back by newer, soon-to-be-forgotten things.

Then there is the "bar" fridge. An undercounter number, all of 8 feet away from the main fridge, is where we store all our sodas, juices and such. (Actually, I like it because it keeps my Moxie cold).

Finally, the garage fridge. It, too, has a specific function: It stops the car when I pull in. No, seriously, the freezer compartment keeps those freezer pack thingies at the ready, and the main area stores flowers while my wife is making arrangements (Garden Club stuff and such). To be honest, it is also an easy place to toss recent grocery purchases temporarily, being so much closer to the car and all.

This setup probably costs me a zillion dollars in electric bills.

But I get some fun out of it - I steal things from the main fridge and put them in the garage fridge, just waiting for my wife to miss them.

Never happens. We curmudgeouns have such a talent for fun.

P.S. Why is there a "d" in fridge, but none in refrigerator? These things keep me up at nights.
