True. It helps that one was a childless couple, and the other couple only had one kid. (I can name the first couple’s dog, though: Brandy.) The next player did laundry today. ---

Yes. But then, I do laundry almost every day it seems. The Next Player met someone in his/her life who was born in the 19th Century. ---

False, although I was thinking I need to do it tomorrow. TNP hasn’t made any plans for Labor Day. ---

False. I’ll be walking across the Mackinac Bridge on the annual Labor Day bridge walk. TNP can name which of the 48 contiguous states has the northernmost point. ---

False, I thought it was someplace in Maine. Researching it shows it’s Angle, Minnesota. The Next Poster is a registered voter. ---

True, and never skipped an election since 1975. It looks like a simulpost got #1179 missed (“The Next Player met someone in his/her life who was born in the 19th Century.”) so I’ll do that too. True, three of my grandparents and several great-aunts and great-uncles who I new well, plus just about anybody I met who was on Social Security when I was a kid. TNP insists on using charcoal rather than a gas grill. ---

False. I have my trusty Weber propane grill that I use regularly. I elect convenience over perceived taste. TNP goes on at least one significant vacation every year. ---

False. The next player has put out a fire with a fire extinguisher. ---

False. I _attempted_ to use a fire extinguisher - my grandfather’s beautiful polished brass extinguisher - but unfortunately it hadn’t been recharged since the Harding administration, so I had to use a garden hose. Aside from a little scorching under the eave of the house no major damage was done, except to the backside of my cousin who started the fire. TNP has burned off a field. ---

False. The next player has seen a President in person. (A parade passing by counts, if you’re present.) ---

False TNP keeps in touch with someone they went to high school with. ---

Yup! Just saw five of my high school buddies in Nawlins, as it happens. We get together every year or so; very happy we’ve stayed in touch. TNP keeps in touch with a childhood friend. ---

False, unless ‘keeping in touch’ means running into them at funerals by chance. TNP has hired an exterminator in the last ten years. ---

True, just moved to inland Southern Calif. with all sorts of desert beasties here,including black widow spiders. Had a guy spray outside our house, not inside. TNP has had snakes from outside invade their house (e.g. garden snakes, etc.) ---

False, although I do walk a lot. The next player has never done “the Wave”. ---

False, but I would say I’ve never jumped off a diving board well. The Next Player is looking forward to the leaves changing colors. ---

False. I don’t care at all about clothes, and buy most of mine at thrift stores and yard sales. The next poster has never seen the musical CATS.
