I have a (tongue in cheek) generic "this is the tool of Satan" mental list that keeps track of things I find annoying. It's where I place things like the magnetic polygonal lasso tool in Photoshop, or childrens toys that are LOUD and eat batteries like candy, or the idiots who write code for eBay...

Mouse Trap made it on the list when my then brother & sister in law thought it would make a GREAT Christmas gift for a family with children ages 5, 3, and newborn. It has a bazillion tiny pieces, is complicated to set up, and they fought like alley cats over the entire game.

My then husband's idea of "Hey dear! I bet the kids would love to play Mouse Trap!" meant "Hey dear! I know you're in the middle of nursing the baby, and saying the MT thing *out loud* will put ideas in the kid's heads, that *someone* will have to commit to since they're too young to play alone, and you A) dislike board games in general and B) haven't even had a shower yet today, but I really want to IM/play Doom/take a bath/lay down for a bit/read a book, so could you just take care of that? Thanks!" LOL

I wonder what that says about me.

I consider the suggestion to have no reflection on you, personally (with regard to being a Tool of Satan- ToS), and to have actually been a rather witty idea.

Ah, well thank you for the explanation! Had me ROFL...

Especially the bit about the "magnetic polygonal lasso tool in Photoshop" which I know only too intimately, LOL.

I agree - but I prefer it over 'Operation' or anythign that has to do with tiny, foot injuring, leggo's.

I could NEVER get mousetrap to work when i was little - we were always missing SOMETHING.

sigh.

I live in my M40s during the winter, and while I have sock garters (adorable buttonable circles of woven elastic), I hardly ever use them. It took 2 or 3 seasons to wear out the elastic at the tops of my red pair.

Did you say...red?

 

[CutieMouse]

LOL

Yes. Brick red M40s, which are no longer in my wearable sock inventory, as the elastic at the top ribbing is shot, and they have holes in the heels. I had them as an Av at some point last winter.

ive decided to become a career assasin to afford my clothing addiction.
Then I can have thigh high gym socks customized with "lo" stitched on them, a pair in every color.

 

[graceanne]

My biggest issue with thigh high stockings and socks is that my right leg is shorter than my left. So one stocking always ends up higher than the other, and when I walk it rubs on my other leg and leaves sores.

you cant just position them at the same height regardless of their position on your legs?

I've tried that, but then I get wrinkles around my ankles. (FYI I have very short legs.) Quite frankly the reason I tried thigh highs is cause of the troubles I have with panty hose. My weight is not totally proportionate. As is common with people who've struggled with diabetes and malnourishment my weight is around my waist. So if I buy tights that fit me around my waist, they're loose around the leg, and I get wrinkles (which looks like crap), and if they fit my legs whenever I bend over they roll up, and I go around yanking on my tights (which also looks like crap). It's very frusterating.

Very Nice!

Thank you!

I don't have this exact problem, but I do feel irritated sometimes if my socks are too high on my legs - they squeeze me in the wrong place. So what I do (And keep in mind i buy socks, NEVER stocking style nylons or anything like that, can't stand those!) is I fold them down slightly at the top to be wherever I want them. The socks I have in mind for you (red/black stripes and black/white stripes!) look just fine folded over at the top - that way no one would be able to tell unless their head was between your legs. snicker.

your trademark will have to be strangling the people you kill with your older socks that you don't want anymore.

I have the opposite issue- long socks usually aren't long enough for my legs. Most of my M40s are long enough, but vintage stockings? Ugh. My shoe size is 8½, which means my vintage stocking size shoudl be a 9½ - 10; however, my legs are long, which means I am most comfortable in a 10½ - 11 (and no't have to worry about the top band of the stocking starting 2" above my knee)... which means if I want vintage stockings I'm suddenly A) in a size range that is uncommon to begin with and B) I'm fighting with cross dressers for the good sizes. Which means I hardly ever buy real vintage stockings, because they end up waaaay out of my price range.
