False. And zero. TNP has been bitten by a dog. ---

I’ll say True, my aunt had Dobermans and the younger ones particular nasty and nipped my legs, no deep bites though. TNP still wears, even occasionally, a wristwatch. ---

False, and I should, I have a beautiful watch I haven’t worn in years, I think it just needs a battery. TNP has never been arrested. ---

Correct, although I’ve seen others arrested and have even been on police ride-alongs (including to a homicide scene). TNP has seen a corpse other than in a funeral home. ---

Many. I used to work for a hospice. I’ve also had a ringside seat to an autopsy. TNP can name the capital of Bulgaria. ---

Correct, if it’s still Sofia. :: checks Wikipedia :: Which I see it is. TNP has been to Sofia, Bulgaria. ---

False. I’ve also never been to Sofia, New Mexico. TNP is planning to take a trip to Europe in the near future. ---

Not really, but almost true. We’ve been discussing our next big vacation, Europe has come up but it’s not a front runner. TNP knows - or has owned in the past - a dog named Buddy. ---

False, but we have two dogs, and I will often say to the one, “come here, bud,” even though it’s not his name. TNP likes to read historical fiction. ---

Definitely true. _Aztec_ by Gary Jennings is probably my favorite in that genre. TNP has seen Aztec ruins in person. ---

False. But I did visit Mayan ruins ([Chichen Itza](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chichen_Itza)) about a year ago. TNP read The Hardy Boys mysteries as a child. ---

False. Never could get into them. The Next Poster has lost one or more parents. ---

False. They’re both still alive. The next poster has attended a science fiction convention in the past year. ---

False, I’m not a huge fan of sci fi. TNP has played a board game in the past month. ---

No, it’s been longer than that. We played Settlers of Catan. TNP has played Settlers of Catan. ---

False. I’m not familiar with Settlers of Catan, and I much prefer playing cards to board games. TNP has played poker in the past 3 months. ---

No, it’s been years. **Railer** , for more: [Catan - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catan) TNP has had a cup of coffee already today. ---

That’s true. Grab one on the way to work most mornings. TNP can wear practically anything they want to work. ---

True, now that I’m retired, but when I was an appraiser I wore just about anything I wanted to work. I kept a suit there for going to visit clients. The Next Poster prefers Benny Goodman to Glenn Miller. ---
