    trim your nasty ass toenails.
    trimmed toenails do not catch the stitching inside the sock ripping the sock(s) apart by pulling the thread apart with nasty ass toenails.

    badgers and wolverines do not wear socks. why? because they have large sharp claws that ruin socks.

    trim your f'ing claws.

    I rarely wear socks anymore since I live in Georgia. I do have some pairs from where I used to live that I bought some 5 years ago, I would say they are wearable but the elastic on them is going.

    I still have my binaural socks. Theyre tore up to shit but I refuse to throw them away. I even wear em sometimes when there are none clean. Holes and all
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
