From what I hear, the Ozzy Osbourne version would be "facing your head and doing it in". He's a great role muddle. It's all those bats, you know.
i don't wanna be one! 
I'm afraid once it's known that you've done a good deed, the choice is out of your hands. We shall follow the Wisdom of Nan, at least until such time a greater sage comes along and tells us the secret of how to tell right from left socks. I already took care of identifying the feet. I had "Right" and "Left" tattooed on, and also "This side up". My Teacher said I worked off a great deal of karmic debt by finding this solution to a common problem and so reducing the mental anguish of the chirally challenged, like myself. But the socks continue to defeat me, despite long meditation and intensive study.
But perhaps I need look no further. Can you help, O Master Nan?

Isn't it interesting that if you called her Mistress Nan it would change the whole dynamic?

Why am I now thinking of "The Life of Brian"???
Go barefoot.

I hear and am enlightened, in my limited way, O Wisdom of the Ages.
Hmmm. I must consult the scrolls.
I have a quest! Either technologically enhanced battle socks or a medal. I shall earn one or the other.
Chuck will provide. He's got fridges full of bats, but only parts of ponies. I don't think you could stitch together a whole one. But he had his Igor make a dog.
If you give him the missing pony pieces, I am sure he can arrange something.

I'm making progress, but its the kind of progress that looks like one huge mess. Had to get a new central heat and air unit - couldn't find parts for my old one. But that's one thing done. Everything is drying out due to the nice weather that moved in. Got fans blowing into the crawl space. Tore out the damaged drywall in three rooms. Re-insulated the walls, and hung new drywall today.
Lost the artwork I made for Christmas presents, and lots of sketchbooks, and notes, but have lots more art inside my head - so no real loss there. I didn't have any furniture downstairs except my table. I live minimalist - just have a bed, table, drawing board, easel, and massage table - and except for the table they were upstairs, so no loss there. Made the clean-up much easier than it would have been otherwise.
Can't complain. At least I'm off this week to get the job done. Will tape and mud the drywall joints tomorrow, put down primer if everything dries fast enough, and be ready to paint on Sunday. At least the floors weren't ruined.
Lauri suggested moving. What?!? And miss all this?!? Crazy girl! What good is homeownership if you don't have to fight off swarms of locusts, pull drunk driver-driven vehicles out of your living room, ward off meteor strikes, and other "acts of God" not covered by your homeowner's insurance? I figure once I've fixed everything, the earth will swallow the whole house. Then, by Jiminy, I'll move. But not 'til then. I'm going down with the ship! ARRRRHHH!
Thanks for the words of encouragement all! I'm going to bed, if I can find it in the rubble... (my place is looking more and more like the physical embodiment of the Dino-Aspie Ex-Cafe'.
