I would say #2–because the Biblical Isaac had 12 children, I believe.

I know very little about the generations preceding my grandparents—especially on my mother’s side.

I didn’t know my maternal grandfather’s name until recently.

Was your GGG grandfather killed by another drunken buggy man?

No, he did it with his own stupidity on the way home from a fair. Drunk horse and buggy.

The father of the main character in D.H Lawrence’s “Rainbow” almost died the same way.

Was anybody from your family born in a prison?


1. I took the 1990 Census in Briarwood, Queens.

2. I worked the 2000 Census in the Jamaica, Queens office.

3. I took the 1980 Census in Creedmoor State Hospital, in Queens.

That's true. I hadn't thought of it but yes, I remember The Rainbow.
I guess Robert wanted to see what was on the other side (of the rainbow)?

I know a lot about my family because I've done (obsessive) genealogical research in the last few years. I started because I used to know nothing about my dad's paternal side (my surname side). I've recently filled in quite a few blanks in every area of my family tree. I can go back to the 1600s on some lines.

To my knowledge no one was born in prison, although several died at Saltaire and other workhouses.

#1 for you.

By random luck and intuition.

1. I'm wearing a Green Day tshirt
2. I need to empty an entire room tomorrow
3. I miss a friend from WP, quite terribly

I hope #2 is a lie lol

You’re wearing the t-shirt of another rock group—so #1 is the answer.

1. I was born in 1961

2. My father was born in 1933

3. My maternal grandmother was born in 1904

I have a Green Day shirt but I'm not wearing it right now (nor am I wearing my SP shirt). So yes, #1 is a lie.
2 and 3 are true.



3 is false for you.

My father was born in 1932.

I thought my grandmother was born in 1905 until I saw her death certificate.

Is it #3? I sense that you don’t like to be constricted while you’re sleeping. I’ve never purposely slept in my socks, except maybe a few times when I was really cold.

1. I was born in a Jewish hospital.

2. I was born in Manhattan.

3. I was born in Queens.

You're right. I'd go crazy in socks. In fact I had a meltdown as a child because I slept at someone else's house and their parents wanted me to sleep in a sleeping bag (! !! !!) with socks on. I flipped out and needed to leave. I need bare feet and they need to stick out from the covers or else I feel trapped.

2.
