Do you ever fall into a rut, musically? Into what rut are you most likely to fall?

I would think the thicker duller knife would do more damage, tearing perhaps, not cutting as cleanly, also the bigger the knofe, the higher the likelihood that something vital is hit. The cleaner wound would be easier to fix if an organ was hit and if she survived. And a straight cut in that region could go the full 4" and not be fatal, it really depends on more variables, and on whether or not she can get to the doctor within minutes or hours, or never.

Daffy Duck or Donald Duck?

I am going to guess 70, maybe more, They are trashing their country fast, so I think most of China will be a toxic place in 25 years. They will either be subsisting on something futuristic, like cultured yeast foods, or importing everything. That or famine.

Name one thing you like about someone you don't like.

My original wedding ring set. I got poison ivy once (the first time, the time I found myself to have a virulent allergy to poison ivy) and I was at work a few days later, and it was awful. It was all over my hands, and my rings were driving me nuts. So I took them off, put them in a baggie, and THOUGHT they went onto my purse. But I never saw them again. I get a nicer, fancier set later, but it just wasn't the same.

You have a magic hamster that will find one object you have lost in your lifetime and return it to you in one piece ONE TIME in the hamsters life. Do you give the hamster the name of an object, or do you sell the hamster?

Baccarat; French style. It looks confusing as all hell

Elizabeth Warren (assuming you mean both houses, if just the House Joe Kennedy 3; Kennedys are noble train wrecks, and I would like to meet one).
