Losing socks, that reminds me, we had a washer repair man come out once and he took of the agitator on the washing machine, pulled it off and the washer drains under it have screens, he said if one of these screens come off, you will start to loose socks. I never forgot that.

Never lost a sock after I started using these: sock-locks.com I guess washer and dryer digestive systems just can't handle two socks at at time.

OT ** "The secret life of socks, tupperware lids, and hair bands" hilaryeats.blogspot.com tinyurl.com excerpt Despite the countless number of times that I have laundered my clothes, it still irks me beyond belief when it's all said and done and I have a basket full of orphaned socks. It doesn't matter when it's a plain white sock. But you can't wear an orphaned argyle sock! You can't mix and match black, blue or grey ones either. The question that comes to mind is, where did they all go? Did they get sucked into the black abyss of the washing machine holes? Did they get swallowed into the dryer vent? Or did they simply just walk away?
