FloridaGull,

For some reason, that collectionsetc site won't load for me. It bumps me to a page that want's me to prove I'm "human" and also asks me to install an add-on to Firefox to prevent that from happening in the future. Um, no thanks. Ha ha.

It claims it "may" be because I have a virus. LOL. Long story short, I know 100% I don't. I have never been to any site online that did this.

Anyways, looked them up on walmart and amazon. Pretty cool. Unfortunately, on amazon anyways, they all seem to be pretty much polyester, no 100% cotton ones that I saw. I don't wear polyester. Dried and prepped napalm just doesn't agree with my skin.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

I only buy my socks at discount places.

lol. If I see a pack of 100% cotton socks that go at least a couple of inches above my bloody ankle bone, I buy a pack.

Btw, is it just me? Or are they making socks shorter and shorter over the years. I find it very difficult these days to find socks that go more than a couple of inches above my ankle bone as I mentioned. To me, proper "regular" socks should go about 5-ish inches (give or take) above the ankle bone.

Am I crazy or what?

Starting in the sixties, I decided to wear only red socks. I liked not having to match socks after the laundry was done and if one of a pair got lost or got a hole (I don't darn) I didn't have to throw away both socks. About ten tears ago, Mark's Work Warehouse quit selling three packs of red socks and if you wanted a pair of red socks, you had to buy a pair of grey and a pair of blue ones too. I still have a bunch of red socks, but have resorted to buying other socks now, but I like colourful socks and don't like black, white or grey socks. All of my banjos have red socks with holes in them between the dowel stick and head to mute the sound a bit. I met a lovely lady at a folk festival who makes me tie-dye socks and Maggie keeps her eye out for socks that she thinks I might like. Guitar socks would be cool.

-1974 Yamaha FG75 high strung
-A number of banjos, mandolins, Autoharps, ukuleles, dulcimers, mouth harps, a Tele clone and various other stuff.
-I own a fiddle, but only play it when Maggie and the cats are all out of the house.

because of the circulation problems, I now wear ankle socks in summer. I like the kind with the thick back of heel protection.
But in fall/winter i prefer thick Costco multi-layer winter wear.
I just switched over to my winter socks last week.

Socks have always been a sore spot (literally) with me- I hate the knot on my toe, bog or little and there is always a knot where the seam starts-

I like thin, just over the ankle socks because "crew socks" are just plain too long- and I wear boots all the time when I wear socks

I used to know a guy who never wore matching socks- unless it was an accident. He made a good point too; what's the point? Having socks that don't match is kinda cool I think- a bit quirky- fits me quite well-

I bought some recently, from Walmart, that actually have a L and an R on the toe portion

I guess that's in case you forget which is which

they do fit pretty good tho-
