Almost! I live on the other side of the hill from this.
TNP loves sunbathing.
Absolutely true!!! I so love it. I don't tan my face (I use Jergens Natural Glow for that), but I love to listen to music and lie in the sun for the rest of me. Heaven.Quote:

False; I just had a cup of coffee this morning. But before that it was true - I usually don't drink caffeine on the weekend.
TNP has purchased a power tool in the last three months.
Kinda true. I got this and it's billed as "Skincare's ultimate power tool." Hmm, that reminds me. I need to do a product review on my journal.Quote:

True - by my standards, at least.

False.
TNP plans to go to sleep early tonight
Relatively early. I've got to get to the gym bright and early tomorrow morning.
TNP has had a fellow driver flip them the bird/yell at them recently.
True. I was committing the sin of going only 79mph in the left lane. He pulled around me dramatically, flipped me the bird, pulled in front of me...and started going 80. Seriously. He pulled away so slowly that I started to laugh. :roll:

No. We use wood, but we do use it regularly.

TNP dislikes fried or scrambled eggs.
False. Eggs are faboo almost any way you make them.
TNP is listening to music right now.
False, aside from the jingle from a local car dealer ringing in my head. :smash:
TNP has never set foot inside the tropics.
True. But that might change this year if I go to Mexico (probably not).
TNP has never owned a pet.
False. Two pekingese, two parakeets, one N. African desert fox, and one cat held hostage in the milk chute while I went to school. I didn't wan't it to run away before lunchtime (Grade 2) when I could ask mom if I could keep it. Mom went nuts trying to find the source of the meowing.
The next poster watches darts matches on TV.
False - or at least not if I can help it!
TNP has been a member of a 'pub team' of some sort, whether it be quizzing or something more strenuous like darts or dominoes.
Nope although I used to like to play darts back in the early 80's.
TNP picked dandelions today.
Nope. My kid may pick some with me tonight, though.
TNP has sleep apnea.
False.
TNP has experienced a hurricane. (We're approaching hurricane season here in Florida.)
False! I flew out of Houston (on a planned vacation, how's that for luck?) like three hours before Ike crushed it, and flew back in time to drag downed tree branches out of my mom's backyard.
TNP has been scuba diving.
False - I like the idea of it, but I'm not sure I'd like using that breathing apparatus. Could I just snorkel along the surface instead?

True. Can't say it's one of my favourite ways to fly, but I've done it, and I'm planning to take my kid on a helicopter ride this summer.

TNP knows how to tie a bow tie.
False - I'd go with an elasticated one...or perhaps a motorized one!
TNP would like to hang-glide naked if it was warm enough.
On second thoughts, there'd be a lot of rubbing against delicate areas, so how about parachuting naked instead?
Well, I suppose if I was having enough of a mid-life crisis to take up parachuting, I'd probably be having enough of a one to parachute naked, so sure, whly not?
TNP knows a secret that is driving them nuts.
If it's about someone else, then false. I have plenty of dirt on plenty of friends, but it doesn't drive me nuts. If it's about me, then true. I've been lovesick over a young woman for a couple months now, and she doesn't know.
TNP regrets a missed opportunity with a secret love.
Well, yeah who hasn't regretted not acting on an attraction at some point in their lives?
TNP really hates playing voicemail tag, particularly with non-friends.
True. I despise voice mail in general, and there's no bigger waste of my time than wading through my voice mail menu to listen to a message that consists of "Hey, this is Bob. Call me back." The missed call alert tells me that already.
TNP secretly likes buffet-style restaurants.
True - I haven't got the world's greatest appetite, so the idea of just getting a little of what I fancy, then going back if I'm still hungry, appeals to me.
TNP has cheated on a partner.
yeah, 'fraid that's true.
TNP never has.
nope, 'fraid that's false.

False, but as of last week I'm a vegetarian.Quote:

Not yet, I've only been awake an hour and a half!! But tea is my morning drug and I've had 2 already.

False. Do it faithfully every night, and it helps.

Nah, got a new one just a couple years ago.

