It's been a rough day.

Tonight blows goat

but showing the heel on the floor while getting over the toes is helpful. I'm having trouble raising my foot and reaching out.

Why the hell is that????

I even darn them and the holes just move over. To top it off - more and more people have visitors remove their shoes.

I don't much like them.

Because I live in Chicago.

...to get thru to my husband that underpants and dishtowels do NOT get washed in the same load. "But the water's hot," he would say. "Not nearly hot enough, " I would reply. Not unless you are a commercial laundry.

Until he got the message, I would rewash the dishtowels.

I figured I’d start a drawer for unmatched socks, and would cycle through that drawer with each load so that the drawer would maintain a dynamic equilibrium.

It is now full of socks.

Get with the program. (I am sure this is true because that's the only type my boys wear and they told me so.) Right?

I have always had issues with socks. I've never been terribly flexible in the first place, so I really don't like wearing them, and avoid them whenever possible.

Since I do a fair amount of cycling, and the whether has ranged from low 30's to mid 40's, getting the socks right is key, depending if I'm going to use foot warmers and/or shoe covers.

I have a few pairs of really nice socks, and then a bunch of "meh" socks for anything but cycling. But for business dress on days I'm not working at home, I have my pants cuffs set to break on my shoes. I'm fine as long as I don't have to sit where my ankles will be showing, since I don't have a single pair of dress socks that (a) fit and (b) match.

What I'm thinking of doing is getting rid of every sock I don't like, and not bothering to match any strays, and then just heading out and getting a dozen of the same identical casual socks, good ones, and calling it done.

Socks, I just tell them I have a pair just like them...somewhere.
And I'm cool too? I'll tell my teens that there is 1
More reason I'm the coolest dad.

I may throw them off the next bridge I cross

My feet are always cold, to the point of numb. I buy several pair of big wonderful socks, a couple times a year. They all get holes in the heels at the same time.

Poor feet.

just sorted my laundry. I found one matching pair and three singles.

It is a bunch of lint that got together and formed a sock like shape.

that there are indeed some problems in this life that aren't going to be solved anytime soon. Pick your fights.

They won't match though.

Cashmere/angora sleep socks. $10.49 for the lot.

I hope they keep my perpetually cold spastic feet warm!

I hate hate hate cold feet!

You have my sympathies!

Warmest ones out there are often made out of fleece but they don't allow much air to the skin just like most fleece doesn't.

out so well I did it again this year. They are thick and well made.

I have come to the conclusion that some, maybe many, dryers have a black hole in them which periodically sucks up a sock or something else that then shows up in someone else's dryer.

As proof, I offer this: Some years ago a towel that was not mine showed up in my dryer.

Some years later a pair of men's khaki pants showed up in the dryer. I asked the four males who lived in the house if it was theirs, and none of them claimed it, although one decided it fit him and took possession of the slacks.

I have various other stories of such anomalies.

Maybe it's the washers that are up to something nefarious and the socks never get to the dryer.

It's from when he was a little dude, and I have no idea why it suddenly showed up in the wash...

IF you'll go to my doctor's appointment for me at 2 today ADT.............

I'll probably wind up back in the hospital. At least spouse got me a decent phone...........

insert a bar of Ivory soap. Slip between the sheets...awesome small and help with restless leg syndrome. I swear to god it works for me.

Every sock I lose in the dryer turns into a lone tupperware lid in the dishwasher with no dish to match it to.

But at least all my socks match each other, so if I lose another one I can match it to the other odd sock. I don't wear socks in the warmer months. However, my socks only seem to last a season or two, I have to replace them pretty frequently. I am always getting holes in the toes. I should learn how to sew so I could get a little more wear out of them.

And I thought I was the ........"only one".......and I find out right here in the "General Discussion Forum"

Thank YOU.......Thank YOU..and Thank YOU.... for you
