not as many as one might think. My mouth is surprisingly small, even having had four extra permanent teeth (as well as the wisdom set) removed in order to make the rest fit. That lower volume also means that my gag reflex is heightened, as all the structures are closer together. (TMI, anyone?) It also means that I avoid stuffing more food than I can comfortably accommodate into my mouth.
2 You've turned into the main character in the last TV show you watched. Who are you?
Parker, from Leverage: Redemption (2021- ). She is played by Beth Riesgraf. Extremely fit and full of energy, drop-dead gorgeous, very funny and seemingly unselfconscious, creative and thoughtful and affectionate... I would LOVE to be Parker!
3 How many gadgets do you have at home that beep at you?
Ironically, as I write this the trash pickup service is outside, backing toward my driveway, raising the dead with its reverse alert beeps. Gaaaaah
4 What's the craziest thing you've thrown across a room in a temper?
I've only ever thrown two things: shoes (at Nick, who had earned a few metaphorical bruises), and my engagement ring in its box (at H, who had just told me he was standing me up on one of his few visits during the year we were engaged, in order to have dinner and go to a high school play with his former girlfriend). None of the throwing was intended to physically injure anyone, and in fact never hit a human target. The latter seemed laden with meaning, though the reflex to chuck something at him was satisfied by the nearest chuckable thing to hand and just happened to be the most "significant" item imaginable.

6 Which one of your friends would you not trust as your house sitter or pet-sitter, and why?
the list of people I would trust as my house-sitter is SO short! My brother, my walking buddy, and my parents (but only under certain circumstances). Why?
My walking buddy is absolutely trustworthy. She would take it all in, and would probably comment on something that she noticed that was different from her last visit, but definitely would not dig.
My parents would do everything necessary ... and then some. I would absolutely come home to a fridge stocked with fruits and maybe vegetables and possibly dairy. It's highly likely that something that hadn't been in top condition would be repaired, cleaned, or replaced.
Everyone else I might even think of would create some questions in my mind. They might be snoopy, they might be prone to pranks, or they might be flaky enough to be unreliable. (Also, there are others I would trust completely, but are nowhere near enough to make it realistic.)
7 What was the last thing to make your fingers sticky?
ugh, I do hate being sticky.
I think it was a jar of jelly that seems to ooze a slight film of viscous goo upon itself and everything in its realm, despite having been cleaned numerous times.
