Quality cheap socks for a chronic sock-loser

Hi all! Hoping to get some help. I and my partner both have SEVERE Adhd that we are slowly starting to manage together with various systems, but the one thing that is a constant problem is SOCKS.

Every Adhd guide says to buy 50 pairs of the same color socks and then you don't have to worry about matching them. That's fine, I never did anyway, but some socks these days are GARBAGE. Hanes fall apart on me in an instant, I think Reebok were the ones that were so tight they left marks. The only ones I've had that I liked were Kodiak? Which I cannot find online anywhere and I've lost all but one. I know darn tough is great and I love them but the lifetime warranty doesn't work when the socks have fallen into the void. And I love wool! One day I'll have a basket full of merino wool socks, but right now I would be doing both the sheep and my wallet a disservice.

I'm at the end of my sock-chain. I know I cannot just fix the problem of losing socks, that is a battle I can't win right now, but PLEASE, someone give me crew socks that are affordable, durable, comfortable, and available in BULK. Bonus points for arch support.

Lost Mandala blanket pattern with fine yarn, used gradient cake

Hi! I recently found this wip in storage and I'd LOVE to finish it, but I can't for the life of me find the pattern. I also can't remember the brand of yarn (because I think I found the pattern via ravelry by looking at that brand of yarn), but I know it was a rainbow cake. Help?

Help acknowledging alerts

Hi all! I have a 2 year old female anatolin shepherd. I love her too death, but her alerts are..... Excessive. I've read online that I can "acknowledge the alert" and redirect her, but no one seems to explain actually HOW to do that. I've tried praising her and trying to give her toys, but usually when something is a "problem", she's barking and pacing for the next 20 minutes. And usually "problems" are anything from cars passing to ghosts.

What have you all done to redirect alerts?

Preparing for A/C Maintenance

Hi all!

I am upgrading to a better RV (yay!) and want to avoid a lot of the mistakes i made on my old RV. I've heard that you need to clean A/C evaporator coils twice a year with something like this, but in all the owner's manuals they tell me to just change the filters and leave everything else alone.

The RV has a 15 BTU Coleman-Mach 8 Soft Start.

Should I be cleaning the evaporator coils? Is there any other maintenance I should be doing? TIA!

Hi all! I am getting a VERY nice new park trailer to live in, and I saw it comes "solar ready". I don't plan on moving this beast ever, so it will be hooked up to shore power constantly. That being said, I'd love to cut some of my electricity bill by using solar. I'm very confused by all the stuff online about integrating solar work shore power and I was hoping someone could set me straight. Has anyone done this? What are some recommendations?
