True, I gave up mailing Christmas cards many years ago. It was a nice tradition once, and we displayed our cards on long ribbons. But it died out, and most of the time it seemed to just be an obligation not to miss anyone who had sent us a card. TNP has not gotten their flu shot this year yet (I got mine). ---

True. Almost a month ago. TNP is not eligible to donate blood ---

False. Been an apheresis donor, and have been hounded by the Red Cross, since they found out I was O-. TNP had a fairly rare blood type. ---

True, like I’ve posted before, undergoing medical treatments with weekly blood tests. Hopefully only 2 months more. TNP has piloted either a jet plane or private small plane. ---

True, I have flown and landed a small plane, but did not finish getting my pilots license. A small regret as I like to finish what I start, but it is unlikely I will try again as the rules and regulations take much of the fun out of flying for me. TNP has been on a Carribean cruise. ---

True, 5 by my last count, over about 30 years. TNP has voted or plans to vote, in the midterms elections. ---

True, I already voted. Shocking, I know. TNP has participated in sports/game league (softball, darts, billiards, bowling, pickleball, etc) at least once in their life ---

True, about twenty years ago I was on a softball team sponsored by my then-favorite watering hole. It was a great experience. I even got a game ball once for having a double, a single, and two RBIs! TNP did not vote in a least one presidential election. ---

True, as a Canadian I haven’t voted in any of them. I have never missed a federal or provincial election though - civic duty and all that. TNP is hungry now. ---

True, yep, think I’ll have chicken soup for lunch. TNP has a favorite comfort food, name it. ---

True. My own chili recipe made in a slow cooker on a cold winter day. TNP has not consumed any candy obtained through trick or treating in the last 24 hours ---

True. But the youngest person in the house is 17, so no one went. Madame Pepperwinkle did dress up as an elf, though. The Next Poster subscribes to at least one streaming service. ---

False, but only seen individual scenes on TV for most of the movie, not all the way through in one sitting. TNP has not seen all 3 of the original 3 Star Wars movies (ie A New Hope, etc). ---

False, but I have completely lost interest in the franchise. TNP has been inside a hospital within the past 6 months. ---

False unless you count [Casey’s](https://www.caseys.com/%22https://www.caseys.com/), a convenience store where fresh made doughnuts are a small part of their business. TNP eats a gluten free diet. ---

False. In fact, I always order extra gluten on the side. TNP does not know the difference between American Smarties and Canadian Smarties. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=71) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/true-or-false/809507.md?page=73)
