Was it Abe that came to my house and knocked my plant over Abby? And then threw a box on top of the soil smashed into the carpet to hide it?

bob That was me War, sorry.
I wanted to cover it with magazines, but I think they were all at Sunshine's house.
Abby, I had nothing to do with the wine glass. Honest.

War, feel free to use me to scrub the carpet. :)

Have you gotten a picture of Abe yet? I am picturing sort of the rugged outdoor type in my mind. Of course, I might get to meet him in sockperson if we are able to come down in the fall to visit!!

I have many family things, and it hurts my heart when anything gets scratched, broken, etc. so I know how you feel about the glass. We had a housekeeper for a while that broke something EVERY time she was here, and NEVER once mentioned anything. She was indignant when I made her replace a huge jar of peanuts that Barbara was planning to use that night in Chex Mix!

No fair, Pamy, it has to be a sock with emough gumption to get there on his or her own. We want somebody that is his own sock, by golly.

OMG!!

People! Abe is gone! I just went down the hall and I am so used to him being there, I had to do a double take! I noticed my husband take a basket of laundry downstairs a while ago, but didn't think anything of it, except a kind of wonder! LOL

He must have actually picked up the sock! I haven't asked him yet, but I'm sure he did. After a month of the sockwatch, I feel kind of sad in a twisted sort of way.

I guess it's over. I will still post the pic when I get them back if everyone is still interested.

One last little tid-bit and this is the God's truth. Remember I said the hubby took down a basket of laundry and must have picked up Abe on the way. I looked at the space where the basket was and lying on the floor is a white rolled up sock. :)

Awwww, Abe is going home to his sock drawer!

Did you get a chance to mark him, so you know which one he was?

Where is the rolled up sock? In the same hallway?

Count me in as a vote in still wanting to see the pics of the famous Abe!

Lol, I am in Abe-addiction withdrawal!

Have you spilled the beans on the experiment to the dh, so we can find out the details on Abe's demise/removal?

We need closure!

The word is out... in sockworld, anyway. Abe whispered to his cousins that he is tired of being kicked around, is just taking a break and brought in a lookalike for the experiment! Did the replacement make it to the hallway yet?

Yes, please post Abe's picture! We've been waiting for the screen cap a long time.

Any idea on the # of days? Must have started around June 27, based on the first post about this on July 8. And July 30th the holdout ended!

32 DAYS!!!!!!! :)

Now, about the rolled up sock on the floor...has that one been picked up yet.....

Juju!! You kill me!

I asked the hubby and he was clueless, and was like WHY??

The oldest son had shoveled out his bathroom and figures Abe just must have got mixed up with the rest of the stuff.

I told my 2 oldest sons about this last night and they read this thread and laughed their butts off. One said he felt like a lab rat! They want me to print it out so they can show it around, have they no shame? LOL

I told hubby about it this morning, he didn't totally understand the big deal, but I can almost guarantee there won't be any stray socks laying around.

The 10 yr old says he saw the sock everyday, but he's 10 so he doesn't feel responsible. LOL BTW, he broke the wine glass and confessed as soon as I asked and apologized profusely. I accepted graciously. And no, he wasn't drinking wine! hehe

The oldest asked me if I realized that in getting my 15 minutes of fame in a thread on the net, that I also gave a sock a months worth! LOL

This thread has been a blast, and although it was taken in fun, it really is a serious issue. No one likes to be taken advantage of and that was going on way too much in this house. I hope now that that the sock is gone, and everything has come to light that some things will change.

Thank you all so much for the laughs and support. Ya'll are really the best. abby
