    Fortunately not. I've had the same job for more than 10 years now, and hope to keep it.

    TNP has at least one grandparent still alive.

    Hmm, not easily by the standards of my parents' generation, but pretty easily by the standards of my kid's.

    TNP is going to eat pizza tonight.

    Correct. A small gold belt buckle which was a high school graduation present - just wore it today! Still in very good shape.

    TNP owns at least three belts.

    False; I'm not a huge fan of the sport and they seem to be dicey investments at best.

    I am, a bit. As a rabid Anglophile I'm glad that the games will be in London, and that they'll occur during the Queen's 60th year on the throne.

    TNP is interested in the British monarchy.

    The current monarchy, not very much. The history of the British monarchy, yes. The British monarchy was still reeling from the advent of the tabloid age when the internet age blindsided it and ran it down in the street, and poor QEII had front row seats for the whole thing.

    TNP is a US Civil War buff.

    True, and wouldn't have even known they were on last night but for friends' Facebook remarks. Not having cable or satellite TV is a contributing factor.

    Nope. Love them, but no space for one in our condo townhouse.

    False - I like tomato, and it is necessary for things like salsa and pizza, but I can generally take 'em or leave 'em. Even if they're OMG GROWN IN SUMMER HAND PICKED SUPER TOMATOES which are supposedly the epitome of deliciousness.

    TNP like brussels sprouts.

    True! Brussels sprouts are one of those foods, like anchovies, that I grew up assuming I hated just because they were punchline foods, but discovered to be delicious later in life.

    No. I'm not a huge candy person in general, but when I want it, I want it sweet.

    TNP likes Belgian beer.

    TRUE. BELGIAN BEER IS AWESOME. Duvel is the workhorse, but I love the big sweet Trappist ales, I love lambics (I prefer tart, un-messed-with ones to the fruity kind, but I'll take either), and even their mass-consumption stuff like Stella is tops in its class. I would love to take a beer vacation to Belgium.

    TNP has been to a horse race.

    False. I'll watch a car race on TV for a few minutes at most, and have never been to one in person.

    False; closest I ever met was John Amos, star of TV's Good Times and supporting actor in The Beastmaster. No patch on Mr. Amos, but it's pretty sad that that's the best I can do.

    TNP has met a Hall of Fame athlete.

    If the High School (and College) Football Hall(s) of Fame count, correct. I met Ohio State star running back Archie Griffin when I was about ten and he came to my school to promote reading.

    (OCS, John Amos was also the tough-as-nails admiral who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on The West Wing. Be proud!)

    TNP knows someone who's worked at the Pentagon.

    Sure: my dad. He officially worked for the U.S. General Accounting Office, but for most of my childhood, his duties comprised a years-long audit of the DoD -- and an office at the Pentagon. By the time I was in high school, he was auditing the Department of Energy. (I probably knew others without knowing it; growing up in suburban Maryland, lots of people worked for the federal government.)

    True, this morning in fact, but I trim my fingernails every 4-5 days anyway. They grow pretty fast and since I play the guitar, any growth that I can feel is instantly annoying. Toenails I usually let go for a week or two.

    Not that recently, no. Last time I was in the hospital was... hmm. I can't even remember when. Probably in the past three or four years, though.

    True. Both my husband and I are adamant that the only comfy pillow is a well-worn, very squished, down pillow. As a consequence, we only buy new pillows about every 5-10 years.

    TNP has gained more than 5 pounds since they were 18.

    False. We had a three month trial that came with the car, but we let it lapse and I usually just listen to local radio or Pandora while driving around.

    TNP has a fire of some sort burning right now.
