Two Truths and a Lie?


Dev

Recommended Posts

  • Admin

Hello!

Now that I have time to be social, I'd like to get to know the folks who participate here.  Two truths and a lie is a fun little game I've used before to help with that.  I've never tried it in a forum, but why not? The game is simple: I'll post three things about myself.  If you'd like to play along, comment with a guess as to which one of those three things is an utter, shameful lie, along with three things about yourself, one of which isn't true.  Here we go!

  1. When I was working, I was "Miss Fix-It."  The company handed me failing business units so I could turn them around into productive teams.
  2. I have a beautiful dog and four adorable cats.
  3. I take more than ten prescription meds daily for various things.

Your turn! :D

I'll go with 3 as the lie.. 

1. While out for surgery I got a promotion.

2. I have a 2010 Pt Cruiser.

3. I worked at a veterinary clinic in HS as a kennel assistant.

Hmm.  For you, Marcie, I'm going to say there's a lie in number two somewhere. 

I'll wait and see how many others want to play before I reveal all. :D

Dev, I thought it was #2.  

Marcie, #2 is a lie.

For me:

1. I like to sew

2. I can fix anything

3. I love roller coasters

I may be projecting myself onto you, Jani, but I'm going to say your number three is a big fat lie. :lol:

Oh am I really that transparent?   You got me.   

My wife and son love them.  They terrify me!

Jani hit the nail on the head for me.  I'm not a crazy cat lady.  Yet.  I have one beautiful dog and just one adorable cat. :)

I will try. 

1) I won an honorable mention on my first quilt at the state fair. 

2)I am a computer whiz and work with computers. 

3) I work on a farm repairing things and doing what no one else will do. 

It looks like a fun game. Thanks for sharing.

Good ones, Rachael.  You made it hard to guess!  I'm going to have to say number two is the lie, because in my mind quilting and farming go together.

That's what i would have guessed Dev.  

Rachel i have to agree with Dev here your not a confuser wiz.

Here is mine.

1.  I had an art show called "Glass Quilts"

2. I produce over 45 gals. of maple syrup here in NJ each year.

3. We farm sheep.

 

Hugs,

Let's see...  I'd say for Rachael it's #2 also.  From Iowa where there's lots of quilts and lots of farms, but not lots of computers.  LOL

For you Charlize, I'd say #1 although I can't remember if you said you had chickens and goats or chickens and sheep.  But I know you've got a farm.  And while not exactly famous for maple syrup, I've seen maple syrup from NJ in the past so I'm going to believe you on that one.  Although 45 gallons is a LOT of syrup.  You'd have to tap a lot of trees to make that much.  I change my mind.  I'm going to say #3 is a lie instead. 

For me, I'm going to share these:

1. I graduated from HS at 16 and drove across the country to start college.

2. I'm into woodworking and made all of our furniture.

3. I love running and trail hiking.

I am with Briana, you farm goats Charlize. Racheal, I am going to go with 1. You probably won it. :)

Brianna, I am going to say 2, since not all furniture is made out of wood.

@Charlize - sheep?  I'm trying to remember what I've seen you say in the past about the farm.  I think I'm going to have to go with number two being your lie.  You farm, and my brain doesn't want to call a maple syrup outfit a farm.  Watch me be wrong about that.  These are getting harder!  I love it!

@Briana - You gave us an easy one with number three, since running and hiking are the first things listed in your interests at the left of your posts.  I think I'll go with number two being your lie.  If it's actually true, I'd love to see pictures of some of your work!

Charlize, maple syrup is a lie.

Brianna, graduating at 16 is a lie.

It's #2 computers and I do not get along well some days.i did get a ribbon at the fair. 

Charlize, 

#3 you have mentioned sheep in past posts if memory serves me. 

Briana,  

#2 I can see you doing woodworking but all of your furniture ? If you did then you did good. I think it's possible to graduate early rare but doable.

Ok i'll say #2 for Briana.  

1,  I did have a show called Glass Quilts

2,  We make anywhere from 45 to 60 gals of syrup from over 350 taps on vacuum using both an RO machine and a wood fired evaporator.

3.  16 of our GOATS are going to be sacrificed on the farm over this Islamic holiday.  We are vegetarians but try to provide for others who love goat meat and need it for their religious life (the sacrifice of Abraham).  We also try to give our animals a wonderful life.

 

Hugs,

Fun post!  My "lie" is #2.  I've built some, but not all for sure.  As for school, I stared just before I turned 5 based on the way the starting age structure was set up.  I was the 2nd youngest in my class.  "Kathy" was the youngest  by one day.  From there I took extra classes each quarter plus tested out of some the basics.  I had to wait to graduate till I was 16 due to drivers ed which was a requirement at the time where we lived.

