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 @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.

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 @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. 😂

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! 😂
