Hello. If any of you mud gals wouel like to participate in this,
I can include you. It is a chain letter. You send one pair of
funky socks, and send 6 letters to others and you receive 36
pairs of socks if everyone keeps the chain going. So if any of
you have lots of socks, or would like to, p.m. me with your
mailing address! Laurel
(who is sending socks with forest and bear designs on them)

How funky is funky? I've got a pair I was going to put in the wash, but I can wear them a few more days if you really want... I wore them in the garden earlier today... lots of lovely mud and cat poop.. makes 'em REALLY funky!

JennieO "I have some socks from Amsterdam with a marijuana leaf design... "       Don't inhale if they go on fire ma dear:)!!

I would gladly join in but in all honesty no-one would be even vaguely amused to receive a pair of my well worn Winter in the Barn woollen socks..no one. They are so bad even I don't want them anymore. Your just going to have to trust me on this one please!
Jude

ps what would I do with 36 pairs of Socks, funky or not!!:)

if you have a pair of sox you want to send
you can join in...and i can send you an
address to send them to, but you also need
to send out 6 letters to others asking them
to join in...and it was originated to be a
trade for women's socks, and you are supposed
to get lost of pairs of them, and most likely
they would be women's sox. so i would not
recommend being a part of this unless you
want lots of women's socks. The original intent
was that women would get (and give) the socks.
I do not even want to think about what men would
want with 36 pairs of women's socks...don't even go there!

and i think they assume you will send CLEAN ones--
the funky part is in the design or color or style..
but thanks any way liz!

Well OM this is one Woman who wouldn't have clue what to do with 36 pairs.
I mean I could send out 6 letters and all but truthfully I only wear working socks... due terrain and Animals and Boots ect. I shed the damn things every oppertunity I get and never wear lightweight ones.
I do however wish you all the best with the venture:)

i like thick ones too
with terry cloth inside..
for boots

and no one ever gets as many
as a chain letter says will be sent!@

i also like wearing shoes that i do not need sox
for such as clogs and Uggs

I have 36 socks but I can't guarantee that there is a pair in there...

I've only been able to find one 'goddess' and one 'sex bomb' sock and I suspect Limpit has stolen my Winnie the Pooh ones....

Hand knitted socks are okay? And what do you mean with "letters", Open Mike, the e-mail thing or real letters made with paper and pen?
(I would LOVE to have 36 pair of new socks....)

It sounds like fun and I've just located a source for some wonderful socks with lobsters or moose on them, but I've never had any sort of luck with chain letter type things I've participated in. The most I ever got was a lonely dollar bill once. I never got any of the recipes or other things I sent out.

So I'll give it a miss -- unless someone is interested in a direct exchange . . .

This is not about exchanging the sock on the left foot vs. the one on the right foot?

And btw, is it already time for Christmas again? Otherwise there's no reason for a change of socks ...

that brings to mind a book i once read
about how to live in the woods..i think
it was by Colonel Townsend Wheeler
(how do i remember that?)
and how does the word spelled Colonel
get pronounced kernal?? (no "R"?)

any way he suggested getting tube socks..
long ones..and lwhen the heel wore out
you were to turn them around--and then
again until the origianal two heel holes
were onl your ankles...then when all 4
holes were made, you could cut them off
and start the cycle all over again...
that way the socks might last as long
as some of the microwave ovens in the
other thread...
