Have you ever tried "Darn Tough" socks, which come with a 100% guarantee?

No, although that's a charming name. Most of my socks these days are Solmate. The pair that shredded were probably about four years old.

Thank you for the introduction to Anu Garg--receiving that daily newsletter will certainly improve my life.

I'm very glad! I have been enjoying this week's theme of tosspot words. No new ones so far, but I still like them being drawn to attention.

Thanks, also, for hosting such facinating conversations, in this case re: Asperger, ethics, etc.

You're welcome! I have good people to talk to.
