Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

You know what we started doing, Kristin? Each of us has our own mesh lingerie bag and our socks go in them. The socks get washed in their bag and then there are no lost socks. (And each individual is then responsible for matching his/her own socks.)
Of course, this won't solve the "lone-sock-in-the-gym-bag syndrome," but it's an idea anyway... GOOD LUCK! :)
OOOh that is smart. I can hang it on the door, like normal people hang Christmas decorations. LOL
Valerie, what a great idea!! The sock dilemma has been solved.
My boys think socks are disposable! They take them off and stuff them in the couch. I have seen them do this yet they claim not to know how they got there. The other day I actually saw son #1 reach into the couch cushions to take out a sock to put on for school in the morning. I keep a bin of clean socks in the family room-I no longer match them. I think I will put a bin for dirty socks in there too. But then they will wear dirty ones. I hate socks!
Going to the laundromat will not solve your problems because then you will get rogue socks from other households that sneak into your basket. Plus, your socks will flee into other people's laundry.
Kristin,
I completely sympathize. We have this enormous basket of unmatched socks. Why? because somewhere between a child's feet and the laundry basket, weird things happen. The Sock Snatcher, I suppose :-) Wonder what 'he' looks like.
Valerie,
what a great idea. I've gotta use that. 5 little mesh bags plus one big one for the parents. Sounds like a plan to me :-)
Kristin,
Love this! I am so glad to know that I am not the only person with a basket of socks by the door. Totally annoying, not to mention embarrassing (though we do through them on the bed when company comes).
I have tried the mesh bag idea. It makes some assumptions .... but I at least can say I tried, and on a really good day, we are armed and ready to try again.
Love it. Thanks for posting.
If this can help: I know that a product exists, not only to stop losing socks, but also to save time matching socks. It is called sockfix, they are like buttons to fasten to socks, so when you take off your socks you click them together...they wash together, dry, you store them together...etc..it is a practical technique...you can have a look at a video www.sockfix.com (because my explanation is not really understandable (sorry).
