  What would you think if a knife went missing from your kitchen?

There were four in the set in the drawer. Now there are 3. You know exactly which one went missing, but you don't remember using it for anything outside the kitchen. Your family claims they didn't have anything to do with it. What would you think?

Nothing. Stuff goes missing around here all the time. I'd probably not even notice.

Depending on the household. I have several knives, I wouldn't worry, I wouldn't know there was one missing, or would assume it was thrown out by accident.

That my roommate was eating his dinner in his room again and that it'll be sitting on his desk collecting crud for a week.

I would think that I had accidentally put it in a cupboard or somewhere else in the kitchen.

First, I would assume it has to be my wife who used it and left it somewhere. But, then, I'd suspect myself as I sometimes do the same thing. Otherwise, it would just be too bizarre that some stranger came into our house and took a knife and only a knife.

...wait, does this have something to do with Lizzie Borden?

I'd think 'eh, I liked that knife' and that it was down the back of my desk or something. Or that Steven had lost it. Then I'd get to thinking that that's what really happened, and I'd get irrationally incredibly angry at that thought.

Heh. No. It has to do with the knife missing from my kitchen.

My thoughts were more sinister (creative?)... I imagined ben committing a murder and disposing of the murder weapon. I imagined a psychopath stealing it and waiting for the perfect opportunity to kill me with my own knife. I imagined myself committing a murder and forgetting I did.

ah yes... perhaps you had another one of your blackouts.

You should check your body, there may be a tattoo somewhere that explains what's going on, sort of.

Dang, I hope I remembered to wipe my fingerprints off it. It could be laying there now, on top of the body...... covered in my fingerprints.

I'd be too afraid she'd respond. It's too much like Bloody Mary..

Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... nah

Do you watch Heroes? There's a character on that show like that. Shes hawt, but kind of evil (well, the mirror version of her is). She blacks out, then wakes up with body parts all over the walls and ceiling.

I'd think it got put back in the wrong drawer or slot, and try to find it elsewhere.

There was a girl on my street that actually got hurt playing bloody Mary. She tripped over all the other girls when they were running out of the room and she broke her leg. We were always convinced that Bloody Mary did it.

No, I've never watched it. I'll have to look for it.

If it was just one of my dinner knives, I wouldn't really care. I would figure it had been misplaced or fallen behind something and would turn up when we move, if not before. If it was one of my good sharp knives, then I would try harder to find it. Since it's just me and my SO, one of us would have to have done something with it. If it was my santoku, I would tear the place apart to find it.

That the members of my family honestly forgot what happened to it OR it was broken and nobody wants to 'fess up. If I was the paranoid type I might think somebody was going to stab me with the missing knife.

Nothing. Knives come and go all the time. They get used for other things besides cooking.

I would check my forks and spoons as well, to make sure a set of them didn.t run off and jump over the moon! HA!

Actually a missing knife is serious I might think Jack the Ripper was hiding in my closet upstairs...hiding and waiting to call you from the upstairs phone. HA!HA!HA!

But I would bet if there is a young boy in the house he probably kyped it to go fix his bike and broke it and now won't confess. (this happened to me, I know)

Julie,

I was cleaning out my desk and I ran across a nice little note with violet flowers on the borders. It Read……


Michael~

The stuff in the green bottle is a lovely rich honey oatmeal stout that was brewed in mid October of this year.

The amber bottle contains a potent blueberry wine that was brewed in May of 2003.
We hope you enjoy them. May your 2005 be prosperous & peaceful?

-Julie & Scott ------------ (“Julie” & “Heyzeus”)

P.S.- You will want to refrigerate the beer ASAP the wine does taste better as well chilled.


You wrote that to me years ago a little before I went into the hospital. You and Heyzeus made a survey a contest of sorts and the prize was “moonshine”. I am not sure I ever thanked you for that properly but want to take that opportunity now, Thank you and Scott it was very cool.

That my aunt walked in and borrowed it .. she comes into my house all of the time without knocking or anything.

I live in the mountains, in a hollow surrounded by family. I rarely lock the front door .. so I wouldn't think anything bad over a knife missing. In fact, I doubt I would even notice.
