Magical Socks Appear

Suspenders are what holds up the stockings. *Rummage, rummage*

Oh OK, I know what you mean now. I don't think I have used that kind. You can rummage for whatever but you won't find those, haha.

Hey I never said I didn't have any stockings, but suspenders? They are for men aren't they? At least I thought so. *Kicks Orson out of my drawers*

Ya, we used the basket for many years. George was great wasn't he?

Definetly one of the greats, I was sad when I heard he passed away so suddenly.

The basket idea is good too. I have no room for another one here though. I think George Carlin was one of the funniest comics ever lived. He was great.

A long time ago my sister and I had more of an "antique" dresser, it had a mirror on it too but I think we took that off. It was long and short, so it did take up space, but it did have a lot of storage too. We had our bunkbeds (stacked atop each other of course) the dresser and that was about it. We had the t.v. on top of the dresser. It was a semi big room though as our room has the washer / dryer hook up.

Mine has the mirror still in tact, I wish I could have gotten other things of my Aunt's too at the time but there was a greedy person who did what she wanted with the things and took most others. Supposedly she had a ton of money and even checks still laying around that she never even bothered to cash cause she really didn't need them. Sheesh. Here we were in my dad's house when we were kids struggling with every penny and they had my dad buy a house from them awhile back from that time. I was teased at school for not having the right clothes, and other things that everyone else had. It kind of makes me angry to thin of it still to this day but oh well, it's long gone now those days.

What an idea! My kids just throw socks everywhere after use, they don't even go into the hamper in pairs anymore...

Yes I have heard about those safety pins and how it has been suggested to use one of those to keep socks together. I have just never been motivated to use them, I keep worrying about the extra work or losing them. I should just keep some handy and see what happens. I have a few pairs I reeeeeeally hate to loose.

I just don't understand why she thinks she has a right to throw any of your clothes out at all. That just isn't right. It's insane.She does have issues, and I'm sorry to hear it but so does mine. I thought of another term to describe mine and it is called deprivation abuse where she lets my adult brother do whatever he wants here and have this or that, and just does the opposite of me basically. She will make up ridiculous reasons for her doing it too, like because I didn't have many friends growing up or something to that effect. She actually said that to me one day when we were arguing. Cause I didn't have this or that. Then one day she told me I don't have anything (going for me I suppose she meant)! I have no idea why she thinks she is entitled to emotional abuse people. My dad and I have heard so much abuse from her over the years. My brother did when he was young, physical stuff like threats mostly but she seems to feel guilty over that now which is nothing of my fault so I don't have anything to do with it but makes me feel like I do. ??!! I am thinking it is the dementia or Alzheimer's sometimes but perhaps she is that dumb/bullyish as well.

I don't use a dryer here. The rest of the family does but everytime I use it it usually blows a fuse so I stopped on my own. I hang them up on the line, which is more work but I guess it's fine for me.

LOL, just like magic, yep. It's a wonderful trick.

Typical boys, one of them is the most neatest and the youngest. That is so funny. At least one of them knows the importance of matched socks. Baskets do work, I should get one as soon as some of this junk is cleared away here. Your sons are cool when they don't care if their socks match, maybe they just aren't judged at school or care enough to take the time to be "perfect".

Those baskets do come in handy, only if I had a place to put those here. I try not to let anything go to waste here either and if I do by accident I get upset about it. I should throw 'some' of my very old and worn socks out as they do take up some room in my dresser and really don't need them now.

In warmer countries people don't usually use socks much, that is true. I thnk your sister's idea is perfect though. I have some hopeless ones here too and when the occasion frayed and holey unmatched sock appears I occasionally throw one out, but it's rare LOL.

No I never wear those socks when going to school or work either, that wouldn't be a nice form of attire at all. I wear them at home alot cause I work at home and so it's fine that way. Haha, yea some mothers will find any excuse to tell their kid to wear what they wear in their own ways. Awe, I'm sure it wasn't that bad though wearing those socks. I wore high waters to school a few times and was teased for that. Pants that just weren't long enough for my legs that is, and I remember one girl saying "Where's the flood?" so many times. She was a bully. I disliked her very much and still think she's a jerk even if it was when we were kids.
