Ever loose 1/2 of something like half a pair of shoes, socks, etc?

i'm always loosing one sock. especially when it comes to my babies socks. everyone in my house just always ends up wearing mismatched socks. every once in awhile we are lucky and find a pair that still matches.

The main thing that I always seem to lose one of is socks. What do I do with the other one? I usually keep it for a long time and when I finally never come across the match to it I just throw the other one away. I have no need for the sock then, so that is why I get rid of it.

I do this all the time. One of my ex assistants use to say that my socks got stolen by a sock gnome.Apparently there these little creatures who steal your socks and take them back to their hollow tree to make a nest out of them. I also lost one shoe once, I have no idea where it went or how it left the house. But I know I looked everywhere and it wasn't here.

The only way to find the missing lens is to throw away the rest of the glasses and the missing lens will immediately show up.

hello..i have several times about loose 1/2 of a paire socks.i hang them outside to dry them and after one night when i go to pick them one has gone and only one remains there, now in my wardrobe there are several socks which can't match eachother, thery only can show how many pairs of socks i have lost by the wind... now the wind still crying out side...oh.

This reminds me of George Carlin. "When you die and go to heaven everything you lost you get back, except your virginity because you were in such a hurry to lose that in the first place." teehee

I lose socks. I think there must be another dimension in the dryer, that sucks in the other sock. Maybe someone on LOST island will wander around and come upon a bunch of socks and say "How did these get here?" I have never lost anything more. I mean it is hard to lose a shoe, and I have lost a whole thing, and then I found out that someone else borrowed it or it showed up eventually. But socks, you look silly wearing unmatched socks.

I've never lost half a pair of shoes, as generally when I take off my shoes, they're put away or left together. Now socks! I've lost countless socks in the past and still do now, the easiest way around it for me is to buy 5 packs of the same colour socks so if I lose half a pair, I've still got 9 others LOL! Gosh I hope you find your lens from your glasses soon, that's quite an expensive item to have to replace as far as I know. Going back to your sentence above "...it fell out at a friend's house and we retraced our steps, could we find it..." erm were you wearing the glasses when the lens fell out? Cos, if so, did you not notice it not being there? x

I just hang on to spare socks because I'll lose another and can then match it to one of the spares never lost the lens to my glasses, tho I did have one that fell out, finally had to get new glasses after the car accident!

Hmm..have to throw some levity in here! LOST---half my life, my other half (as in husband)....but you know, in both instances...I KEPT the BETTER halfs! The better half of my life is yet to be lived, and the better half of the union, was me, and I kept that in tact! Socks...yup, always in washer & dryer...they are fondly known as PWP's in my home (parents without partners)! Owner a German Shepherd dog, once "Cola" and she stole and hid "one shoe, boot or slipper".....I think she knew I couldn't go anywhere without both! Found them all the day I moved, in the crawlspace under the house, but, alas, I had already thrown the other one's out! Here, in B.C. the Lion's Club do have a program for re-cycled perscription glasses, even with one lens...! Worst thing in the world is to lose your glasses...how do you look for them..without glasses? Have a great one, m'dear!

Just what is it about socks!! I am always losing socks. I know ,when I put them into the washing machine there are two of each of them. But why when the wash is over, that I am missing some of them. There must be some kind of black hole in my machine or something. I think I will take your advice and make some sock puppets

nice question. i liked it! yes i a pair of two different socks and found them eventually after months of lot search

I have soooo many single shoes and I don't think I own socks that have mate. lol. My solution is to buy only one brand of socks so that way I don't have too much trouble matching them. I have a few pairs of earrings that only have one of. Who knows where they've gone. With a 6 year old running around everywhere it's hard to tell where anything is!

It is a known fact especially for people with children, that the washing machine eats socks and spits them back out at a later date..lol.. When my kids were young, I was always losing socks in the washer, so I thought. I kept a bag where I would throw odd socks and about once a month, I would empty it and match up pairs...Low and behold, there would be many!!!

This might sound crazy but I don't recall every losing a sock or lens from my glasses. I misplace things all the time but eventually find the item. If I lost a lens in my glasses, I would be walking into walls and wouldn't be able to drive myself anywhere. I have an extra pair but like you, they are an old prescription. I have worn contact lenses for 42 years and have never lost one. I've never broken a pair of glasses either. Guess I am just careful and pay close attention when it comes to my eyes because my vision is so poor. Your story is almost funny but I just can't force myself to laugh. Did you find the lens?

i am always loosing socks. sometimes our daughters are only bringing one down to be washed and i swear that my washer or dryer eats socks. one thing i hate is that we have so many shoes and it takes forever to find the other shoe (we have a smallish bookcase in our shoe/coat closet and each person has a shelf but my daughters are famous for just chucking their shoes in and not putting them on their shelf!)

My jewelry is not as organized as I would like it to be. So, I often end up misplacing 1 earring. That can get pretty annoying, especially when it's a pair I really like. I have even thrown an earring out, only to find it's matching one months later! So, I don't throw them out anymore, I just try to save it back and when the other one turns up, I've got another pair of earrings! I like your idea about making puppets out of single socks. Take care.

I think my washer or my dryer eats socks, so I have a bunch of socks that I cannot find matches for. Also, I have managed to lose one of my bedroom slippers. I have no clue what happened to the other one, but I can't find it anywhere. I thought my dogs may have had something to do with the disappearance of my slipper, but I have looked everywhere they usually stash things, and it is nowhere to be found. I have looked everywhere I can think of, and that slipper is NOT in this house as far as I can tell. I have no clue what happened to it...

i do it all the time especially with my daughters stuff..i lose shoes and socks etc. i have lost my glasses before but i have contacts so it wasent that big of a deal..but i know if i didnt have my contacts i know i would have been screwed cause i would be looking all day for them cause i wouldnt be able to see anything..but thank goodness our house isent that big and i found them.
