All this talk about socks makes me want to sock somebody!!

Hmm now working on a grocery list. Chanting "Make healthy choices"

It's hard to make healthy choices after a hard morning of matching socks. How about chicken breast? It's on sale at Zehrs.

You think matching socks at home is boring, try working in retail, sizing socks is supremely boring as bad or more boring than taking inventory.

You mean y'all aren't into "The Joy of Socks"?

My husband lost a pair of golf socks. Can't imagine where they wandered off to.

-7 this morn...

The dryer in our apartment complex ALWAYS eats at least 1 sock... either that or the gremlins take them...

Now Ruth ... that's funny!

Well, Susan.....I tried!

Well Ruth it worked because that was brilliant.

Did Julia ever come back? My answer was flippant and I didn't mean to make light of her busy life with kids and a house and a new job ...

Nah Susan that was funny! :D I did buy chicken (took out some stress making it SHAKE and bake) But if you are really feeling bad about making me sad...take a drive down Hwy 8...my floors need a scrub!:p:D

Thought this was a good NON topic!!


Did you know all this about coffee filters???






COFFEE FILTERS

Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing.


1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave.
Coffee filters make excellent covers.



2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.


3. Protect China
. Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.


4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.


5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.


6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.


7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.


8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.


9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.


10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent
the soil from going through the drainage holes.


11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.


12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.


13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them.
Soaks out all the grease.


14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."





OH YEAH THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS

Now I know the many uses of coffee filters. Fascinating stuff!

I had to go back and re-read Ruth's comment to figure out what was so funny about it. I didn't get it the first time, but I did the second time! DOES NOT TAKE ME LONG!

But what does that mean for us who get it quickly? Hmmm.

Ummmmm, it means we're a bunch of pervs.:o

:oMe? no way! :D:angel::D;)

Hey Karen, regarding #13, do you think if I put some in my pants pockets they would suck the lard out my butt?:devil:

And how many of you have read"Everything you wanted to know about socks but were afraid to ask?"

:rofl: You know I'm not sure if that would work or not!!! BUT I wouldn't try it out in public!!! :rofl: That is too funny!!

300 ...
 

... 200 to go.






[Note to self: Be sure to look up OCD to find out what that miner was talking about.]

OK! I'm sure you can try this with or without socks!!!


HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT? I could not believe this!!!

Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon...........
This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over

again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's
pre-programmed in your brain!
1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are
GOOFY......)

and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your
computer,
lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air
with your
right hand. Your foot will change direction. I told you
so!!!
And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know
how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try
it
again, if you've not already done so. Send it to your friends to
frustrate them too!

Just did!

Sox Addicts
 

Thanks for the link to the Dave Barry column, Julia.

Seems like this group is getting as sox-addicted as a bunch of hormone driven middle schoolers.

On the other hand, Sox addiction begins every spring around Boston's Fenway Park, so I feel at home.


[Note to self: They've all forgotten the purpose of this thread is to be the last poster. Victory will be mine.]

Way To Go, Julia!!! Getting your man to do laundry and a send up in a Dave Barry column for doing it. Oh no, you're not a perv. You're our sweet little angle.:s:

Lol thanks for reminding BILLBlueEyes

I wish I had someone to wash my floors.

:s:I think the plan was to get YOU distracted Bill by the conversation. :joker:

Susan since you were a no show last night.:( I will be scrubbin' my floors after the kids go to school!:p:D

Has anyone seen socks in the city?

Why yes I have. :D
Isn't it weird that people in the city, on farms and in towns and don't forget those country folk.. they all were socks, especially in the colder months. :D ;) :dizzy: :p

country folk here... nice thick socks... mmmmmmmmm

This thread has gone downhill and is picking up speed fast.

Nothing wrong with going downhill every now and then Bargoo. ... heck I like sledding downhill. Never knew a person to sled uphill. Hehehehe...

Slipping and sliding downhill on my socks!

I do love Dave Barry and Julia isn't a nutcase! She's just like SusanB and me - although live in the banana belt of Ontar-i-ar-i-ario! There's an ear worm for us all.

I'm killing time waiting for an expensive dog trainer to come and tell me all the things I'm doing wrong. I may just kill her and let the dogs eat her - socks and all!

Our dog hates being left home alone! He has figured out how to open the fridge. Came home one day to the fridge wide open and an empty 2lb tube of ground beef on the floor! He also likes to leave us "poop/piss on you" gifts. In the same spot each time out side the bath room door. If he would just get alittle closer to the toilet! lol but then he give me the big brown eyed sad beagle look and hes won again!

never tried downhill skiing...

JulianDH my cat pees and poos next to the toilet. And then she gives us a "I-DIDN'T DO IT, HONESTLY!" look

I used to be a ski instructor.

I don't know, bad ankles and knees may not mix with down hill skiing

I have an idea... :D :p :smug: :)




Lets all meet up, and see how many of us fit on a big ole tobaggan and go doooooooooowwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn a big ole hill. We'll have to make it for next week, as for traveling and getting a scheduled day off. Heck we'll even let Operator blow something up and move all the dirt it forms in a big ole pile, hopefully we'll get fresh snow the same day. LOL!




(and no I am not crazy... you all wish you thought of this ;))

They don't. I have bad knees from years of downhill skiing. I haven't actually skied for over 20 years. Golf is more forgiving for us old folks.

Does 45 count as old?
