Poor, poor, poor Alldone. She has a hole in her sock. Where her big toe is.
She can't swap the socks on her feet. And, heaven forbid that she should take them off!
So there is a pity party being held right now (and I expect that it will continue for a long time). Alldone is bringing ice cream. I am eating ice cream. Gardenergirl is bringing root beer.
Come one, come all!
Poor, Alldone!!

Yep, I'm in. I'll even demonstrate the creative twisting and hooking over my toe I used to do when I got holes in my kneesocks as a girl.
Of course now I'm wondering if we couldn't afford new socks or if my mom didn't know about the holes because of the twisty thing I did. hmmmm
But yes, it's very sad. We must indulge.

Ah the old twist and hook mano*ver
I remember that.No, it's not auto-asterisking gone mad, I just can't remember how to spell mano*ver
I would like to come too please.
but I only have oatmeal to bring.
The good thing about oatmeal is that it goes a long way
The bad thing about oatmeal is that it goes a long way
I'm tired of oatmeal

((((falls)))),
How sweet of you! :)
This whole sock thing has me really torn up. (Ha - "whole", "torn up"...I crack myself up sometimes!) I can't seem to keep my toe covered up no matter how hard I try. It's exhausting me. I really need to see your trick, gg.
I'm so lucky to have friends that understand and are willing to eat ice cream to help me feel better. Or wait, maybe you're just friends looking for a reason to eat ice cream? ;) ;) Either way, I'm glad you're all here with me until I can get a decent pair of socks on. I'm a wreck.
Just so you know, these are...well, were cute socks. Black with tiny pink flowers around the top and heel.
My dog eats my socks sometimes. That's not what happened here, this was a freak of nature. I hate when she does that, though. I like socks. I spend hours shopping for socks sometimes and then I wear them once before she finds them and destroys them. I think it's when she's mad at me, but I don't know what I did to make her mad. Maybe it was that time I put a bow in her hair.
One time, my T wore socks that I thought might be women's socks. That bothered me. I didn't tell him, though.
Oh, and one time, my cousin said she wanted socks for her birthday (you know, in the era when we wore at least two pair in coordinating colors slouched down under our pants that were folded over and rolled up at the ankles - you know what I'm talking about, gg. Don't pretend you don't). Anyway, my mom bought her at least twenty pairs and wrapped them individually for everyone to give her before her "real" presesnts. I was so jealous. Great colors like neon green and fuchsia. Okay, okay, it was 1985 or something.
I only own a few pairs of white socks for the gym. Oooh, and I wore a fuzzy purple pair last night when I was watching TV. I love soft, fuzzy socks, but only for in the house. Generally, most of my socks are black or gray with some design. I wonder if my T hates it when he has to look at my dog socks.
Sometimes, I have to take my socks off in the house because I've fallen down my carpeted stairs four too many times while wearing socks.
Oh, and my husband takes his socks and folds them in half to put them away. I roll one of them over so they get "stuck" together. I'll demonstrate after gg. He's wrong the way he does it, BTW.
I think those are all my sock stories.
And of course I can't wear my socks on the wrong feet. I don't know exactly what you were thinking when you suggested that horror, falls, but I love you for trying. And for throwing me a party because I have a hole in my sock. :)
Enjoy the ice cream, everyone!! And thanks for coming!
Laurie, way too serious about socks
P.S. Once I wore two different shoes to work, but that's another story for another day.

Darned undarned socks.
Wholly holey socks
Worst worsted socks
Argyll argyle socks
Socks with holes,
Socks with runs,
Socks with pulls,
Socks with tears.
Tears for socks with tears.
Cheers for socks repaired.
Old socks,
Blue socks,
Let's buy new socks.If I had the Dr. Seuss Book, I would have posted a part. As it is, you've got naught but my imagination at the end of the day.

I do so love a good pity party. I'll wear dingy mismatched blacks and uncombed hair. I'll bring a half-empty bottle of warm Diet Tab. I won't be eating ice cream because I don't really deserve any.

>I really need to see your trick, gg.
I'll show you, but I'm not sure it works on anything but knee socks.

> Oh, and my husband takes his socks and folds them in half to put them away. I roll one of them over so they get "stuck" together. I'll demonstrate after gg. He's wrong the way he does it, BTW.OMG, are you me? I have slipped on the carpet on the stairs and fallen down. My husband says to wear shoes, but I hate shoes. I say take the carpet up on the stairs and leave the hardwood. He thinks that will be worse, but the carpet is so worn, I'm not sure my feet can tell if they miss the step a bit. Whereas with hardwood, I think my feet would benefit from that additional sensory input.
And my husband does the same thing with his socks!!!!! And you're right, it's just WRONG! I do what you do. At least I've trained him to put my socks the way I like. He can do whatever with his socks. Silly man.
And for someone who's never been all that fond of the foot, herself (giggle, giggle, giggle), you sure have a lot to say about socks. :)

My husband...though he is an amazing father...has taught our son to take his socks off, put his feet in front of the dog's nose, and say, "want some toe jam, Mabel?"
And then, they look over at me and giggle.
They drive me bananas!!
But I still love 'em. :)

I completely agree. I think the best solution is hardwood with no socks. Hardwood with socks = disaster. Carpet with socks = four falls and two trips to the ER. Carpet with no socks = well, nevermind. No matter how you look at it, I have no balance, coordination, or ability to sense the end of the stairs.
> And my husband does the same thing with his socks!!!!! And you're right, it's just WRONG! I do what you do. At least I've trained him to put my socks the way I like. He can do whatever with his socks. Silly man.D has me trained to fold his socks the way he likes. He just throws mine in a pile for the dog to find. :(

>
> ggYou're right. I'm not a fan of the foot. Therefore, it needs to be covered properly and fashionably. :)
