Ah, tis the holiday season. The lights. The trees. The tinsel. Every where you look, one must love the festive atmosphere. Even here at the My Odd Sock corporate office, every room is decorated in Christmas splendor. That fact came to my realization just yesterday, as I tried to use the company facility (bathroom). My …
Hope you enjoy this previously soiled My Odd Sock! So you want to write about your MS in a blog? That’s great! What you’ll need to do first is think of a unique name for your blog and register it as a domain name with a company like Go Daddy.com. (Yes, I hate Go Daddy’s …
Warning: This post contains pictures that may frighten young children. Please “exercise” caution.

I never realized oral hygiene had so many choices! One toothpaste does this. Another claims that. We have toothpaste that whitens. One for fresh breath. A different …
Cursive writing is dead. And I’m not grieving. Not one bit. Granted it’s been a long, slow death. For years, penmanship has been in a choke-hold of technology. The keyboard putting the beat down on pen & paper. I couldn’t be happier. Today, many states don’t require kids to learn cursive. In fact, some 46 …
