Since this guy showed up in my purview, I keep hearing about it or seeing new ways to use it. But when I looked up this comparison, this is what I found on Google:
Flounder and founder are happy little nouns that don’t get mixed up. But it all falls apart when they’re verbs — if you’re floundering, you’re struggling. If you’re foundering, you’re failing completely. I don’t feel I am foundering in any way. Just finding ways to see successes.
So, I am sticking with the fish. And that is better than a horse who founders.
Her hooves hurt, and she can’t go on. Actually, I don’t know that about the above horse. I just was looking for a picture of a horse on the ground. And she is so pretty!
The groundhog is a floundering hog. Or is it that Winter is floundering? Because we are supposed to be getting an early Spring. But we got this:
Meanwhile, I finished the little boy’s slippers:
It’s fun to make smaller socks because they get finished quicker. But now I’m on the mother and the older daughter, and possibly Auntie and Grandma. All around sizes 7 and 8. Yes, the yarn is already on the needles.
My biggest floundering seems to be on the ukulele. My fingers just don’t want to be in those chord situations. But I keep trying. I did figure out I could plunk out Mary Had a Little Lamb on the strings as I figured out where each note was. But moving from F to C and back within a singing timing was crazy. The F chord is the hardest. Well, until I met G. Getting pretty sounds is crippling!
I’m not floundering so much on the recorders. Except I probably should play them before deadening the fingertips on the Uke. I am trying to remember where the F, F#, and B flat are. Other than that I’m getting better, slowly.
And so, I’m off to try again tonight. Wish me luck!

I hope you didn’t flounder in your efforts!
I always flounder. But thankfully I don’t founder!🤗
Cool your making socks and slippers for people! Knitting is fun! I love crafting but don’t do nearly enough of it!
I’m retired so creating is now my job. I’m so glad to have the time to do what I wanted to do all my life but never had the time or patience back in the day. Hope you get the chance.
The socks turned out great. Loving the colors.
Thank you so much! I love the colors, too!!
The groundhog is such a liar. Love the slippers! ❤ Thanks for the prompt, Dar!
You’re right!
Thanks!
Thanks for playing!🤗
when I am floundering around my home barefoot I founder at keeping my toes from solidly connecting with any object at floor level. thus, I never go barefoot(except on the beach).
Having broken three toes at years apart, I am rarely not barefoot, in the winter it’s socks and slipper socks. I can trust my feet. I don’t trust door jams or furniture moving. But I still prefer what my feet tell me. If I go outside in the winter it’s Crocs. If snow real shoes. But rare are the snow days this year. Summer it’s my Skechers flip flops.
Thanks for sharing your flounders! Many people I know have aversions to bare feet and floor objects. The ex made sure the kids kept Legos in their bedroom cause his feet always found them and words would fly, along with broken bricks of primary colors.
Aw, beach feet! My favorite! Let’s not step on jellies or flounders!🐟😎
