But then of course one forgets to go thru the bag all the time looking for mates. I tried buying always the same kinds of socks and when one got a hole threw it out but that didn't work either.

John, on the other hand, leaves/hides stragglers in his drawer, so the return doesn't occur until I go into his drawer in search of the mate once the pile gets "too big"! I don't hold out much hope for you guys coming to common agreement on what to do with the stragglers, but I've had a good giggle to begin the day. Have fun with the Easter sock hunt, Julie! I love you guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
