I don’t wear slippers at home, I only wear socks. It turns out that there are many signs associated with socks.

It has been a year and a half since we moved to a newly built house in the village. They built it for a long time, 5 years, but at the same time they tried to do everything thoughtfully, with high quality, what is called "for themselves." There is a basement under the house, which partially serves as a cellar, so we do not heat it, although it does have a heating system. We simply do not turn it on. The temperature there is always about 5 degrees.

The entire floor in our house is covered with laminate. On the ground floor, a "warm floor" system was made, which everyone loves very much and is happy with its presence. There is no heated floor on the second floor, there are bedrooms. Therefore, when you go up to the second floor, there is a slight contrast in the temperature of the floor.

Why are my feet freezing

With age, of course, various features begin with thermoregulation in the body. Also, when we lived in an apartment in the city, I constantly wore slippers, even in the heat. Feet were freezing regardless of the air temperature. When I went to bed, I wore woolen socks with a loose elastic band so as not to squeeze my ankles. To fall asleep without socks is simply unrealistic for me. And after I had had the coronavirus, I just can't do without thorough warming of my legs.

This is due to the work of the cardiovascular system, which primarily suffers from the disease.

Why socks and not slippers

But walking in slippers in the house turned out to be very uncomfortable for me. The fact is that the slippers knock on the laminate anyway, which is annoying. In addition, you constantly need to go out into the garden for greens, then into the cellar for a jar of blanks, then into the yard, where I have chickens that need to be controlled and fed. It is always uncomfortable to put on and take off sneakers. So I switched to wearing woolen socks all the time. She knits them for me and gives them a matchmaker for all the holidays, for which she thanks a lot, there can be no better gift for me.

Another argument in favor of socks over slippers: it is inconvenient to climb or descend stairs in slippers, and you will stumble. And in socks it does not cause any emotions, you walk around and that's it, not noticing the stairs in any way. Moreover, we have it very convenient - the master who made it is just a magician.

Signs related to socks

My friend, besides being a craftswoman, is also a great connoisseur of all sorts of superstitions. She, one might say, collects them, collects them. She has a notebook to which she has been writing down various "zapuki" for many years. This is the name of the signs in some areas of our area. So, on the letter "N", on a piece of paper "Socks" she has several entries.

I do not believe in omens and superstitions, it is sinful. But for those who like to intimidate themselves and follow all sorts of stupid rules, I can share a treasure trove of folk signs from my brothers' records.

Bad omens

The first sign is completely ridiculous - walking barefoot at home - to illness and poverty. Well, judge for yourself how stupid it is. I have dozens of friends, healthy and rich people who go barefoot at home, because they have a good sex, have no health problems, and they like to go barefoot.

The second sign is to walk in darned or torn socks - to money losses. No comments.

The third sign is to have a sock without a pair, to loneliness. Thus, half of humanity should be lonely, judging by this sign.

But, besides bad omens, there are many good ones associated with socks.

Good omens

Fortunately, to put on different socks by accident. Very optimistic, I like it. But there is one subtlety - after discovering such an embarrassment, you need to change your socks so as not to frighten off your luck.

Accidentally pulling your sock inside out is good too. But you need to change. (see 1 good omen)

Getting your toes on the heel means getting good important news in the near future.

General signs

You need to put on the left sock first, then the right one. This is the only way there will be happiness in life. Eh, and I missed half of my life, not knowing such signs and putting on socks at random!

If a woolen sock is put on the breast of a woman who is going to give birth a few days before giving birth before going to bed, then the birth will be easy.

A lonely woman will attract a man to her house if she buys several pairs of men's socks and puts them in wardrobes, where she plans to allocate a shelf for him after the man appears. Again, no comment on my part.

Here's a story turned out. And this stream of words was caused by another parcel from the matchmaker, which was brought by the daughter. And there - new socks for sleeping, with a wide loose elastic band.
