Where do the socks go ?
It happened again today. My washing machine is eating socks !! Yes that is true. I remember shoving a pair but when the spinning stopped there was just one left. And this is not the first time it has happened. So I am left with a lot of 'one''s. Well I can be skilful and make rag dolls out of the socks which are left but where do they go. And why does this machine eats only socks and if it does why only one. (And no I am not chatting with you on phone even if you are a technician).
Oh dear.............you mean there are men that wouldnt know the last chapter..............poor guys..............oh no she eat him........now shes got the grin on her face
the last chapter of my book How to understand women...NOW what am I going to do???
No cant kill him.........even if he is ugly but as you say ....useful, have at least 3 here and they keep away the flys and all other nasty flying bugs............ooopppps hes on the move again.......coming my way but has a silly grin on his face..............oh I see theres a lady spider in the other corner...........thats another one gone....they gio see her and she eats them.....thats life I suppose
nasty little critters...but useful in their own spooky way
As a prince and Knight and also black hearted I'm afraid of nothing....well there is that great big spider in the corner.......but maybe he move my way........ugly beast.
then thats a damn short converstaion...........
be very afraid!
I was on the sock site anyway LOL
And, yes, I had toe socks :D
How sweet the every day problems of mothers and housewives............always wanted to know what women talk about in the supermarket over the trolley...........now I know
good for you finding them!
I haven't seen those since the late 70's...and mine were multicolored stripes with different colored toes...actaully have a picture of wearing them...lol
and thinking of your hubby socks with yours is just too devastating...ohh i need a cup of coffee to erase that image...

:D :D :D
you find your missing things!
Scarlett I did try to pair them but somehow always find one smaller. Hubby is a sucker for perfection. May be the machine is tricking me there as well (Trying to shrink the socks in different sizes). Something makes me feel my MIL has a hand in al this consipiracy. (Joke, she is very nice-- that last part was my conscience). Bye everybody.
that doesn't work when you wear socks with individual toes knitted into the them, same goes for gloves.
Not to mention the idea of hubs one sock mating with one of mine!
EEEEEEEEK
you know..if you get all socks of one color, it won't matter is one gets lost..there will always, eventually, be another one needing a mate..
very cleverly written that woz
wears when his tights are in the laundry..Underroos with Wonder Woman on them??
:D
that's why I highlighted the punchline lol
Mom... only u have to save ur ring... rest of the things can be handled. Who cares for 1 dirty smelly socks.
No wonder my husband plays all dumb when I ask him to operate the machine.
WOWWWWWWWWW..........mind blowing.........Odsoch's Theory will go down in history.......or get losr in the washing machine Heheheh
jaunti
its too much to read and too technical
Thank you Jauntie. I will take a para a day. Will speak out loud and clear next to my washing machine. How can I nominate my machine for the next Nobel Prize. (My head is going into a spin cycle.)
Well hey! At least it proves why Superman, Robin Hood and all men in tights never lost their socks!
he'll be busy trying to break my fingers and you can bowl...hm not sure i like that arrangement tho
what the heck are you doing researching lost socks??? My gosh, she's finally gone 'round the bend....poor jauntie..
this guy REALLY needs to get out more! (But I thought it was a GREAT answer) :D
"Washing machines rotate at great speed and need to be balanced if they are not to fly apart. Small items in pairs, such as socks, are converted into matter/anti-matter binaries. The other one of the pair is still there. It just becomes undetectable to the human senses. This is known as the Odsoch Phenomenon, after Albert Odsoch (1876 - 1939), a professor at Allesfehlende University, who first noted the phenomenon.
Odsoch was a great friend of Einstein and first proposed the formula that the energy of a body was equal to its mass multiplied by the square of the number of items (it was necessary to take the square of the number of items because of the positive/negative quality of the transformed pair). This was originally formulated as e = ms² (where 's' = number of socks). He eventually tried to extend the theory to all items of clothing which occur in pairs, such as gloves. Trainers had not been invented in those days and later research has shown that there is a critical mass above which the spin cycle needs to be very much greater.
It was his friend Einstein who took the 'great leap for mankind' and applied the theory to ALL matter, using the constant 'speed of light' instead of 'spin speed'. This story explains why he used the letter 'c' for the speed of light: it was borrowed from Odsoch's revised formula where 'c' represented 'items of clothing'. Einstein, in fact, took into account the AREA of cloth involved. Since the formula also involved a speed (which is distance/time), it was necessary to square this figure to arrive at AREA/time². The square of a speed is not very intuitive but is related to acceleration which is, of course, DISTANCE/time².
The invention of tights was directly due to the necessity to attach a pair of stockings to each other so that they could not be converted to a negative/positive pair in this way".
a lot not so good...;)
and you are welcome...stay tuned and you might find out a lot more female secrets..hmm might have to publish a book...How to Understand Women...I'd be rich!!!!
Scar. I should thank you first and QL too.
This place is so much full of knowledge. hehehehe
i will next time, if only darude will promise playing on the other end of the alley..don't want him near me...lol

have no idea what they are called..but it hooks the socks together before they go into the wash...they look like little rings with 4 prongs in the center..you just poke the top of the sock into it and they stay together...OR get lost together...
running between alleys last night, no wonder you couldn't catch my fingers...next time I'm bringing powder tho...my thumb hurts today..lol
owen..you are going to bowl with us next time, so we'll put padding on your bowling ball...so you don't break any windows
skdkak...NOW I think you got the plan...hmm shouldn't have told our female secrets..
lol...you should always make an inventory (list) of what you put inside your w.machine then inventory it again when pulling 'em out..

i didnt mean husbands... well. it is a new learning for me. never imagined why my wify didn't ask for the dish washer yet.
damn i missed those fingers of ur's wanted to break them :?
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
husbands (aka, dishwashers) won't go sell it...*ducking so not to get hit!*
LOL... Scar.
Wedding ring for the latest in town new mashing machine. LOL...Keep dish washer away from it
but might watch out for your wedding ring tho...its small enough to get through and sold at the Black Hole Market...
dont worry. that hole is not big enough for everything. It is really interested in socks and handkerchiefs only and an occassional coin for calling the updates it has to his other society member.
LOL Scarlett. I will think twice before putting my hands inside the machine to pull the clothes out.
do they call undies..a pair..when its a single item? hmm one of life's great unsolved mysteries..
The Disappearing Sock hole...however its not discriminatory..will take lost underwear also..usually your favorite pair...Its rather like the Bermuda Triangle...VERRRRY mysterious...
Thank you everybody.
Thank you Kellyheroes. Hubby suggested the same and cleaned the filters today morning. Dislodged a coin, some hair and dirt but no socks. May be there is a galaxy inside my machine somewhere which sucks the socks in the black hole. (Joke).
I though it happens just to me but there is the whole world searching for socks and handkerchiefs.
These guys do magic. today u see them and tomorrow u cant. they are gone gone gone gone...
Good Morning,
Yes you are right it is amazing what I have pulled out of my filter - I check it every so often just to clean it.
Sorry
check drain filter. probably you will start noticing that it is not drying properly
They might get stuck in the drain pipe, And this can block the water drain, but should not be more than 2-3 socks.
it probably does that on purpose...just taking one...to see how long you'll put up with it...its testing you're patience, you should smack it around with a tennis racket just to show it who's boss :P
inside the pillow cases or duvet covers.... you'll be amazed
