And that is what completely impressed me.

I am here in solidarity to protest the footlet.

(I have nothing to add when it comes to socks. I go barefoot or wear flip flops/sandals with my shorts and t shirts, even when going out at night in November. I could get used to this.)

How many socks rest beneath the ankle? And look at this:

It might be wearing a sign but in what world is that a sock?

Our world is only a tiny spec of what's in the Universe.

Maybe footlets are all the rage on Saturn.

You don't know.

All I see when I see that house slipper is warmth.

<--has poor circulation

Which is kind of weird (to call a slipper a beddie), because you don't where slippers IN the bed.

She also calls a vaccuum cleaner a sweeper. Which of course makes no sense.

She calls taking the dog out to pee, "watering the dog".

My mother has problems.

Slipper socks can be worn to bed.

Calling a vacuum a sweeper is not strange. It's generational and regional.

Some people call water fountains bubblers.

Also this convo is my first ever introduction to the word "footlet" and already it's annoying me. This sock needs to be renamed, if only for the sake of my sanity...

A forced footlet.

So sad.

Where I grew up we called it a bubbla.
I been outta there almost eleven years and I still drop my Rs

And unless they have changed the meaning of adding "let" to the end of a word on Saturn, footlet would still be a dumb and annoying word.

No socks but in honor of Sesame Street's birthday I dug these out of the closet to match my cookie monster boxers.

Hoping for cookies.

*tosses Tick a cookie* Those are very cute, non-disturbing slippers!

Yesterday: black and white striped ankle socks (NOT footlets) with pink around the ankle and a Helloy Kitty face on top

It's been much cooler lately so I've been wearing two pairs of socks at a time since almost all of my socks (procurred in TX and FL) are thin. For work, I put the simple, one tone socks on the outside and for play, I put them on the inside of the colored and/or patterned socks.

Yesterday, I had cornflower blue inside and white with black polka dots and orange, blue and pink flowers outside.

Sounds very fun, Gemme! You are a good sock example.

I am a terrible sock example. My sockage has been horrendous.

Today: so far bare feet
Yesterday: UNPLANNED mismatched socks because I'm not at home an couldn't fin matching ones. They were both ankle socks. One with maroon and pink writing and stars that say "Bow to your sensei!". The other pale yellow with blue heels and toes and sparkly turtles on top of the foot that say "slacker".
Day before: oatmeal colored wool socks (gag) because it's COLD!

Big, pink and fluffy. Like a candy floss on each foot only without the sticky.

I've been just sporting athletic socks as of lately. -- but they aren't just plain.

Friday: black with orange stripes
Saturday: brown with green/turquoise houndstooth all over.
Sunday: white with green stripes
Today: dark blue with green polka dots.

Today, I was at Walmart with a client and saw so many socks not to be mentioned on this thread and I so wanted to take a picture and send it to CCB, but I ran out of time to do so. Maybe next time.

Only cause I love ya!

I can't find a picture of them, but they're plain white ankle socks with a kind of Tigger decal or picture sewn on the sides. Not good at descriptions, need pics.

I think you described them just fine! Go cuteness!

I've been wearing more wool socks because it's so fucking cold. Yet, conversely, now my feet are bare. I fail you, my sock friends. :sock:

Dark blue thin socks under, thick beigy brown cream colored handmade socks outside.

Knee high toe socks (which I just typo-ed as "cocks" :|) that are purple with thin yellow and black stripes and a monkey face on the top of the foot that the toes go into.

cuuuute socks... are you paying attention Santa?

I've been very very good. :gimmehug:

They are white ....with pink trim....and they say "Princess" on them :D

Inside: pale purple, not quite lavender but close, that's got a bit of grey in it
Outside: more brown and cream socks that will keep my toes from falling off

Yesterday: Mismatched striped ankle socks. One with bright stripes that has a bear with underwear on its head that says "BE WEIRD". The other with pastel glitter stripes that has a heart on top of the foot that says "Napoleon Dynamite" in it.

I think I might be experiencing some sock psychosis.

Right now: Bare feet. I am being indecisive about which slipper socks to put on.

Inside: white socks with dark denim blue (the color, not the fabric) toes, heels and a stripe at the top of the sock and purple, pink, red and blue flowers.

Outside: blueish purple socks with beige kitty faces and pink and black swirls and doodles.

Bonus: slipper socks in fuzzy purple and golden yellow, close to LSU colors.
