I have four pairs in regular rotation, all flats. I also have a whole bunch of heels that I never get to wear, oh, and boots that I wear regular in winter.
I'm not sure I have one.
Not at all. I don't see why I'd put my hard earned money out there when the odds are so poor. Well, once in great while I'll buy a lottery ticket when the prize is like a hundred million or something.
1) One that I have to replace (they're so old that they're falling apart, literally, and nobody knows how to repair them [due to the fact my boots are steel-reinforced all over])
2) It's between defenestrate and ailurophile (I can post a definition for either one if anyone desires)
3) I gamble just getting out of bed without getting clawed by one of The Trio (they despise being disturbed, being cats)
1. Too many. I have started to clean them out. 2. I don't think I have a favorite word. 3. Hardly at all, a lottery ticket a couple times a year maybe.
It's obscene how many pairs of shoes I have!! There are so many that I'm not sure I have counted correctly! I have 23 pairs of flip-flops, all the colors of the rainbow, which are what I wear most of the time. However, I have about 14 other pairs of shoes. It's a little confusing because some shoes are in Hilton Head. It's pretty obvious I don't need any more shoes for a long time.
When I was a child, we had only three pairs of shoes: school shoes, sneakers, and Sunday shoes. That was it. When my Aunt Betty and Uncle Ed returned from Japan (they were stationed there after World War II), they brought back a pair of "Zoris" (flip-flops!!) for each of us. So - for a while, I had four pairs of shoes.
I love the word "circuitous." I don't know why - it's fun to say!
I don't gamble much, although I have been to South Lake Tahoe (in Nevada) when Ray was there for a business meeting, and I did some slot machines then. I also did slot machines once in Atlantic City, NJ.

I learned it after accidentally doing so with a (former) neighbour (he deserved it, too!)

2) Nemophilist; one who is fond of forests or forest scenery; it's just a lovely word and I do like walking through the woods when I can.
3) Nope.