Well that one went over like a turd in the punch bowl, huh?Quote:

Not so much too early as got way too little sleep.

No, but then, I'm a Canadian, Remembrance Day is more our day for that kind of thing.
TNP has gone spelunking.
False - I've been in a couple of caves, but I've never had the urge to go seriously exploring them. All that rock above me is a bit disconcerting.
TNP has thought briefly about doing a streak.
Very briefly.
TNP had a less than satisfactory day today, on more than one level.
Well, I forgot to mail off & fax off some financial things so I'm a little pissed off. And I had a nice weekend but really didn't get anything done.

TNP has moonlighted.
True. I've worked in a hospital full time and the occasional flight nurse gig from time to time.

You bet. Non-impressive local ones, but beaches nonetheless.

True - if I'm out of my gourd on peyote and crack.

TNP knows how to perform CPR.
Um, I did, once. Like 25 years ago.

TNP has never held newborn kittens.
False, false, false! I have *delivered* kittens!
TNP's car is over 10 years old.

TNP has worn crotchless panties.
True.
TNP's scalp is starting to feel just a little bit itchy, now that I've drawn their attention to it.
Well, yeah. Damn you woman.

TNP has a mosquito bite right now.
True. Several, in fact.

TNP has never had an operation.
False, I've had my tonsils out, and my wisdom teeth removed under general anesthetic.
TNP always seems to be cold, no matter the weather.
False, it's exactly the opposite; I'm like a cast iron stove. Once I get heated up, I stay hot all day. Here in Texas, in the summer, most of my day is spent trying not to start sweating, because once I start, it's game over. For example, I get out of the shower in the morning and stand in front of the fan for five or ten minutes just to get my core temperature down to where I can get dressed for work and not be sweating already. I hate it.
TNP just mentally TLDRed my paragraph up there. :wink:
No, I forced myself to read it so that I could respond truthfully. I'm very committed to this thread :D
TNP bought a new gadget this weekend.
Not really, unless you consider a living room rug a gadget. ETA: We almost bought an air conditioner, though.
The next poster has been startled by their own reflection at some point.
Not that I can remember, though I suppose it's possible.
TNP really needs to find a new lunch place.

No, I like the meat, although I've got nothing against vegetables.
TNP promised themselves something as a child that they still haven't got, but mean to.

TNP uses a portable mp3 player not made by Apple.
True! For the most part, I hate Apple products. iPod is the worst because of iTunes. I have two MP3 players (one waterproof, one not) and neither are by Apple.Quote:

TNP has a favorite pair of old shoes, or other article of clothing, that by all means should be thrown out, but is just too comfortable to part with.
False; when it comes to my clothing, no one article is sacred.
TNP thinks most fast food joints are gross.
False. I don't eat much fast food, and have very little use for McDonalds in particular, but "gross" is too strong.
TNP could use a nap right now.
No actually I feel good. I'll need a nap later but workplace rules tend to frown on that sort of thing.
TNP is wearing shorts right now.
Nope; I have my "lawnmowin' pants" on. (And you can imagine just how attractive *these* bad boys are!)
The next poster is planning a home renovation this summer.
Oh hell no. In fact, I'm more likely this summer to move into an apartment or condo, partly to avoid home maintenance.
TNP regularly reads comic strips.
I do!
Big Dilbert and Doonesbury fan. Mr. Boffo, too.
TNP has recently been trapped in a stall without toilet paper.
False for two reasons: of late I have only been in high-class joints where the toilet paper never runs out, and also, I carry tissue with me at all times because in Indonesia the risk of finding oneself needing TP is very high.
TNP lost their virginity under rather hilarious circumstances, at least when viewed in retrospect.
Heh, sure, but I imagine that's true of everybody.
TNP alway makes sure they have a pen with them.
Only at work.
TNP was out of milk this morning.
False, I had some, but didn't use any. All I had was coffee before leaving, and I take it black.
TNP has peed his or her pants (more than just a post-bathroom drip) in the past five years.
False; thank Nature herself!
TNP doesn't swim in swimming pools, either because of the chlorine, or because they think it's unsanitary.
False. I really like the smell of chlorine.
TNP takes some kind of vitamin every day
I do take vitamins daily.
TNP poster watches old Popeye cartoons.
Never. I bet my husband would if could, though.

