Helping? More likely I’ll be doing all of it. The Next Player has read at least three books about history this year. ---

True, about 10 to 15. Most years it would be more, but I’ve been reading too much fiction lately. TNP goes through at least one gallon of milk per week in their household. ---

Not even close. I buy milk at a quart at a time and it usually goes bad before I use it. TNP doesn’t use any kind of dairy in their coffee or tea. ---

True. I don’t drink coffee, but I do drink tea without milk or cream. The Next Poster already knows Oxford’s Word of the Year for 2018. ---

Nope. TNP has never rented power tools (but owns a few). ---

Depends a little on how expansive your definition of ‘power tool’ is. I rented a powered post hole digger attachment for my uncles Bobcat skid loader. I had to plant over seventy 6" by 6" redwood posts four feet deep. I dug exactly three quarters of one hole before deciding I needed to add some mechanical muscle. That was some of the best money I ever spent. TNP has eaten peanut butter in the last week. ---

Nope, maybe I’d eat peanuts on spicy Thai chicken sate. But peanut butter never and not in the last week. TNP has been a Marvel comic books fan and has a favorite Marvel character. ---

Yes, I used to collect 'em when I was a teenager and into my early 20’s. My favorite Marvel character is Hawkeye. [BTW, Oxford’s Word of the Year is “toxic”.] The Next Poster has no preference between DC and Marvel comics. ---

True. I never really got into superhero comics TNP has never crossed the Arctic Circle ---

True, and have no desire to get anywhere near it - even on a great circle route in an airplane. TNP prefers equatorial to arctic climes. ---

Truer all the time. I HATE the cold. TNP has never been to Mexico. ---

True TNP plans on watching a Thanksgiving Day parade. ---

False. Not a fan of parades. Or Thanksgiving TNP crosses at least one bridge (over water) on an average day. ---

False. No bridges here, just freeways. TNP has ridden a horse. ---

Yes, maybe a dozen times, but not in many years. TNP personally knows someone injured in a skiing accident. ---

True, if we may include water skiing. My ex-boss hit the water and split her legs like a wishbone, was bedridden for months. TNP has babysat a child alone within the past month. ---

No, it’s been a lot longer than that. TNP was well-paid as a babysitter in his or her teens. ---

Yes, if well paid was less than a dollar an hour. Do babysitters get more now? The next poster has big Thanksgiving plans today. ---

False, got a quiet lonesome day today. We have our big family gathering Saturday. The next poster also has a family Thanksgiving gathering that doesn’t actually fall on Thanksgiving. ---

True. Round one was today (Thanksgiving), but I’ll be needing my eatin’ pants again tomorrow for round two. TNP had some pumpkin pie today.
