Ten Truths and One Lie

insideoutlet (57)in #writing • 7 years ago (edited)

Time to get to know one another!

I must sadly admit I know very little about most of the people I interact with here on Steemit, so I was pleasantly surprised when @byn tagged me in her post 10 Truths and a Lie: Win 0.5SBD! How well do you know me?, all thanks to @traciyork's initial 10 truths & 1 Lie.

I loved reading @byn's post and was excited that the tag was actually a callout to participate. I learnt more in one post than I had in weeks of prior interaction, although I am still to find out which is the lie, lol… So here I am to share a little more of me in an attempt to get to know you better, I hope you will all join me in doing this fun activity and get to know your fellow Steemian’s along the way.

Won’t you join me? Guess the lie and tell your truths!

Let the tales begin… Truth or lie is for you to decide…

I spent a year of my life being home-schooled while travelling around Australia in an old school bus that had been fitted out for a family of five and a dog. We saw all things BIG, the BIG Pineapple, the BIG Ram, the Big Banana, the Big Lobster, I could go on, but you get the point.
Besides my year home-schooled on a bus, I led a rather boring school life, moving with all my friends from primary to high school forging some great friendships along the way, I still talk with many of them regularly even 20 years on, now that’s telling my age.
I built a house out of mud bricks with my family and helped another family build theirs out of stone. It took years but the best parties can be had when it’s ok to throw mud.
I have two sisters and two brothers, which belong to two mothers and three fathers, all of the fathers have passed away.
I have a lowered dog called Pia, she is now fifteen years old and recently had surgery to remove eight teeth and a hysterectomy due to endometriosis.
I travelled to the UK when I was 19 leaving behind, my uni degree, my boyfriend and my apartment with 50 pound in my pocket and the promise of a job at the other end.
I am an accountant, graduating with a double degree in Accounting and Finance, I worked for large corporate companies for ten years before switching to not for profit roles to explore my ability to give back more. I also cut my hours down to part-time so I could volunteer my time more freely.
I used to ride my motorbike with my parachute strapped to my back to the drop zone to skydive every weekend for about a year. We slept in swags on the hanger floors and jumped many a morning hungover. It’s the best cure if you can survive the flight up.
I have no large intestine, appendix, or rectum, they were removed from the age of 26 to 29. I have died twice in my life and am not ready for a third. One of those times as I was dying I was sure I saw my fathers, they promised me they would look after me and I told my mother to let me go, she didn't have to worry as they had promised to keep me safe.
I married the most amazing man on Koh Samui Island five years ago, the day before Songkran, it rained all day, stopped just before our ceremony and then poured down as the last song was finishing playing, bringing in the new year and the water festival.
I won two awards last year, one which took us to the US to participate in a Health World Congress Event. I had to fly home to fly over to the US as I found out I had won the award at 2:30am while at another event where I was being recognised for youth advocacy and awareness work.

So can you guess the lie?

I will split 50% of the SBD with all the people who correctly guess the lie and explain why they believe it is an lie. I will reveal the answer after payout to keep the fun going for as long as possible. Be creative with as to why you think it’s not true, all guesses will get an upvote from me, the more creative the high % upvote regardless of if you guess right.

No other rules, although I would always appreciate an upvote for both of us of course 50% could be yours and a resteem to keep it interesting, I hope to have at least one person guess it.

I’m excited to see your answers, thanks again @byn. I would to see ten truths and one lie from as many of you as I can but I am calling out a few with particular curiosity, some because I am interested to know how well I actually know them and others just to get to know them more. @erodedthoughts @imaginedragon @dreemsteem @lyncoyle1 @lilyraabe @mandelsage, ok more than a few but you know the rule right, invite twenty, ten say yes and five actually do it… @hitmeasap @yogajill @frankabelle @helenoftroy @mineolopy @mejustandrew @powellx5 @saysme @sift666 @tarazkp @hottostartablog @creepyturtle @davemccoy @galenkp…

_{Please note you not required to give any SBD away to guess the lie, that is a choice I made in the hope again for more interaction with you lovely people.}

I am a bit unsure if the lie is the whole comment or the lie is part of a comment, The only thing I know about you really is not really about you, is that I said your hubby seems cool, lol
I will go with number 3,

I hereby submit my formal analysis:

First, I'll assume that all the details in all 9 of the truths are all true, and that the lie has no piece in it that is true.

With our interactions so far, I believe I remember you mentioning the Sky-diving, the exotic marriage and that you are an accountant. So scratch those three!

After a quick bit of due diligence, I found evidence of a certain cute, black, 15-year old puppy ;) - Scratch that one as well!

As for the other true ones, I'll stop revealing my analysis for them so that others can't cheat by reading this comment! ;P

So then... The lie... Well, it has to be number 2! The rules of this game are generally like that... Hide the lie amongst some crazy sounding truths... At first I thought, nah, it's a trick! She knows that I know the rules and is making me choose it, but it is true! But no... This being the first round, I'm not convinced you thought you needed to be that clever... ;) So number 2 it is! ^^