TNP has posted to this thread more than me.
True. I've apparently got over 140 posts in this thread, somehow or other.
TNP is, after four days, still thinking about CairolCarol's crotchless panties a little too much.

TNP has eaten camel meat.
No, but this weekend I ate: beef, veal, goat, wild boar and pheasant. (Italian wedding...)
TNP: Dislikes white walls in their house.
True, but weakly. I prefer some tinge of color to my walls, but it's really neither here nor there.
TNP has posted most to Jibba Jabba.
Had to check, but false. I've posted the most to Games and Sports, and specifically to this thread.
TNP wishes for, but doesn't really believe in, an individual afterlife.
True, I guess, I'd kinda like to keep having fun, but I don't think it's real, and maybe that's for the best.
TNP kinda wishes they'd had some ice cream today.
False. I'm not really an ice cream fan. I don't normally crave sweets.Quote:

TNP is considering starting a "Ask the _______" thread.
True, but I have no specialized knowledge that I've been formally trained in that I also find personally interesting. So I've been hedging against the thread.
TNP frequents a coffee shop.
Well, I go to the same Starbucks almost every day, but it's always to take out, so I don't know if that counts as "frequenting".
TNP has lost something recently and is going nuts trying to figure out where it is.
More or less true. The other day I realized I was missing my passport, my son's passport, and over USD 3,000 worth of airline tickets. I had no memory of what I might have done with them after putting them in my purse at the travel agent's, but they were not in the purse, nor were they in the safe where I should have immediately stashed them. Talk about a panic-inducing realization. (Luckily they turned up on the bookcase next to the dog crate, where I had evidently set them down in order to release the dogs when I got home.)
TNP is saying to themselves, "Three thousand dollars worth of airline tickets? Shit, who spends that kind of money on tickets?"(*)
(*) answer: people who live in Indonesia but have to travel to Hawaii, New York and Guadalajara for assorted family reasons. Part of the cost is covered by my husband's employer, thank goodness.
Well since you answered it, no I am not wondering.
TNP really needs to fix their BBQ now that nice weather is upon them.
No, I think the barbecue's good enough. My wife's the only one who uses it, anyway.
TNP wonders why people schedule meetings for Friday afternoons.
False - but now that you mention it, it's probably so that if they end up going on a bender, they've got all weekend to continue it or recover.
TNP can see a whopping raincloud if they look outside and is thinking, "I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere.".
False, it's a great day here, and I'm looking forward to going adventuring with my kid.
TNP is kinda dreading next week.
Meh... the weeks are allt he same to me these days. Not dreading it any more than any other week.
TNP has comforted a crying child/puppy/kitten already today.
False; though I did warmly greet my bird, as though she'd have it any other way.
TNP would do high school over again, knowing what he or she does today.
True. There's a teacher I have in mind, too. She was hawt. :wink:Quote:

TNP had a really weird dream last night.
Hmm....I'm really lousy at remembering my dreams, unless there's something really wild going on...so, while I have an idea that I had a dream last night, I can't quite remember it now, so I guess it couldn't have been really weird.
TNP could eat eggs at every meal.
I like eggs, but not that much. Ugh.
TNP is looking forward to upcoming time off.
Eerily true. The next 2-3 months are gonna be hell as I have an incredible amount of work and family demands (I started to summarize them here, but even a summary would edge into TLDR territory real fast so I deleted my whining). However, if I can just stay sane until September, as long as nothing unexpected crops up I should be able to take it easy for a while.
The next poster has been in a romantic relationship with someone that their family and/or friends did not approve of.
False...at this time I don't really have a romantic relationship with ANYONE. :-(
TNP was up and out of bed before 5 AM today.

