Or maybe my mind is clearer now.....:D
no its not 2.... i dont SPEND $300 on mags but i work in the magazine industry and read ALOT of magazines (reaserch and all that) - alot are from overseas also and alot are arty collectable ones that cost $20ea
its a bit embarassing when i look at what it would all add up to per year:blush:
We lived in Memphis from 74 till 80 or 81...my hubby worked in radio there at WMPS. Ever listen to Rick Dees or Ron Jordon when they were there? It was the #1 station most of the time. Shared #1 with WHBQ.Quote:

Well, you kind of ruined the "guesses" by telling us we were wrong on number two and explaining why. That leaves a coin flip. Anyone has a 50-50 shot. That's why you don't reveal until you are satisfied no one is going to guess correctly or unless someone gets it right. I went with the most logical, as always, since I don't guess, I make logical deductions. No way could I see anyone spending that kind of money on magazines. You don't; you are in the busines, something I didn't think of. If you hadn't explained, others might have suggested one of the other two. Try us again!Quote:

OK, Granny Sandy, since I make people think.
1.) I have read & written poetry since childhood, and can recite many poems by heart. However, I find reciting them in a British accent helps me remember them better and I am less apt to make mistakes.
2.) I can and have written some of my best poetry on the first draft and within six or seven minutes, and this includes fairly complicated form poems. When I am “in the grove” words simply flow.
3.) Despite a large vocabulary and even flashes of other languages that appear in my poems, I graduated High School with a low B, due to a touch of dyslexia and some problems with Math, and currently have only an AAS degree which is in General Studies. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor’s and too lazy and sick to go back, realizing it would change nothing about my situation.
Go for it!
Didn't see that before
...I'll go with 3 :nod:
One vote for 3. Anyone else?
Well, since Pixie is one of my favorite people, and she got it in one, I will give her one of the smiles she likes: http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/sportlich/c025.gif and explain about these things:
1.) I have read & written poetry since childhood, and can recite many poems by heart. However, I find reciting them in a British accent helps me remember them better and I am less apt to make mistakes.
Un-huh: See, the extra effort of keeping the British accent going helps keep me focused on the poem I am reciting. I used to do Dr. Seuss stories by heart, and breaking down each character into a different accent helped me keep that straight.
2.) I can and have written some of my best poetry on the first draft and within six or seven minutes, and this includes fairly complicated form poems. When I am “in the grove” words simply flow.
Yes. I write the vast majority of my poems on a first draft. I have written poems that people here have given rave reviews in stunningly little time. But I get writers block and can't pull nothing together for weeks.
3.) Despite a large vocabulary and even flashes of other languages that appear in my poems, I graduated High School with a low B, due to a touch of dyslexia and some problems with Math, and currently have only an AAS degree which is in General Studies. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor’s and too lazy and sick to go back, realizing it would change nothing about my situation.
The problem with this is that most of it is true. That could be what confused many of you. I did only graduate High School with a low B. Math is not my strong suit. I have dyslexia to a certain extent. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor's (I needed Speech, but I was sick and it was my Internship year. So I decided against the extra class, planning on coming back in the summer after Graduation [Summa Cum Laude] and taking it, by then I realized it would change nothing. But my degree is IST, Information Systems Tech. Computer Geek. Not General Studies. Gotcha. Except for Pixie, of course...
1) my recycling is stacking up in the basement
2) I can’t find my garden hoe
3) only four of my toenails are painted (black) and the other six are left bare.
I bet it's #3. You know hoe is in the shed and your basement is clean.
:) I had to edit- I get confused
ok, it's #1.
mom, you can't do that. pick one, i'm not giving any clues. Just pick one.
Well, well. somebody doing this:Quote:

Second seems to be a lie to me, motherhubbard.
so what is your guess? I'm so please that you have to think about it. I was afraid you would know before you even opened the threadQuote:

I hope it does! Used to do that a lot as a hobby, taking my father's garden hoe and digging deep down the earth with its help, making roads and stuff. Ah the good old days.Quote:

Erm okay, here is one I have thought of. A very easy one:
1) My mother's brother's daughters (uncle's daughters, my cousins) and I are very good friends.
2) I have got a poem I really liked posted by a fellow lit-net member in a notebook.
3) I have got a poem I did not like copied from a magazine in a notebook too.
Well, I don't know about easy. I'll say #3
1) My mother's brother's daughters (uncle's daughters, my cousins) and I are very good friends.
2) I have got a poem I really liked posted by a fellow lit-net member in a notebook.
3) I have got a poem I did not like copied from a magazine in a notebook too.
Lessee here Pensy if logic will serve:
2: I'm pretty sure that you have one of mine copied
3: Could be a school assignment.
1: Something about the way you put their titles makes me wonder. I have cousins I cannot abide. I'll say #1 is the falsehood.
Pensive????
The first one is a lie. My uncle (mother's brother) has no daughters. :p Good job, Pen!Quote:

Sorry motherhubbard for the late reply. Couldn't visit lit-net for quite sometime.Quote:

I haven't done this for a while. Let's see.
My son and I visited a pet store today, this much is very true. While there I:
1.) Held a baby hedgehog with no gloves for over 45 minutes while she fussed, but she wouldn't uncurl. Fussed worse than a Geinea Pig!
2.) I surprised the lady by holding their largest snake, an 18 foot boa constrictor. She said it bit the last customer to hold it, but maybe I have a way with snakes.
3.) I got very careless with a grey parrot and have a bite on my finger to show for it. It was odd, because the one she said bites, liked me, and this one was tame enough to give her kisses!
One's a lie... :nod:
Oh, come on? Nobody even gonna guess? And I cross my heart that one is a lie! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1.../Four/Goon.jpg
I think 2) is definitely true, sice it is not really weird to know how to hold a snake,you might be really good at it.
3) does not sound unbelivable because since you got friendly with the snake, you thought everything would go OK and you believed you were a great animal lover or handler. Which turned out to be wrong...
I would say the first one is a lie...45 minutes seem to be too much, however good you might be with animals.
#1) Is true, so you loose-- I am extremely good with animals of all types, and have caught many wild pets before...Quote:

So, although I am a very good snake wrangler, I did not ask for the snake that day! I didn't even go into the reptile room. so #2 is false. Which would get most of my friends, who know I am not afraid of snakes or have seen pictures of me with wild ones.
Go on and do one yourself...http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...Kane/Pizza.gif
awww, you didn't give me enough time to guess. But I would've gotten it wrong anyway, I was sure the snake thing was true. Good one.

3)I'm intending to sing in a small concert wholy unprepared.
OK MS Remarkable, let's see if my logic is up to you.Quote:

1.) You went too far in describing how your feet became cold. This makes me suspicious that this is the lie. I vote #1 as the lie.
#1 is the lie!
I'd rather go for #3 as the lie because you write you're "intending .. to sing unprepared". Personally, I wouldn't do that. If I know I have to sing in a concert, however "small", I prepare very carefully.
Yes,barbara0207 is right.I indeed do not intend to sing wholly unpprepared.Although I haven't practiced anthing yet...But that is because of my extremely slow computer...
Anyway,my feet did freeze badly.Since I am not used to very cold situations,I wasn't imunne enough:)...I had to rub my feet a lot when back in the car.
You were nearly right Pen.My description seems a bit suspitious,no?...
