Is it sad that i get all giddy when i match something from that basket? :)))~Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437976653688457847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-86116046087263855612008-11-24T16:31:00.000-06:002008-11-24T16:31:00.000-06:00Gee, I have one of those missing sock baskets too!...Gee, I have one of those missing sock baskets too! It drives me crazy to imagine where all those missing socks have disappeared to. <BR/><BR/>But then I find a stray under the couch, behind a toy, in a purse, behind the computer, or some other interesting place. At least I haven't found any in the refrgerator. That would worry me. <BR/><BR/>But like April, I buy my little ones mostly white socks so at least we can usually find a match. When they do wear colored ones, I try to take them off right after school so they don't get lost. <BR/><BR/>It hasn't worked. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I still haven't folded my laundry!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256121948939552024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-69233395958856497702008-11-24T11:51:00.000-06:002008-11-24T11:51:00.000-06:00they are probably between the washing basket in th...they are probably between the washing basket in the washing machine and the outside hull of the machine. At least my brother found his after taking his machin apart for another reason. I suspect some of mine are in the towels attached by static cling. But since you have moved my bet would be in the washer.RamblingMotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148625565336724234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-11805031781484005122008-11-24T11:08:00.000-06:002008-11-24T11:08:00.000-06:00Wow!

Maybe if we use reverse psychology it would work.<BR/><BR/>I find the baby socks to be that absolute worst to go missing since they are small and for a while I used a laundry bag to put all of Emma's socks into when I took them off her feet. But the laundry bag was either in the monster mountain of unfolded laundry, or somewhere in the laundry room so it didn't last long. I get points for the good idea, but lose points for follow through.Denise Grover Swankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089120954470675439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-65386242560035919312008-11-24T10:45:00.000-06:002008-11-24T10:45:00.000-06:00I agree it has to be the aliens!

I am QUITE SURE there is a RAVENOUS SOCK MONSTER that comes and eats the socks only to leave us wondering...where they could be????? Especially the pretty ones that go with a special outfit! UGH! I hate matching and folding socks! But, a necessary thing...I need to suck it up and DO IT! :) <BR/><BR/>Another thing...what is the statute of limitations on HOW LONG to keep the socks without matches in hopes of finding the match...curious minds want to know!!!?<BR/>Have a blessed day!<BR/>JillJill from Killeny Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639521470702814007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-66039374787628343432008-11-24T05:56:00.000-06:002008-11-24T05:56:00.000-06:00Denise, maybe you have hit on something.

And MAYBE, just MAYBE someone will find their msising socks in another's basket. I have had one of those baskets for years. THen this past April when we moved again I just tossed it. It hurt,because I know those missing socks are going to turn up somewhere. But I didn't see them in your basket:(taritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110381366791358389noreply@blogger.com
