Renai Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hooray, I made it! I was going to post something else, but I saw the chance and had to act fast. Now, what was I going to say?... Dh always says that if you forget, it was going to be a lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Dh always says that if you forget, it was going to be a lie. Huh, well he's wrong. I just had to go back through the right door to remember. There have been studies showing that memory is often tied to places. That's why if you forget something while going from one room to another you will usually remember if you go back through the correct door. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 But your previous post said you only had a few hundred posts, and you have posted here quite a lot (much to our enjoyment and edification!), so I just thought you figured out that this rightly is the best thread of them all and concentrated the distillation of your wisdom here, for best effect. Are you telling me I was in error? Oh, horror! You are forgiven. It is true, you have all received a fine distillation of my wisdom in these hallowed halls of the Ignore thread. But do not be deceived, Plebeians; in the vineyard of my wisdom, you have been blessed with only a taste, a mere drop, of the wine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need one for Likes, for when we run out of likes.

Another Lynn Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I have decided that having a basket full of unmatched socks for a child to dig through to find a pair of matching socks when he tells me he doesn't have any socks is really just a way of working on life skills not an actual laundry fail on my part. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 PSA on a serious topic: I just updated my signature (below) with an important video everyone should watch -- another thread reminded me to share this again. Drowning doesn't look like people expect it to. Drowning people cannot call for help. Please watch the video. After you have done that we can resume the fun.

Not a laundry fail at all! I don't know of ANYONE who hasn't ended up with missing or mismatched socks at some point. The lonely sock box is a life necessity. I told the kids at one point that it was a mini-playground for socks missing their mates, and they took to going through it regularly to play with the socks and match them up so they (the socks) could discuss the fun they had as they went home to bed in the drawer. Too bad that age/phase didn't last! Need to declutter your lonely sock collection but feel guilty about just throwing them out? Longer socks can be filled with baking soda and tied off for placement in shoes to help ward off odor. You can also make sock puppets, sock monkeys, let kids make their own "mismatched" pairs (a fad that comes and goes quite frequently), and/or use them as "cleaning mitts". One lady I knew in my youth unraveled worn out socks for stuffing for rag dolls and stuffed animals. Use them as packing material for fragile items (put glasses or jars inside of socks as added padding). Or just decide you aren't going to feel guilty about getting rid of stuff no one will use again and just dump them all in the trash. I finally had to do this latter one, and now my lonely socks are all quickly found and matched with their mates again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Sorry, I did not explain well. The basket is not full of loners or mismatches. The basket is full of every clean sock in the house (except mine, lol). They must dig through the basket to find two socks that match. (In other words I did not match up the socks when they came out of the dryer; I just left them all in one basket). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she pushes them onto the floor, she will die. I have given up on DH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 :grouphug: Hoping for the best for your dad. Thanks to all for the support. It really does not look good at all. My DH took him Wednesday to the big university specialist eye clinic and three different doctors seen him. The consensus is nothing could be done, and he is to go back this coming Wednesday to see if the optic nerve should be lasered (severed) or if eye should be removed. I want him to see the doctor that done the cornea transplant just to make absolutely sure. So we go in the morning. This doctor is closer than the university doctors, but still about 50-60 miles away. And the twins will be coming with us. Fun day:D We will take lots of good books to read, and maybe there will be a poster of eyeball anatomy.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
