Now That We Know What You Look Like, Let's Learn More! UPDATE:ANSWERS

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I volunteer at an Assisted Living Retirement Facility and I do game night every Thursday night. I get so tired of word games and am constantly trying to find something new to play that gets met with some response other than, "This is so Stupid!"  Recently, I tried a new game. I asked each resident to write down four things about themselves. Three of the things must be the truth and one should be a lie. It was our job to then guess the lie. Unfortunately, I am dealing with the very elderly and was getting responses like: 1) I am a woman 2) I have gray hair 3) I am wearing a blue shirt 4) I went to the moon...so the answer was pretty obvious, but in a few rare cases we learned some interesting facts.

So, here is the challenge. Write four interesting facts about yourself. Three must be the truth and one is a lie. The rest of us will try to guess the lie! Let's see who is the best guesser on DK!  Here are mine:

1.) I love to sing Karaoke and once won a Karaoke contest singing Eye of the Tiger.

2.) In the last few years, I have seen Beyonce, Usher/Trey Songz, Michael Buble, Sugarland, and Brad Paisley in concert and my absolute favorite is Michael Buble.

3.) I do not drink any alcohol.

4.) I played competitive co-ed volleyball for years.

 

P.S. Hold off on giving any answers until people are done guessing. I will post an update and then we can all tell which is the lie. This is hard :)

 

Well, I learned some facts today. We have some inpatient people on DK..LOL. I won't mention any names.. OK, here is my lie. Go ahead and give your answer too.  If anyone wants to tally up who had the most correct answers, I will post that too. If no one volunteers, I will do it later today.

 

My lie is #1. I have a terrible singing voice and once when I was singing to the American Idol game on the Wii (I think), my SIL and DD said it sounded like an animal was dying. They made Simon seem kind.

I have been to all those concerts and did play volleyball.

My husband said the reason I don't drink is because he has to drink, in order to survive me :) No reason..not against drinking, etc. I just don't like the taste. I hate tea, coffee, most juices, and Kool Aid type drinks too. I did like that almost everyone thought I was a drunk. Please don't kick me out of Yappy Hour because my drink of choice is Root BEER.

Soul mate :)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I knew it...I guessed this one because I thought a high school cheerleader cheered for ALL high school sports, not just one. I love Glee too and have been known to download a song or two. I think I remembered in Yappy Hour or a post where you used a cuss word and I just knew #4 was true. It is a very bad habit for me too, especially when I drive.

[Linda and Murphy]

I am so glad you weren't a cheerleader. ;-)

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

I see that it is time to fess up to the truth.
1.  I lived in Singapore for a year.  I almost lived in Singapore - this is my lie as at the last minute - I just couldn't do it.

2. I was at the Atlanta Olympics when the bomb blew up.  True - We were on a corporate trip at the time and although it was very scary we all decided to stay and just keep attending the events.  I was right where the bomb exploded two hours before it went off. 

3. Jane isn't my real name.  True - I was named Donna after my dad, Don - Jane is my middle name - they never called me Donna though.  Legally I'm Donna Jane

4. I wanted to be a professional ballet dancer.  True - but I grew up poor and by the time I could afford the lessons (by working for the teacher) it was too late in life.  At only 5'2 I didn't have a dancer's body so it wouldn't have worked out anyway.

[Anna and Achilles]

I guessed right! I think I better go back and check!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Wrong again! This game is hard. I almost guessed #1........

[Anna and Achilles]

The Truth.....

1. I am incredibly shy, have improved some with age. I feel very comfortable here on DK, so I guess that is why it was tricky.

2.I buy frames for pictures I have not even thought of taking yet. DH thinks I need a 12 step program!

3. Killer serve that the other teams dreaded, however not a great player the rest of the game.

4. Dear Dear Great Great and many more greats Grandfather Abe is the lie

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Anna, I really think your DH and mine should get together on the picture frame "issue".  Two years ago, we took all the unused picture frames out of the basement (still in the wrapping) and put them into our community tag sale.  We got rid of them all, and DH was so happy about having them out of the basement.  You know what?  I just started over...I can't resist them when they're on sale.  Now there are several new bags in the basement...just ready and waiting for me to take, print, and hang the photos.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Anna, You sure tricked me. I did not think you were shy. I figured Abe Lincoln had to be true, since it was so out of the ordinary. Thinking again....always gets me trouble :)

[Linda and Murphy]

okay, you are a great liar.

[Phoebe's Mom]

My answers are

1) Yes, I do laundry 365 without exception

2) Yes, I never ever wanted to be married (or have children) but married at 24 (after a 6 weeks courtship), waited 8 years and then had 4 children.

3) Yes, I did come in second in the national French contest in HS

4) No, I never taught Spanish

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Shoot...I picked three. I thought you taught Spanish. Darno...my Spanish for darn.
