Before You Toss Out That Lone Sock...


I typically don't lose socks in the washing machine because, before washing them, I place them all in a zippered lingerie bag. Doing this helps keeps socks from mysteriously vanishing.

If you don't do this, you may sometimes find a lone sock and put it into 'sock purgatory' while you await the return of its mate...sometimes found days, weeks, or months later tucked into the folds of a fitted sheet, or statically attached to a bath towel.

However, sometimes sock mates are lost by other means. Perhaps one was inadvertently left behind in a hotel room? And kids are always losing socks... who knows where they go? Of course, now and then, a sock begins to get a bit threadbare, even if its mate is perfectly fine.

You can certainly bid adieu to that lone sock...or you may want to repurpose it:

1) Slip a sock over your hand and easily dust your window blinds, slat by slat.

2) Make a shoe deodorizer pouch. Fill a sock with baking soda, tie it with a knot, and stuff that odor-eliminating pouch in a stinky sneaker. Hopefully you have two lone socks so you can de-stink two shoes at the same time. :)

3) Make a sock puppet for your young kids or grandkids. It's a great activity to do together...and a very inexpensive toy that requires the imagination to get to work.

4) If you don't have pads for the heads of your golf clubs, use stray socks to help protect them when traveling.

5) Protect delicate objects...like Christmas ornaments...or a glass item you're traveling with.

6) Stray socks make a great impromptu case for something you don't want to get scratched, like sun glasses.

7) Use one to cover an ice pack...so you can use that ice pack for relief without it being too harsh on your skin.

8) Use as a wrist-rest. If you use a computer mouse, fill a long sock with polyester filling, knot it or sew it, and use to lift your wrist up a bit as you're typing, providing some comfort for a sore wrist.

  This Week's Recommendation

Say GOODBYE to Your CLUTTER
With My Most Complete,
Easy-to-Use, and Effective
Clutter-Busting Resource Available


Goodbye Clutter
You won't believe how much lighter
you're going to feel!



For super quick details on how you can say goodbye to clutter, visit:

getorganizednow.com/rd-clutter.html

All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.

For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.

Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home. Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...

There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven- effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.

Want to say goodbye to your clutter? I have just the thing you need for a glorious, clutter-free life. For more details, visit:

P.S. SPRING 2021 SPECIAL! When you claim your very own copy of GOODBYE CLUTTER... before FRIDAY, MAY 21st...you'll also get $144 in COMPLIMENTARY BONUSES (ALL written by me!)
