I keep buying bulk packs of all the same socks. That makes mine easy to find, then everyone else is on their own.

'Zackly what I did in my college and single days - 20 pairs of the same socks, 20 pairs of the same briefs, 20 T-Shirts (different colors - a compromise), and a few pair of jeans (patched of course). Not all that much different today. Most days I go to the office in T-Shirt and jeans. If I have to meet a client, I wear a new T-Shirt and a new pair of jeans. Hey - I'm a classy guy.

Just can't figure it out. How am I supposed to know which socks are my wife's, my young son's, my daughter's, my older son's. Sheesh! Everytime I take them off the line and throw them in the basket, my bride of 32 years complains that I need to keep them in pairs, sort them by owner, and so on. Now that boys wear those low-cut socks, I don't have a clue what belongs to who. And don't get me started with folding T-shirts, putting in the correct piles, colors, sizes, AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! And, whoever heard of folding underwear. I just throw mine in the drawer. Fold underwear! Give me a break. I've got to move to a new place - something on the fifth floor or higher. Jumping out of a ground floor window just isn't effective.
Do what I do - just keep piling them up and pair them up occasionally. When it becomes too much, use them for oil rags or donate them and buy new socks. Well, I don't do it that often, but it has happen once or twice in the last ten years.

Mark the toes of the socks with a certain color of magic marker. Or buy everybody different brands. And buy yourself black/brown dress socks. Have your wife wear girly shirts, you wear button-up shirts, have your older son wear whatever t-shirts, and have your younger son wear nothing but Power Ranger themed clothing. Don't wear any underwear; if you can get the others to agree to that, then you're all set. :)

I respect that. I wear metal shirts. They hide me from clients.

In a couple of days from now, The Daily Insider is going to have a link to your post exclaiming the discovery of a new SOCKS protocol that is going to replace HTTP. :cool:

You help with the laundry? :~
------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. but it ROCKS absolutely, too.
I actually do ALL the laundry in our house. The significant other used to 'do' it all but I got fed up of not having anything clean because she'd been too busy watching TV/sleeping/doing girly stuff. I wash it and dry it but... the only stuff I sort is mine and our son's. Her's go in a pile for her to sort out if she can ever be bothered - which is generally when she needs some clean.

I've always wondered about Nish and his badly made omelet on his ONLY cooking attempt. Now it all makes perfect sense. :suss:

Hey - finally somebody's trying to work out an algorithm. Not bad. Power Ranger stuff won't go with the young one - although I could just tell him it's special break dance apparel.

Or just cut holes in all his new clothes so they look like they've already been used for a day. ;P

Use SOAP over SOCKS for a cleaner interface.

Write the name of the owner on the inside of all of the items ... markers are cheap :rolleyes:
