Good evening Squirrel Fans.
I can sympathise with Nobby Nobs in tonight’s quote, I appear to have reached the age when socks are the gift that keeps being given!
I got 2 pairs from Mrs S today!
To be fair one pair were from the Assassins Guild!
“They always gives me bath salts," complained Nobby. "And bath soap and bubble bath and herbal bath lumps and tons of bath stuff and I can't think why, 'cos it's not as if I hardly ever has a bath. You'd think they'd take the hint, wouldn't you?”
― Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
Where ever you are in your day I hope you’re enjoying it!

@MAJ1 To your full day of cheer and food ...Rest well and think of dreams wanted for next year ...am getting treated to dinner later today just up front needed nap
@MAJ1 @weirdfolks My ex wife’s stepfather used to always say, “If you don’t get socks for Christmas then nobody loves you.” I kid you not! Everyone got socks for Christmas, and you know what? It made me feel loved. I think it was a trick…
Hope your day was peaceful and pleasant!

I have a tradition where since I'm disorganised my BF's birthday present is usually late, so he always gets special socks on the day with present to follow. His favourite as far as I know were the beer socks. This year I had the present but was stressing because I hadn't bought socks! Luckily the Christmas market supplied some thick knee high cosy socks and the day was saved.
@econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
Socks make great gifts for anyone! There’s a sock that I always give. Hanes Ultimate is one of the softest, most comfortable sock I’ve found. There may be better, but I bought a bag once for myself on accident. I should have known due to the price. They were like $40, but when I put them on, oh my ass! They were like sex for my feet!
@UnclePJ
Haha sometimes it's worth investing. With clothes, I'm usually looking for things that last, cos I bloody hate shopping. I'm lucky to be in a situation where I can afford a bit higher price, but sometimes you get something that's 3 times the price and doesn't last for shit :-)
@UnclePJ @econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
immediately had a look at their website but they had many different ones all called ultimate (or i didn't look right also possible)
@ganbatte @econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks They have many styles in the ultimate line. I haven’t had to buy any in quite a while, so maybe something has changed.
@UnclePJ @econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
thanks for telling me.
always on the lookout for comfy and goodfitting socks.
@ganbatte @econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks You’re welcome. I should clarify, I haven’t purchased any for quite some time. Auntie PJ handles my wardrobe, as I have NO style… whatsoever.
@UnclePJ @econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
join the club
in general i prefer comfort over look.
@ganbatte @econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
Having been in a job that required a suit and tie for many years, I’ve become accustomed to look over comfort.
That said, I obviously prefer comfort over look. THAT said, when you have a wardrobe organizer, you learn that comfort and look can exist together.
I just can’t manage that on my own.
@UnclePJ @econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
now i am a little jealous.
@ganbatte @econads @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
It is one of the many plusses I have with Auntie PJ, really.
@UnclePJ @ganbatte @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
Aww it's nice to have someone you appreciate. Hold on to that!
@econads @ganbatte @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
I don’t take it for granted. I’m sure to profess my gratitude often and loudly!
@UnclePJ
...is she seeking a side gig? Asking for a friend.
@econads @ganbatte @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
She might have a side hustle or two… Pretty certain she’s booked some solid gigs for a good while. If a slot opens up, I’ll let you know!
@MAJ1 @weirdfolks
Good evening lovely
Hope you've had a good Christmas despite the excess of socks
@MAJ1 @weirdfolks
Well, at least Mrs S didn't give you bath salts and soaps.
I think my daughter was disappointed that I didn't get her any socks this year. Hers are fun and usually reference a favorite movie or book.
Sleep well, Sir Squirrel.
@MAJ1 @weirdfolks hihi.... I gifted a sweet friend socks this year, but they're a few months younger than me... And we're younger than you, old master Skwerl . But they were very happy with the socks... So I guess there is a little Dobby in most of us!
@PixysJourney @MAJ1 @weirdfolks
Lol. Master Skwerl is free
My daughter loves getting socks as a gift. Especially socks with characters on them.
@ldmay65 @MAJ1 @weirdfolks hahaha don't think Mrs S gave the socks to free her Dobby Skwerl though
Owwww socks can be fun to give and receive! I've never been given socks though, but I've given them twice now.
