I was looking to see if the milk was out of date and I had to look up what month it was.

Don't forget to check the year as well.

A while ago, I was surprised to discover that my salt was way beyond the "Best Before" date - actually, by a couple of years! Hey, NaCl is NaCl - that won't change over years, will it??
Sure, old NaCl might be clumping. If you put it into liquids, that is no problem. Or you might give the clump a knock or two, then it is fine.
Right now, my salt is again beyond the "Best before" date, and the box is still half full. And I bought a new box. But that one is for being dried thoroughly, and then vacuum sealed to be stored in my basement for emergency purposes. Call it "prepping" if you like; I think keeping a sealed kilogram of salt in you basement is within reasonable limits. Next time I need to buy NaCl, I will get the pack from the basement and buy a new one to seal an put down there.

I keep track of days by sock color, according to my socks it's "I don't give a sh*t day". I think?

I'm in trouble, because all of mine are the same color.

Working from home, I wall barefoot. When I have to leave the house for some reason, I would have to know which weekday it is. Maybe just so I can put on the right socks.
Honestly: If I put on new socks just to walk out to empty the mailbox, or even for a 15 minute ride to the grocery store, and take the socks off as soon as I am back in the house, I do not throw them into the wash after two minutes, or fifteen minutes, of use since they were washed the last time. I know that this might come as a shock in some cultures; nevertheless: There is no need to wash a piece of cloth only because it has been used for a brief period of time. Even if the wearer has been sweating: A brief rinse in plain water, and then hanging up the cloth to dry, is enough. Even hanging the cloth to dry in an airy place, without rinsing, is a zillion times better than throwing into the dirty clothes hamper for the bacteria to develop!
Walk barefoot when possible! Otherwise: Wear sandals, without socks, where possible. Otherwise: Wear sandals where possible. Otherwise: Kick off your shoes where possible.

I go barefoot about 90% of the time, and then only when I have to wear em!

Hardly, I find I have little or no interest in coding for my own entertainment. If I was not playing bridge regularly I think my brain would have atrophied.

Sorry. I just don’t get the chip reference.

ok, Tim's explanation .. Quote: 'CRYPTIC' (clue) without the 'IC' (chip)
I've never been good at these, so I looked up synonyms for abyss, not containing the letters [c,h,i,p] and came up with vault - completely wrong/at a tangent to the expected answer - one could argue that vault is 'an answer' at a technical level, its just wrong/not what the author was thinking of
