Hello Friends!
Over time, I have been phasing out all of the different types and styles of socks in my collection with few exceptions. In my line of work, we are required to wear black or blue socks. I have opted for black.
They match with everything mostly and are covered by pants and shoes.
Sometimes I think my dryer has a conection to another dimension that has a vested interest in them. I took a picture of the inside of the menace and there appears to be a sinister face inside.
Is this a tongue? Do socks suffer silently here before they disappear?
I scratch my head at the complexities of it all. Why do we collect hard to mate socks and where do they go? To add to the possibilities, I may have contributed to the missing socks at different times in my life.
Hair? Yuck! What have I gotten into?
I will be relived when I get to the bottom of this. I have ordered all my socks to be vigilant and go about in pairs but they are independent sorts and wander where they will. If you have any idea where the missing socks go, I really would like to hear them in the comments.

Good luck with that!!! You’ll need it, methinks 😉
Me thinks I will. Do you have such troubles at home?
Between the dog and the washing machine, there is a veritable Bermuda Triangle for laundry here!
I think there is an epidemic of missing socks all over the world! What can be done?
Oh my word! Yesterday, I did my laundry, and no lie… 4 individual socks were gone. That was unreal. I looked everywhere for my precious socks! It’s no good if I have one pink, green, purple, and blue sock without the match. I’ve very picky about that!
Hmm..
I wonder if they went somewhere…🤔
No where! Not in the dryer, not on the couch, not in the basket, not on my feet (it’s summer time, who wears socks?) not in my drawer, not in any sock collecting clothes washed with you…. good grief.
Hmmm…. Are they needed by someone else? Perhaps devious reasons?
Ooooh! That better not be true!
But what if? Could an evil Alchemist be manufacturing minions?
So true. Fingers crossed!
For the Alchemist?
No way!
I think Herb Thiel is right. The Alchemist must be using them somehow!
Your dad is always right.
Yeah.
Dad’s tend to be that way.
You are too!
I am right pretty often. I am willing to admit when I am wrong though.
That’s a sign of a good man.
🤠🔥
That’s my big brother!
And that is my dear little sister!
Awwwww that’s going into my treasure chest.
All the good socks go to hell.
Now imagine you wake up in Hell and the Devil leads you to an endless pile of lost socks and says you will sort these for eternity.
😆
Agghhh!!!!!!👿😈
That is really funny!
yes it is!
Oh, the sock-eating dryer! This past weekend, I think I lost the mates to about three pairs of socks!!! Oh, well. If I don’t find them soon, I can just make hand-dusters out of them! Just cut a hole in the toe and slip it over my hand when I get ready to dust my furniture! LOLOL
Ha ha! That is a great idea! I think everyone is missing thier socks all over the world! It … Must be a conspiracy!!!
LOL You’d think it was!!!
Ha ha! Perhaps they bend time and space or something!
Hmmm…Could it be??? Never mind, well, for a moment a chill went up my spine and I had an image of the Alchemist in my mind. I need to go back and re-read the whole story from the beginning.
Or it could be indigestion.
Or it could be a nightmare, induced by imagining a pile of your socks being somewhere…the smell! The stench!
Ah. … Could it be?
Sounds like the dryer is to blame. Maybe lint is the leftover remains of socks after the dryer eats the socks.
I have 2 colors of socks – white and black. About 5 pairs of each. When I do laundry, I don’t bother to sort other than all whites in one pile and all blacks in another pile. As time goes on, I buy more of whichever color starts running low.
Ha ha! That is an excellent idea. Does the dryer really eat them or do they co somewhere?
Don’t know, all I know is I can put 8 socks in the washer, I don’t count how many I take out and make it to the dryer. On occasion, I notice one is missing after I pull out of the dryer and see an odd number of black or white socks. I always check the washer and dryer thoroughly after removing items in case I missed an item.
Perhaps an evil Alchemist is making minions with them😲
Funny you should mention minions. My standard ringtone for unknown phone numbers is a free Zedge minions ringtone. ☺
Ha ha! ( Laughs Nervously)
I have no idea where they all go. And why do we just keep buying more and more and more of them? They will just disappear into the abyss also. That’s what I like about spring/summer…no sock wearing for me!
The abyss you say? Could they be on another dimensional plane?
Heck yeah they are. There can be no other explanation. I put two socks in, one comes out. I continue to be baffled.
Tis a mystery.
I think they disappear into the sky and become clouds.
Edmond, that may be exactly where they go. I never thought of that.
Maybe we’ll find out one day. Great post 🙂
Thanks! Have a beautiful day and don’t be a stranger.
Thanks and you as well 🙂
Thanos snapped his fingers and as well as half the universe’s population, the Snap has also gotten rid of half the sock populace.
Oh my…. Wow.. Did it really happen like that?
Oh, yeah. It happened. They recorded it in Avengers: Infinity War, but they disguised the event as a fictitious movie.
Wow. So it is a cover up?
Oh, yeah. Big time.
Well fortunately, I am well informed by my friends!
Yes!!! That’s a good thing!
We bloggers have to stick together!
Absolutely! Form our own secret group where we keep each other updated and informed about what’s REALLY going on.
No Doubt!
Cool name! Who else should we invite to join our group?
Ha ha! “No Doubt” would be a pretty nify secret society!
Yep, I totally agree!
As to invitation, only FBBB.
What’s FBBB mean?
For Bloggers By Bloggers….
Ah! Awesome! So anyone can join, basically, lol.
oohhh!
I know right? Where do the socks go?
🤔🤣🤣
I bet it is sandal weather in 🇮🇳 👡
How?
Is it hot in 🇮🇳 right now?
yes not much.
Do you ever lose socks?
yes ! many time
Where do you think they went?
but I found it. I think your socks will found soom 🙂
I cannot find them😢
I think you should ask your wife 🤔
She does not know either. Does the wash machine eat them?
🤣🤣
you check again in wash machine
I hope you are right!
👍
Hope so!
Do you think an angy Alchemist took them for his devious plans?
🤔
Maybe there are little people making clothes with our missing socks.
😜
Well now! I am convinced that all our missing socks are on an island somewhere, sipping tropical drinks and throwing a party… with all the tupperware plastic lids that seem to go missing in my house too! 😛 😉
It very well could be! I think Tupperware lids are designed to disappear so the salesperson can throw the party! Great theory!!!
You would think they would have invited us.
What do the aliens want with our humble socks and why just one of? I’ve always wondered that – so you’re saying it’s the dryer? Hmm more investigation required
It may or may not be. Perhaps one footed aliens!
We are assuming they are wearing them on their feet – what if they are turning them into beanies!
Could very well be!
We’re all in this together.
I know it! We have to stand strong!
But not too strong. Don’t want the smell to keep people away.
LOL!
You really do wonder what happened to them!
No telling, friend!
🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the very same thing yesterday. haha
Where indeed! I have opted for the same brand of black sock so I can purchase them over and over and not worry as much. It stresses me out!
