Not really from Vienna |
My bride always has. I can’t stand wearing them. I got to have freedom for my toes. | ||

Sometimes until I warm up under the duckfur blanket we use in the winter. "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

No. I don't like anything on my feet when I sleep. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

Not an option in your poll, but socks are worn at night when using a topical callous softener lotion. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

The cake is a lie! |
Only when it's really cold, and almost every time, I take them off after a couple hours. | |||

That qualifies as a special occasion, for the purposes of the poll.  As would a power outage in sub-freezing weather. | |||

Fighting the good fight |
Nope. Never. | |||

Maybe for the first 30 minutes when it's winter time. By 30 minutes in, the socks are peeled off. I can't stand the compression and heat. | |||

I can barely tolerate the blanket over my feet when it's cold. | |||

How is this even possible. It sounds so constraining. Like the sheets would stick to the socks and burrito you in the sheets. Then there’s the hot factor. If I slept with socks on, I would probably throw the blanket on the floor during the night. This is an idea I can’t wrap my head around.

Only if I’m damn cold. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

 "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Me too. I'm in my mid 70's and the blood has trouble getting to my toes in the winter. Same for my wife. The older you get, the more you adjust. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

No, but last night kept thinking I needed to get up and put the wool socks on. Didn’t sleep worth a damn! Electric blanket back on the bed tonight.... | |||

When it's cold, yes, until the feets warm up. I take them off sometime during the night. | |||

Same here. They help keep me warm without having to turn the heat up or use a lot of blankets. | |||
|
| Do---or do not. There is no try. |
Because I live in the Dallas area and all of north Texas has gotten hit with this big winter storm that's thrown our temperatures and wind chills down into the single digits for the next few days, I voted for special occasions. | |||
