    I'm going with one. Why do you ask? Well, it's because Puff the magic dragon lives by the sea…

    I will go with number 1 as well.

    OK, reveal time. I note that no one doubted number three, which is good. The President was Jimmy Carter. The best-selling author wrote under a pen-name which I am not at liberty to reveal. That's why they usually write under pen names. The Sherlock Holmes pastiches have been collected in book form, from the magazine Murderous Intent, and are called The Adventures of the Second Mrs. Watson by Michael Mallory.

    1.) is true. If I want to remember something I can to the smallest detail. I never used a church hymnal, because I knew the songs by heart. I knew hundreds of songs by heart. I could quote reams of poetry by heart. I knew every President in order by heart. I passed my classes by keeping notes in my head. Since I had to work after school and then walk two miles home regarless of weather, I couldn't take home books, I had no bookbag, I had to remember. Since my breakdown, you could drive a lorry through my memory gaps, and I miss words in songs I once knew perfectly.

    2.) Here comes the lie for a couple of reasons. These three things are typical of most bi-polar people, and they have nothing to do with how medicine is regulated. I have defeated all three. My major fear is spiders. Cannot stand the creepy things! I'm working on it, go to the pet store and hold tarantulas as long as I can stand it. But it hasn't left. Gotcha!

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke

    Hey Papayahead...
    You are too good. Do tellme how you guessed that at the first go...
    1. Yes I have always topped my grades
    2. You are right I dont even know to swim. If am thrown in a lake I would for sure drown and die. Let alone the lake swimming pool is enough for me to drown
    3. Thats definitely my favorite quote...

    You are good papayahead....Tell me how u guessed that.

    Congratulations, Divine (for your top grades, I mean.) I'd have gone for # 2, too, but papaya got in before me (not the first time, too. )

    Here are my truths and one lie:

    1. I write music (parts) for my choir so that they can sing wellknown pop songs .
    2. I hate my job. It eats me up, burns me out.
    3. I love the Harry Potter books. But I haven't read the last one yet.

    What do you think?

    I think #3 is the lie. If you LOVE the Potter books, you would have read the last.
