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.

Hmmm.. jogging AND tennis???? I think #4

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

I have no idea why, but I think I'll go with #4.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

#4 for me too.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I don't know why, but I think #4 is a lie.

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

I somehow can't picture you jogging.  Walking with Gracie, yes.  Tennis, absolutely and since you live in SCalif. I am guessing you could have been involved in politics and gotten to the Nixon Ball.  Hard to imagine you did not go to college though!  Hmm...maybe that is the lie, but then, maybe you got married instead.  I am going with #3.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Aw...this was no fun...most all of you guessed #4 and you were correct...That is the lie.  I ran all over the tennis courts for 15 years, quit and now play golf and walk all the courses.  BUT...I HATE RUNNING OR JOGGING!!!  I almost said a Gourmet Cook...would you have believed that!!!  I don't get it how you all guessed it so easily???  My husband and two kids played tennis but only my daughter went on to play in college.  She also did cross country and track.  My husband ran marathons and all three jog for exercise so why did everyone say...Tennis players don't jog???? 

 

1.  I played competitive tennis and played in the USTA Senior Nationals in the semi-finals against Puerto Rico.

2.  I attended the Inaugural Ball in Washington, DC for Nixon in 1973.

3.  I never went to college.

4.  I love to go jogging.

Nancie, you are a quiet soul, you are a fantastic cook. you dont need to run and play.  :)

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Okay, I will give it a try:

1. I have run 5 Marathons

2. I helped deliver one of Donald Trumps' babies.

3. I have come within 10 ft of a Black Bear in Alaska and live to tell about it.

4. I can speak 3 languages, fluently.

[Sharon & Monty]

i think that the only thing you have run from is a bear!

 

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

You'd run too I bet!!!!

[Linda and Murphy]

This is tough...Marathons and Black Bears..okay.

[Camilla and Darwin]
