Oh, we may stay up and watch the ball drop, but we may not even do that. The Next Poster gave someone a Christmas gift that was greatly appreciated. ---

False. I participated in 2 white elephant exchange and both of my gifts were complete fails. TNP witnessed an adult crying within the past week. ---

Did it yesterday. Went to an after-Christmas party with family and friends, and all pitched in. Most are good cooks. The Next Player looks to 2019 with more hope than fear. ---

True. I hope to turn 60 and do not fear the prospect. TNP is not a dedicated follower of fashion ---

Very true. TNP ate Chinese food on Christmas, or will eat it New Year’s Eve. ---

If a single, leftover spring roll counts then yes. TNP really likes a nice Kung Pow Chicken. ---

True, but it must have peanuts and green onions. TNP has been on a diet during the past year ---

False. I gave up dieting decades ago. Now I eat when I’m hungry and eat whatever I want. TNP plans to diet this year. ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > False. I gave up dieting decades ago. Now I eat when I’m hungry and eat whatever I want. > > TNP plans to diet this year. False. At least in a formal sense. I am trying to lose weight and hope to exercise more and eat “better.” But not what I think of as an actual “diet.” TNP generally exercises 4 or more times per week for at least 40 minutes at a time. ---

True. I try to walk that much or more every day. The Next Poster is currently reading or re-reading a book by Isaac Asimov (whose birthday is today), or J. R. R. Tolkein (whose birthday is tomorrow). ---

False, although I’ve read a lot by both authors at one time or another. TNP knew that Asimov complained when the filming of \*Ghostbusters \*tied up traffic in his neighborhood. ---

False. Worth a chuckle though. TNP has read some or all of an Asimov novel (I Robot, Foundation series etc…) (Disclosure, I’ve read some short stories by him, no novels…) ---

False, not an SF fan. TNP owns at least one lottery ticket that he or she has not checked yet. ---

False, I’ve never bought a lottery ticket. TNP has read a Robert Heinlein novel. ---

True, but my sci-fi days are so many decades in the past that I could not name with certainty the Heinlein novel(s) I read. :smack: TNP propositioned, or was propositioned by, a transvestite while misguessing the gender of said proposition{ee,er}. ---

Wow, um, no. TNP has not bothered to watch the last two seasons of The Big Bang Theory ---

False. I’ve kept up with the show pretty consistently. TNP has a theory as to what Penny’s actual last name is. ---

False. No clue, since I’ve seen only one or two episodes of TBBT. TNP has seen all episodes of at least one of these shows, Seinfeld, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones.
