Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

Do not worry. I am the confused one here! No, i am not mechanically-inclined at all. I admire everyone who is,though. As we Germans say, i have two left hands

I can't even put together something from IKEA. That's pretty bad LOL

1. I choked on a large, crescent-shaped slice of celery to the point I blacked out; I was revived by a waitress who performed the hiemlich (sp?) on me

2. I was nearly drown in a wave pool in California because I liked the sound underwater; I passed out and was rescued by a lifeguard named Biff

3. I was electrocuted on a pizza display (the metal tower of slices) when I was in the Caribbean (I had wet feet and a metal pair of food tongs -- the pizza tower had a short).

...does it count if in the group chat I use to communicate with some of the other members of the team I volunteer on, I set my nickname as "The Resident Toolbag"?

e; I guess #2. Maybe the lifeguard had a different name. ...every time I hear the name Biff, I keep thinking to the character from the "Back to the Future" movie series.

Yes, 2 is a lie. I did know a lifeguard named Biff, but he worked at Newport Beach and not a wave pool. I'm not a wave pool type of person because they're too crowded.

1. I knew a kid named Bruce.

2. I knew a kid named Butch.

3. I knew a kid named Tolten.

2? 1 is common, 3 is interesting

The answer is #2. Correct. I only knew a "Butch" from the "Little Rascals." Bullies tended to be named Butch in old movies.

I did not know Bruce's last name.

The Tolten's last name was Jenkins. He wrote a (badly-spelled) insulting note stating that I was the "stupydyst kid in the hole werld." (not the exact spelling, as I recall).

1. When I was young I decided I would never get married because I wouldn't know what to do with my husband's body if he died in the house. I didn't want to be accused of murder for dragging a guy outdoors.

2. When I was young I was afraid of dense forests because I thought the trees might grab me with their branches (fingers).

3. When I was young I wanted to move to Colorado and live with Mork and Mindy. I'm not sure whom I liked better.

We are on the same level, then. I am a born theoretician...

1. When I was about 8, I wondered what the person I was "supposed to marry" was doing at that very moment I was in. At that age, I just assumed that marriage was supposed to happen when someone gets older.

2. I once laid on a bed staring at an empty light socket, trying to envision what sort of future self would be staring back in that moment.

3. I used to wonder if I had some sort of hidden ability that was suppressed, and had to somehow learn to tap into it.

All three sound eerily relatable, for i am guilty of all three of them...

#2 is the lie?

I'm thinking #2 myself.

#1 for Isabella. Just too macabre....and there weren't many of these sorts of movies in the 1970s.

1 is true. I heard a report on the news about most men dying before their wives. I started to worry about outliving a husband and imagined every detail of not knowing what to do. I wasnt macabre, but rather this was an early example of my executive dysfunction (not knowing how to problem solve), my anxiety, and my fear of being abandoned.

2 is true

3 is my lie.

2 is true actually. I was around 6, and I had just come home from school, which is why I was on the bed in the first place.
