When I awaken at oh dark thirty it's usually to take a leak first and
THEN get on the computer to check this joint out, then go back to bed.

But.... don't take a leak in the sock drawer!

I don't have a sock drawer either.
The dirty ones are in the washer and the clean ones are in the dryer.

Very simple.

Do you keep your socks and underwear in the same place?


I keep all my daily clothes in the same place. Dirty ones in the washer,
clean in the dryer.
Drives Mrs.E. nuts, but fortunately we have two washer/dryer setups in our
house, so I adopted one set as my clothes washing, drying and storage areas.
No need to separate darks from lights either. Just let the new jeans modify
the colors of the socks and skivvies. I mean, who cares?

Ever since I stopped working, the type of clothes I wear has been reduced to
about 3 or 4 pairs of jeans, white crew socks, a bunch of skivvies that I
buy in bulk at WalMart or similar, and a bunch of goofy T shirts or pullover
type cheap shirts. About once a year I make a trip to WalMart to replenish
my wardrobe, whether I need to or not.

I also have a pile of dark, forest green polo type shirts with a embroided
Sportsfish type boat with "Pangea" over it. Mrs. E. ordered a ton of
these, plus matching ballcaps back when I was considering doing paid fishing
charters on the Egg Harbor. She got about three boxes, of mediums, large
and extra large.

I am still working on using them up. I definitely am not a fashion
statement.

Typical for around here.

At least you have a sock "drawer."

I've got a closet with large pull-out trays, and a tray for my white,
black and "other" socks. Not a monstrosity of my making.

In the drawer to the right of my desk, I have the following:

55 different kinds of computer/camera/tape record connect wires
a half dozen different airline frequent flyer cards, some for airlines
that no longer exist
earphones
two different tripod heads and several different quick release plates
three boxes of staples
a bic lighter
three boxes of speer golddots
various receipts I need to keep

In the drawer to the left of my desk, I have the following:

(classified)

:)
In my sock drawer I keep my Plastmo compass, my Standard Horizon VHF, my
Garmin GPS, old Sony Watchman and various AC charging cords.
Seemed like a good safe place.



(unclassified)

In the drawer to the left of my desk sits a
9mm Sig semi-auto long barrel handgun. It is not loaded.
A fully loaded 19-round mag is carefully hidden nearby.
I can slap the mag into the handgun and rack the slide pretty damned quick.

Naturally, if there are kids in the house, the handgun and mag go in the
safe.

You wouldn't lock firearms in a safe if there are kids around?

Well, I do.

Or are you upset because I have revealed the "hidden" location of a weapon?

Well, you can't just "open" that drawer.

Besides, who here is going to break into my house and get his head shot
clean off?

I think in this state (MA) he would be arrested for doing that, if caught.
If not mistaken, all household guns must be stored in a locked storage
container, locker or whatever and/or have locked trigger guards installed.
Could be wrong, but that's what I recall.

It must be hell being such an asshole to everyone you come in contact
with that you must answer your door with a loaded gun. Either that or
your neighborhood sucks.
We all know that you are a fat slob that gets no exercise and are
incapable of depending yourself without your phallic symbol guns.

Not really. The house was built with a large "in-law" apartment that was
never used. I took it over.
It has a full kitchen, dishwasher, clothes washer/dryer, etc. Works out
good because Mrs.E. has the rest of the joint for her and I have my "space".
Two worn leather chairs (one belongs to Sam Adams), a kitchen table covered
with notebooks, various manuals and other important "stuff", and a living
room filled with amplifiers, guitars, keyboards, speakers, wires, unfinished
projects, car carburetors.

She rarely comes in here anymore though. I wonder why.
