In the grocery store of all places. I borrowed a pair of Melissa’s socks when we went to the fair this past week — blisters — and promptly lost one between taking them off and walking to the washer. Geez. Anyway, since I couldn’t buy just one pair, we both have new fluffy socks now. Here’s a glimpse into why Melissa and I are friends — after I texted her asking for a pair of socks (I do own my own socks but I was leaving work and on my way to pick her up) she spent a number of minutes debating what type of socks I might like and then once in the car we had a ten minute discussion on the various types and attributes of the perfect socks (during which, this brand was mentioned and then I happened upon them at the grocery store). That’s probably more than you wanted to know about socks.
Good to know, actually. Socks have been something of an issue in my life lately too. My sister sent me a variety of socks for my birthday. Boombas. I must say that they are really nice, and they donate a pair to people in need for every pair they sell. Since then she has sent me 2 emails from the company reporting on the places where they have donated socks.
@margonaut I’ve seen the ads for those and wanted to try them. It’s cool that they let you know where they donated them. Nick used to get me “fancy” socks from the running store when he worked there and my mom just got me a pair of those fun mismatched ones for my birthday. Come to think of it my sister gave me a pair of socks for my birthday too. They have swear words on them. But my favorites are some plain marled cotton ones I got from Target.
