@thechinglish if I were going to call it a boot socks it would be a thick, warm, durable, wool sock that could be worn under an 8inch boot and no one would ever see. So these make no sense.
However there is also a horny year old kitty litteraly screaming in my face. And has been jumping over my head than slamming into me nightly for two days. So. I might be a little confused/sleep deprived.
@RiotDemon yeah. I took her to the vet the day after I found her several months ago and she was about starved to death. But we all thought she was pregnant… So they did not want to vaccinate or spay at the time. Seems like she must have had a littler already that I couldn’t find somewhere back in the field. Hopefully they survived.
She’s a house cat now and her buddy has been fixed for 12 years since he was a kitten. She can’t get out or knocked up. She just wants attention that I don’t mind giving. But she probably needs to go see the vet again after this passes
@RiotDemon I am aware of all that. I’ve had three females and the other 2 I had spayed. I wouldn’t put her through surgery just cause she was loud and REALLY wants to snuggle lol. It’s kind of cute
But the increased risks of cancer and other diseases are valid reasons to do it even though she can’t get out. If she was a barn cat I’d TNR immediately. But she’s really a house cat at this point.
From your own article.
"Cats can be spayed while they are in heat although the surgery is a little more complicated. "
And she’s never been even close to cycling every three weeks. Once she gets off this she’s probably going in.

@mehcuda67@The_Tim omg… Our super villan has reveiled himself . NOoooo. Not the spiders. Please someone sa… Wait squirrels? Those fat rodents who eat bugs? HMM. I have a plan
I bought these before… why am I buying more?! Oh yeah, they’re pretty dang awesome. Well, the ones that aren’t a stitched animal are. The line socks are nice. The animal ones are a bit tight.
Finally have an order name worthy of reporting at least in my opinion. Tonight’s is weak-elastic-beast. Ok, maybe not earth shattering but funny to me, the beer holder.
I would rather see knives or speaker docs than more crappy socks. But of course not everything. Or maybe anything. Is about me. So. I hope some of you weirdos have a sock fetish?

@RedOak I mean. Most of the guys probably had one when they were in their teens. Probably with less character. Their sons probably have their own fucking sock. Err. Socks
@RedOak you know? Just not the kind of family heirloom you’d be looking for. I would not fuck something that old but it sounds like you already learned that
@mehcuda67 it’s a thing I guess. Used to be a running joke with agent Booth on Bones. I could see how it would be a tiny little “fuck you man”. Against the dress code. Or individualism.
Or maybe it’s just fun for some people. Who cares where people get joy? You know. As long as the sock people don’t murder us? Yet…
@jimbobmeh Agreeing with the disappointment on the quality. I purchased the last two drops of these socks based on people acting like they were the second coming of sock jesus.
Bunch of loose threads. Packaging was nice. Socks were very thin, I’m willing to chalk that up to them being dress socks, and me being blind and not reading that at the time. If I could go back in time I would replace my dress sock order with boots to give them a shot, I like a good thick sock.
Q: You know what they say about guys with big feet?
A: They can’t find socks that fit worth a F**K!!
Case in point…I ordered a set of these the last time they were offered (I mean, guitars on my socks? Cool!). When I received them, I took one out of the package, realized it was made for little feet, put it back in the package & drove it over to the YWCA shelter & dropped them off (with a bunch of other stuff). I’m sure someone can & will use them…

@coldestcore…all “socked” up perhaps?
Wtf are boot socks
@thechinglish my experience is they are thicker. Like athletic socks or slightly thicker. Unlike the 3 pair which are more dress sock.
@jml326 thanks!
@jml326 @thechinglish Must one have sock boots in order to wear boot socks?
@jml326 @thechinglish they are usually taller by a couple inches, also, to have a sock layer between the shin and the top of the boot.

@unksol maybe it’s time to get her spayed?

@unksol there are other benefits to spaying besides stopping the symptoms of being in heat:

Non-wool boot socks? no ty

Yay! Socks! My favorite. Thanks, Meh.
I keep hoping that the squirrel style will come back some day. I continue to be disappointed. :|
@The_Tim I feel the same way about the roster socks.
Back then I had to blind buy and hope to receive these.
@The_Tim Squirrels and spiders remain among my favorites.

I wish these weren’t made in China. I like the ones that I have, but I’m trying to be more ethical in my choices nowadays.
@lowlypeon you lost me. What does absorbing lead into you soul have to do with ethics?

Eggs and bacon on socks?! I want them but I have too many socks already.
Or do I? How many pairs of socks should one own before they stop buying them?
@JT954 Depends, how often do you do laundry?
@JT954 couple pair of black should cover it

@unksol if you wear the socks inside out the logo on the toe spells out “Paul is dead”

Not fucking socks again.
@RedOak I mean. Most of the guys probably had one when they were in their teens. Probably with less character. Their sons probably have their own fucking sock. Err. Socks
@RedOak you know? Just not the kind of family heirloom you’d be looking for. I would not fuck something that old but it sounds like you already learned that
@RedOak @unksol Thank you, that’s exactly the reply I was about to write.
NO.MORE.SOCKS! FFS!!!
@unksol that setup would have worked a lot better in the early Meh days. Kinda sad.
Does the idea of ‘comical boot socks that you can’t see because you’re wearing boots’ seem ridiculous to anyone else? Or is that part of the joke?
@mehcuda67 You gotta take your boots off eventually. And that’s when they shine.
@mehcuda67 it’s a thing I guess. Used to be a running joke with agent Booth on Bones. I could see how it would be a tiny little “fuck you man”. Against the dress code. Or individualism.
Or maybe it’s just fun for some people. Who cares where people get joy? You know. As long as the sock people don’t murder us? Yet…
Cool socks again? Neat. In for three: sharks and two of the boot sock packs.

Sock on this!
I just opened a six-pack yesterday, b/c I somehow have 27 unmatched Simply Stitched socks in my sock drawer. I’ll wait for next time.
@daleyshow Can they really be unmatched though? Really? Wouldn’t the “unmatched” aspect just make them an even more whimsical apparel item?
Ordered these last time offered and disappointed in the quality. Sock sizes are inconsistent, even within the pair.
@jimbobmeh Agreeing with the disappointment on the quality. I purchased the last two drops of these socks based on people acting like they were the second coming of sock jesus.

Too bad most are men’s, including both sets of dot socks which I would have bought with my yet to be spent $20 coupon.
@Kidsandliz But…but…octopi!
@pitamuffin Nope nope nope
Set #3 is different than all the rest. It doesn’t have a white font for the numbers.
But what does it mean
These look uncomfortable for those with muscular calves.
I’m so upset that all the cool, new designs are women’s socks.
I’m also upset that the last two times I’ve ordered the socks seem thinner and of less quality.
That being said, in for three.
