Absorption Refrigerator question
I know if you lay one on it's side you need to leave it upright for 24hrs. before starting it back up. Will it do any harm to leave it on it's side for a couple of weeks.

No. Just like a dissolved acetylene bottle, you can lay it on it's side (or in the case of the fridge) upside down for any length of time but, like the acetylene bottle it needs to be in an upright position for a period of time to allow the stuff inside to settle into it's operational position.
In fact, if it's an older fridge, turning it up side down might be a good idea as it will allow the refrigerant to move around and if it is developing any blockage inside it may loosed the blockage. The chemical mix inside can form into a solid after extended usage.
