It’s inevitable – for each load of laundry you examine, you will find odd socks. With time, you may also discover that you finish track of entire drawers and storage boxes full of odd socks. But worry not! Lost Sock Memorial Day is about commemorating another (lost) halves from the pairs of socks that are still around. Here’s for their memory.

Memorial Weekend... This is when kids go wild. What type of lake are you going to? Aree you camping at an estblished campground or are you "roughing it"?

Let's try to bring you and your pals back in one piece with hopefully a smile and a story.

Clothes: Avoid cotton! Cotton absorbs water easier and will stay wet longet hence, if you get wet you'll cool down a lot faster and stay miserable. Only 100% synthetics and/or wool.

There's a lake, there's a beach there's water fun! Bring Shorts and a Shirt instead of swimming gear. Shorts are far more sturdy when it comes to sitting on rocks and less likely for you to have a "wardrobe malfunction."

So each day you are going to the lake you'll prolly get wet - you need new swimgear each day UNLESS you are able to properly wash/dry your stuff. Oh! Buy some WADERS from say Walmart or something... These are slip on water shoes that have a good sole to them so you won't get your toes hooked on someone's lost fishing line or some dope's broken beer bottle.

For wandering around the forest wear pants - unless you WANT poisen ivy and/or shrub scratches all over your legs. Wear layered clothing just in case the weather changes - undershirt, short sleeve and a light jacket. Wear synthetic or wool socks. Carry and extra pair just in case you get them wet - sucks to walk back with wet feet. =P

Do not wear tennishoes - they have no ankle support. Get some good hiking shoes - Big 5 always seems to have a sale on these. Carry a pair of working gloves just in case.

Make sure your pants/shorts have plenty of pockets which either have zippers OR bottons. You need some where's to put the following survival gear. Make sure you waterproof the following using ziplock baggies:

one bag (for making fires):

Book of matches, a bic lighter, a magnifying glass (small is fine as long as it is thick) and some of the lint from your mother's dryer.

one bag (for finding your way): Small LED flashlight, a compass, about 10 10" lengths of pink/red/yellow ribbons and 1 very small pocket knife.

one bag (for owees): 10 bandages small & large, liquid skin (you can get that from any pharmacy), a few sample packages of tylenol/aspirin/sudafed, metal tweezers, burt's bees rescue cream (little tin the size of a quarter)

one bag (for boredom): Deck of playing cards, chewing gum, an inflatable ball, a tiny pocket digital camera (key chain cam cost about $10 to $40), and a tiny laser pointer.

one bag (potty time): Bundles of toilet paper seperately rolled so that you don't need to pull out the whole thing for what you need, small 1 oz bottle of purell or other type of waterless hand sanitizer.

one bag (who you are): Your ID, your special medication AND an emergency card stating what you are allergic to, what meds you are taking and who should they contact in case of an emergency. Add some money to this too.

If you squeeze the air out of each of these baggies and you have plenty of pockets, there will be no prob.

This is minimal survival gear and can get you out of MOST trouble you will find yourself in.

Remember, you bring for you! Do not depend upon what other's bring. They may forget. Then you are SOL.

Pus is coming out of my big toe? Please help :(?

Yuck! Seems pretty clear that it's infected. Pus means infection. You may need antibiotics. Meanwhile keep putting antiseptic cream on it. I'm not in the US so I don't understand what Memorial Day is, but surely they have A&E depts and walk-in clinics open over holidays? And by the way, have I understood you right that you kept your socks on overnight and that's why you didn't notice how bad it was until this morning? If you make a habit of keeping socks on that long that'll be encouraging infection to hang around. Throw out the socks you were wearing yesterday.