1.  At a house of ill-repute, while I was sleeping off a night of imbibing, all of my clothes were stolen.

2.  As a country music DJ, I generated a crowd scene by repeatedly denying that Hank Williams, Junior, was eating at a local fried chicken  outlet.

3.  In my high school yearbook, I was voted "Most Humorous".

Link to comment

It's Number 3.

I didn't (and still don't) think Larry Jacks was all that funny.  They put me in an ill-fitting pharmacist smock, handed me a test tube and snapped my picture as "Most Intellectual".  I've never gotten over it.

:D:D:applause:    You were probably the funniest in that picture alone.  They just didn't see it.

      Good news is that I have nothing serious going on. The blood was coming from internal hemorrhoids, and the doctor says it's from the "typical American diet." Too much fat and carbs but not enough plant based fiber. A few other things were noted and biopsies on them for safety sake.    Hospital visit was grand with "most" of the staff addressing me as female. I did have "bra talk" with one of the CNA's. Even my discharged papers use my preferred name on them (Birdie).   So basically, adding more fiber to my diet will eliminate my internal hemorrhoids as well as lower my risk for cancer.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."

      There's a couple of things.  First, since so many LGBTQ+ folks often vote Democrat, it is simply assumed that "LGBTQ = Democrat."  And to many, Democrat = enemy.  The fact that some of us don't vote for Democrats comes as a surprise to many.  You wouldn't believe how many different times I have had to explain how I vote, that I don't like Biden, etc...   And then, there's the flamboyant, over-the-top appearance and behavior of some.  When average folks see strange dress, wild colors, and the occasional provocative behavior in the news, they assume that it is the norm and that all LGBTQ+ folks are like that.  To them, "LGBTQ = weird."    I think that @Abigail Genevieve is right, part of it is lousy marketing.  And that will take a ton of undoing, because it has been going on for years.

      Personally, I despise the antics of the "swing" states. Double-minded and unstable, shifting every time the wind blows.  OK, so the Lt Governor of Georgia doesn't like Trump.  Small potatoes.... given the 2020 results, nobody counts on Georgia anyways.

      Its midnight here...so, technically morning   I had a really weird evening, and learned something new about politics.  My sister, who is running for public office as our township constable, received a "present" today, left on the hood of her patrol car.  An axe!  Wrapped in a bundle of sticks (dowels?).  The sheriff received one also, and a couple other candidates.  Now, my first thought was it was meant as a threat, and I was freaked out when she told me.  But she wisely identified it as political criticism:   During the 2020 election, a small dissident minority objected to our sheriff, and labeled him "Mussolini."  Apparently the symbol of the F@scist Party came from ancient Rome.  An axe, circled with rods, and the whole bundle was called "fasces" and represented the authority of the state.  Roman officials would have them symbolically carried ahead of them through the city on parade.  Other nations used it too, including the USA.  But since the 1920s, it is mostly associated with a certain political party.  Either I was never taught this in high school, or I didn't notice it.    So, it appears that this election season will have some interesting aspects.  And I have been asked to put gold spray paint on an axe, to make it like a trophy.

      Welcome @Vivelacors!  For myself and many others here it is a similar theme.  But, I can assure it's never too late.  I hope that you will discover that as you explore and connect with more of us on the Forum.    You've already taken the most important first step ... Self-Affirmation.  I am wishing you the best in continuing this process. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      I can remember as a teenager being a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and living in the bible belt. It was always a little hard-I think religion is just tricky anyway.    I was referred to a couple of ladies at church by my mum who gave me very good advice.  One has known those who are are trans- and how they approched it.    The other has two people in their life who identify differently. They also gave other ideas to assist me.     I do like ideas though.

      If I am leaving the house I will almost always do makeup.  Not over-the-top but enough to feminize my face (eye shadow, mascara), lipstick, and a light cover of a concealer and foundation. I found my favorite lipsticks are Maybelline.  But the concealer/foundation I 'discovered' in Neutrogena Hydro Boost - Hyaluronic Acid based.  For 'older' gals like me I find it moisturizes and doesn't dry into those annoying fine lines (I have enough of those already).    Hopefully, after facial hair removal I might not feel the need as much.

      I think it just comes down to a lot of people not knowing anything about the lgbtq+ community besides what reactionaries online and on TV say. In my experience, people who have a lot more day-to-day contact with gay and trans people, have lgbtq+ friends or family, coworkers, etc. are a lot more accepting because they know an lgbtq+ person, and know that we aren't anything like what the people on TV say we are.

      Actually the bill seems to be so thoroughly confusing that I doubt that enforcement is even possible.  It could however incite vigilante style actions.  A false accusation against a "looks challenged" Cis woman is very likely to happen early on.  So what will happen in the case of those situations?  I have a script in mind over the sad average looking daughter of one of the legislators getting tangled into one of those situations.  I don't know whether it would be a comedy or a tragedy at the minute.
