Yeah Dnut, I think there is a special place in the universe for all the missing socks. I am just afraid when I pass on, my job will be to get them all back with their mates, So am trying to stick around here as long as I can, I am sure there is a missing flip flop area as well,

Shoe, weeds and Dahlia, ya'll just made my night.

I agree with leaving shoes outside the door though. Mine's usually because of the off-chance of a doggie bomb encounter.

And we should all get our extra socks together someday. Maybe they migrate?

I am cracking up reading this thread. I had to go back and read what the tip was.
I keep a pair of slip on Earth sandals indoors at the front door and one pair at the back door.

Hi Carey, I just feel all those socks have a purpose, because of the amount, Just hope I around when some super computer figures is all out, I will ask for you to be on my team,!!

One hopes they aren't building their own underground super-race bent on taking over the world!

Great tip! I too keep a pair at each door (that I admittedly try to go without until I realize my bare feet are not meant for a very hot trex back porch).

weeds said:Could we see a picture of you with shoes on, shoe? Ya know, like so we really KNOW.

This made me actually LOL! Thank you for the giggles.

Shelly for some reason, I find myself doing the SAME THING almost every day. Of course it's partially covered so I don't notice until I'm a few steps away from the door...YOWZERS!

Maybe........... those missing socks have become Sock Monkeys! I know that in cubits some people (now, would I be one of them?!?! not telling!) who are making stuffed toys for tots, and sock monkeys are one of the topics......

GREAT tip....

Can't wait to hear your story Shoe even if I have heard it, your stories are worth repeating many many times

Great tip! I always go barefoot outside in the summer so I do it kinda different.

I keep a rain barrel at each door to dip my muddy feet in before I come inside the house

Shoe: can't wait to hear your story too

A great tip, always a pair of flip flops by my back door until winter arrives.

I was always a barefoot person outdoors. Always had dirty feet. Always loved the feel of grass & dirt around my toes.

UNTIL I GOT CHICKENS!!

Dirt & mud may be fine between my toes, but chicken poop is not. Plus, I'd rather inside the house be the one place that chicken-poop free. So beside the backdoor is always at least 2 pairs of old slip on shoes that I wear religiously. One pair is flip-flops, the other is a pair of old tennis shoes with the backs cut off.

It's amazing how clean my feet are now.

"with the backs cut off"...

What a great idea. (I better go buy them blue sneakers....)

Shoe

AHA now I know where my t'other socks are. TallulahB is stealing them to make sock monkeys

I have flip flops by the door and crocks by the potting bench. Used to keep something by the glass door for when I had to go find the dog toys in the dog run, but the dogs kept grabbing them and haulin' butt

Meebe we should start callin' 'em tennis clogs.

Amazing the different sizes of sock monkeys I can make with all ur socks..........

I keep a pair of flip flops outside the patio door and walking shoes, as well, for the mornings when the ants are rearranging their homes all thru the garden. They bite with no warning and move faster then this gardener does !
