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

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.

Well, most of you got this right. Number 2 is not only a lie....it's ridiculous! Hiking....I don't think so, and camping...not unless if have a full RV with a bathroom and shower. There are bugs and other creatures in tents...and no electricity. The other three are actually true. I've building my song library for years, and spend lots of time on ITunes. Anna Karenina really is my favorite novel...and there even a few smutty parts to it. It's actually time for me to read again..I reread it every couple of years and love it every time. And yes, the "foot thing". I don't even know how to explain this, but having my feet massaged completely relaxes me....and that "high" actually lasts a few days. It's very strange...so I do it as often as I can. I tried to teach DH, but he wasn't particularly interested in learning. Today is actually my "foot" day....so I'll be in a great mood later this afternoon. LOL

It was the pillows that gave you away. We have more in common than just Murphy and Vern, because I am with you on the camping. Only in an RV. Our friends went canoeing for three weeks in Canada and wanted us to go. They stopped each night and just pitched a tent...no toilets, etc. I asked if I could bring luggage and where did I plug in my hair dryer and they withdrew the invitation.

JANE! I LOVE my feet massaged too! DH - tried to teach him too.... but guess he's smarter than I thought... it's not that he never learns... just figured out that it quite annoys me when he stays in one spot and I tell him to 'forget it' LOL

I used to be a NO WAY - NOT in this life-time non-camper... but then I had 2 boys... BUT the whole public bathrooms and shower really creep me out still... we go camping out at Montauk - the tip of Long Island and it's right on the beach (well you camp over the dunes - not ON the beach) but the sound of the ocean waves all night is very soothing... and during the day - you get to spend the entire day at the beach - my favorite spot in the whole world.. it's a very relaxing week -

My family can NOT believe I actually do this almost every year - But - I'm such a germ freak that I'd rather sleep in my 'luxury tent' with my own sheets and bedding than some hotels....
