Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by Redd on Apr 24th, 2008, 8:55pm I thought I trained the kids to that job, but alas... I haven't worn a pair of sock that wasn't self matched at the time of need from the sock basket...(shhhh...and sometimes I still wear mis-matched socks because it was too dark) |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by George_J on Apr 24th, 2008, 9:10pm The kid doesn't match up her socks. I don't think she has a single pair of matched socks. Personally, I think the mates to all her mismatched socks have simply vanished into the black maw of her lair--but she says she does it deliberately because she likes to wear them that way. ::) Edit to add: BTW, on the opposite end of the spectrum, I once knew a guy who was so OCD that he believed that there were right and left socks. He got quite upset when I disagreed. Best, George |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by barry_sword on Apr 24th, 2008, 9:17pm I am doing laundry right now and I just bet there will be one sock missing when I am done. :-/ The dryer is done, time to check! ::) |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by cynjeep89 on Apr 24th, 2008, 9:19pm I put six pair of socks in the washer and then into the dryer. I now have four pair of socks and two single unmatched socks. I am convinced that there is a black hole in my dryer. |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by AlienSpaceGuy on Apr 24th, 2008, 9:54pm Does anybody remember Todd? (Where the heck is he?) He had a solution to avoid the tedious chore of sorting out matching socks: Before throwing the dirty socks into the laundry hamper he fasten them together with a safety pin. [smiley=smokin.gif] |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by Rosybabe on Apr 24th, 2008, 10:24pm I always miss socks somewhere between the washer and the drier...I guess I should start looking behind those machines... they have not been moved since they were connected, who knows what is behind..maybe all my lost socks ;) |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by cynjeep89 on Apr 24th, 2008, 10:28pm Gee, I wonder what would have happened if I had pinned my ex-husband to one of the single socks? Poof???? Should have tried it for my ex mother-in-law, too. Hmmmmm.....I might be on to something here? |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by cash5542 on Apr 24th, 2008, 10:42pm I just folded all of my whites and matched up my socks but there is a navy blue sock that came out of nowhere! I think Cyn, that when they disappear, they just may come back. They are hiding lurking inthe dryer waiting for the right time to reappear! Charlotte |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by Langa on Apr 24th, 2008, 11:23pm I swear Mel, you just cracked me up. Damn...i'm jealous...I have about 5 socks that are missing their partner. At this point I'm thinking they it's legal separation and they don't want to match up again. :P Langa |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by DonnaH_again on Apr 24th, 2008, 11:32pm Socks don't really like feet, so they cling to the inner circle of the top of the washer during the last spin. Then the next time you wash you end up with an extra sock. And the cycle starts again next time you wash. |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by Charlie on Apr 25th, 2008, 1:10am I used to have nothing but Burlington OTC socks with the green or blue stripe at the toes. I wasn't fussy about matching the blue or green stripes. Damn, I wish I could find more of them. All seriousness aside, I have brown/blue/black socks that get along fine. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/yoyo.gif Charlie |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by ClusterChuck on Apr 25th, 2008, 2:04am A few hints about socks: I only buy 100% cotton socks ... keeps my feet from stinking so bad that I would pass out from the smell when I took my shoes/sneakers off ... When I buy socks, I buy about a dozen or two dozen at a time, of the same style, so that it is easier to match them up ... When you have an odd sock, or one that is left of a pair, due to holes, etc, did you know that they make EXCELLENT rags? Ya can stick your hand right in it, and use it then! I love sock rags! - - - - - - - - - - - - Just an idea here ... but MAYBE there is a time warp, or something, so that when one sock goes missing from MY dryer, it shows up in someone else's dryer, and vice versa? Maybe we all ought to all bring our odd socks to the next convention, and try to make pairs again? Chuck |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by purpleydog on Apr 25th, 2008, 2:20am Sometimes, I end up with one sock, and I hold onto it. Sometimes the other one will show up, and once in awhile, it doesn't. And if one had a hole in it, and I had others that matched, I'd throw out the one with a hole in it, then end up with one sock not matching, so now, if one goes, the pair goes, so I'm not looking for it, or waiting around, wondering if I threw it out... ::) Although, your idea, Chuck, is good. Make rags out of them. I can think of lots of uses for them, now that you mention it. |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by sandie99 on Apr 25th, 2008, 2:33am About 99 per cent of my socks are black. I deliberately bought just black socks from the very same store and the very same brand to able to avoid mismatching them. But, still, I end up with several socks with the wrong pair! ;;D Sanna |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by Redd on Apr 25th, 2008, 9:05am I too think Chuck is on to something with the time warp thing. I've come up with socks in the baskets that I KNOW don't belong to me or the offspring. And sometimes undies too... Those get tossed right in the trash. |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by jimmers on Apr 25th, 2008, 10:34am About 3 months ago I had to buy a new washing machine. When my Son and I carried out the old one and finally got it outside, we tipped it over to slide it throught the snow to put by the curb. When I walked back into the house past the spot where we tipped it, Lo and Behold there were 3 socks laying there! My theory is that some of the socks don't like the spin cycle and they crawl over the top rim of the drum and hide. :D Jimmers |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by cash5542 on Apr 25th, 2008, 11:19am So how many of us are going to go home and move our dyers? I know I am. But then again what will I do with the MIA socks that I have learned to live without. Oh yeah, puppets and rags ;) I teach elementary art so everyone can send me your sock singles. Imagine all of the puppets I could make! Charlotte |

Title: Re: There's nothing like the satisfaction... Post by Charlie on Apr 25th, 2008, 8:14pm Then again, I find a sock or two hiding under the piles of lint around the dryer..... :o If you fill an old one full of quarters, it makes a good self-defensive device. Charlie |

There is nothing quite so satisfactory, Nor quite so satisfyingly scratchy, As my odd woolen willy warmer On a frosty morning. O, you might say--why that is nothing But a stripe'd sock conscripted To serve an intimate duty for which It was never intended. A desolate dryer refugee, Poignant in its solitude, Secluded now in a secret place, Where it keeps my willy warm. But I say that my lovely woolen warmer Is a talisman that someone cares That my willy stays snug, And braves not the winter willy-nilly. |
