October 30th is National Haunted Refrigerator Day… (cue scary music – lol)

Have you ever looked in your refrigerator, and what you see convinces you that your refrigerator must be haunted!

What you thought was there is gone, and what is left isn’t considered to be edible. Just miserable pieces of cheese, a celery rib, a slice of bacon, a tomato.

The two carrots looking at you are small. There’s about a cup of milk left 4 eggs and a couple of cooked potatoes. 2 bowls of leftovers.

The refrigerator looks ugly & haunted today.

Don’t panic! You can survive…until tomorrow.