Usually an hour before. I have plenty to do, and have to be in early to beat the traffic.
TNP likes strawberries and cream.
If the strawberries are good, absolutely.
TNP grows some kind of food on their property.
False. The yard belongs to the dogs.
TNP has to run to the grocery for something today.
"Have to" might be a bit strong, but I'm thinking of picking up some beer. :smile:
TNP keeps more than one species of pet ATM.
Wut is a pet Automated Teller Machine? I used to work on them, but wouldn't call them pets.
ATM = at the moment, methinks.
False; I have the one cockatiel.
TNP thinks NASCAR is boring.
True. Turning left 225 times = just kill me now. I find it hard to believe that most NASCAR viewers aren't hoping for a crash, (not involving their favorite driver, of course) the fierier the better.
TNP has left the house, having inadvertantly put on non-matching shoes.
Yeah, not lately, but I've done it.
TNP could eat a donut right about now.
Yes, if by "a donut" you mean the internet, and by eat you mean "post alot on". Otherwise, no.
TNP really wants to see this thread get to 1000 replies.
Huh, I thought we were already there, but yes, yes I do.
TNP is very fond of Orangina.
False. Pulpy is not a selling point for me.
TNP has never ridden on public transit.
Yes, but it's been a while. Where I am, public transit is like igloos - a large amount of hassle for dubious convenience.
TNP likes to ski/snowboard.
I liked ski-ing but have only been once, for a week. Never got round to gving it another go! The idea of snowboarding terrifies me!
TNP needs to do repairs on their house.
False, AFAIK (I can't be sure since the house we own is in the US and we're in a rented house in Indonesia).
The next poster could not say with absolute certainty which countries share a border with South Africa.
I thought I could and had to go and check. I was wrong, forgot Mozambique. And embarrassed - I lived in SA for 7 years...
TNP takes showers that are far too hot and long to be decent.
(usually) false. I normally and in and out as quickly as I can get.
TNP has at least one Billy Joel CD in their collection.
False. I like me some Billy, but he's so saturating on classic rock radio that I get my fix.
TNP is one of the top 20 posters on DoMeBo in number of posts.
False; as of this post, I'm all the way back on page three, in descending order.
TNP likes to play minigolf.
I love it, but I haven't been in a couple of years.
TNP's neighborhood is on the route of an ice cream truck.
I wish.
TNP touches wood when they've said something optimistic.
False. I'm so averse to appearing superstitious that it's almost a superstition in itself. :D
TNP has jumper cables, a jack and a working spare tire in their car right now.
Damn, I should check. I think there's jumper cables in the emergency kit, but I haven't looked in a while, which is stupid.
TNP is feeling like doing something really crazy, but can't quite decide what.
True! Our rugrat has gone on a school trip, leaving my husband and I child-free for two blissful nights. We're contemplating our options for making the best use of the time.
TNP speaks a second language well enough to conduct cocktail party chit-chat in that language.
Yes!! I could do it in Italian.
TNP enjoyed Phys. Ed. at school.
True, for the most part. I didn't mind it until high school when it seemed more important not to get all sweaty and gross.
TNP prefers non-fiction to fiction books.
No, I read about 5x as much fiction as non-fiction (probably more).
TNP skipped a meal in the last 23.9 hours.
False, I had three squares yesterday, and I ate a Slim-Fast bar for breakfast today (in a rush, not trying to lose weight).
TNP likes Indian food.
I love Indian food. It's one of my favorites, but my fiancee won't eat it so it's a rare treat for me.
TNP owns a Phil Collins CD.
False. I got no Phil. I don't even think I have a lonely Collins track on my iTunes.
TNP has traveled on a plane this year.
No, not so far, got a trip coming up in August.
TNP has a bad back.
True, it only flares up from time to time, but this week is one of those times. But hey, it only hurts if I move or breathe. :roll:
TNP loves unusual and exotic cheeses.
Um...depends on what you consider unusual and exotic.
TNP has contacted or been contacted by someone from their distant past this week.
Several times. It's called "Facebook." Where have all these people been? :)
TNP lives within 500 miles of where they were born.
Yeah, I do, although I've lived thousands of miles away at one time or another.
TNP doesn't live in the country they were born in.
Nope, still live there.
w00t, 1000 posts!
TNP loves the delicious taste of bacon.
