[Magdalen] Appliances was Medical update (& honestly, getting' a little scary).

[Marion Thompson]

I'm perfectly happy with white, but my daughter and her partner shopped 
for me at Sears and, therefore, I am now all stainless steel.  Except 
the laundry machines upstairs, which thankfully are white.  Have you 
noticed that stainless steel actually means aluminium?  If it doesn't, 
whatever they're made of  it's not magnetic.  How the heck is one 
supposed to post stuff on the fridge????
