Would you take this for men's dress shoes?

"He had on black stockings and gold shoes with pointed toes."

♦Ashley♦ wrote: "Would you take this for men's dress shoes?

"He had on black stockings and gold shoes with pointed toes.""

I would accept that as long as it's not a fantasy novel and he's an elf of some sort. For some reason gold shoes with pointed toes makes me think of whimsical elves.

Moved to Make More Room

Would this work for pins and needles feeling?

"Her hands weren't shaking, but she felt a vibration in her body, like a tuning fork had touched her."

hmmmm that one is a little questionable. If you can't find anything else, it'll work, so keep it on the back burner until the end. Is that cool?

Paris wrote: "hmmmm that one is a little questionable. If you can't find anything else, it'll work, so keep it on the back burner until the end. Is that cool?"

sounds good:)

Suddenly in doubt. Is there a page minimum for books?

Speaking of "pins & needles" - how about "hands tingled" ...?

Book Concierge wrote: "Speaking of "pins & needles" - how about "hands tingled" ...?"

Why are this persons hands tingling? I think the context would be needed. I'm looking for more that feeling you get when a limb falls asleep and then wakes up. So if the context is not something in that realm, then I'll say what I said to ashley, hold on to it until the end in case you can't find anything else.

Jane wrote: "Suddenly in doubt. Is there a page minimum for books?"

No page minimum for this challenge.

Paris wrote: "Book Concierge wrote: "Speaking of "pins & needles" - how about "hands tingled" ...?"

It's in Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex ... and they are talking about various physiologic responses during orgasm.

Hmmmm....then in this situation I would say hold on to it and if you can't find specific pins and needles by the end, then you can use it. I just have never equated orgasm tingles to pins and needles. That wouldn't be much fun...to me anyway. lol

LOL! that would be a painful orgasm ;)

That was the hardest round yet. Wow! Thought candy corn and christmas carolers were going to be the end of my finishing streak lol

Way to go Cait! Now I have to see if I can top this one for the next round for you. lol

For domestic violence. Or other words.

Do we need the exact words or is explanation enough?

domestic violence:
My new step-dad had not taken long to settle in and feel at home. I think it had taken only six or seven months for him to let loose his monsters on his new brood of three with his fists and feet. Yes, it hadn't taken long at all, before he had every one of us blinded and paralysed by fear

Jane that will work. It doesn't have to be the exact words.

Thanks paris.

10. Gobble

I failed at keeping track of my list online this time and now I'm too lazy to do it.

Right now I'm missing:
Janitor
goatee
candy corn
deviled eggs
a vote
pins and needles feeling
cotton candy
scarecrow
pumpkin pie
someone who's adopted

so I'm at 9/10 for the bonus items and 31/40 on the regular list. Not great, but not horrible.

I'm being foiled by Deviled Eggs, Ugly Christmas Sweaters, and Mental Health Days. :-(

Not giving up yet, though! Glad I have 6 days to go (including today).

I'm done for this year! See you in 2016!
