Thanks Cloven! Nice job!
Today’s Question:
How many (if any) fridge magnets do you have (roughly-it needn’t be an exact count)? It would be hard to say because, along with regular fridge magnets, I also have a set of German language magnets that you can use to create sentences.
Were they ones you bought/chose yourself-or ones that were given to you, either by friends or businesses? Again it would be hard to say because the business magnets got chucked in the trash right away, and I couldn't even estimate how many there have been. My guess is that I have probably received more than I've bought. Just recently I received a set of vintage San Francisco-themed magnets as a Christmas gift.
Do you have artwork or photos on (outside of) your fridge door? No, although I have done that in the past. Extra Credit:
Do you have a pen which advertises a company/product (other than brand name of the pen)? Yes, several.
Do you use Post-It (sticky) notes? Not as often as I used to, but I still use them.
If so, which size/color/shape? Various colors; mostly rectangular. I have some shaped like my first initial which were a gift from a friend. Because of the shape, they're not very practical.
Do you use them at work, at home, or both places? Home
Bonus:
Have you tried golden/yellow raisins (called sultanas or currants in different countries) ?
Yes, they are an ingredient in my Christmas cake recipe, and they are also good in salads. Just for Fun:
Can you throw-and/or catch-a frisbee? Yes, as long as you don't stand too far away from me when you throw it.
Have you played badminton or table tennis/ping-pong? Yes, both. I love table tennis, but I'm awful at badminton.

Just for Fun:
Can you throw-and/or catch-a frisbee ? - Haven't done it in a while but sure.
Have you played badminton or table tennis/ping-pong ? - Badminton - not since mid-teens. Ping-pong - last time was when I was in my early 20s.
Today’s Question:
How many (if any) fridge magnets do you have (roughly-it needn’t be an exact count) ?
We have quite a lot- well over 50- from various places that we used to visit. We haven't been getting them for years now as the new fridge is not magnetic. They're on a board in the utility room.

Almost all are travel ones from the US, Europe and elsewhere.

Extra Credit:

Just for Fun:
Can you throw-and/or catch-a frisbee ? Haven't for a while, but yes.
