Somehow, I think it came up at around 3 AM over cheeseburgers in Chicago...I dunno.

Does this mean I'm up again? We need more players. I'll hold off a bit and if someone wants to play, I'll hand my win off to them.

I think we need a set of workday rules. First volunteer to post their three obscure facts and one amazing falsehood is our contestant until lunchtime (Island time is the official time clock). Hopefully we have a winner by lunchtime and that person posts their information for round two that afternoon. We continue this sequence all week.Our weekend edition starts Saturday evening whatever your local time is over wine, beer maybe even a painkiller or two.

I have questions
So Island girl did you hot air balloon team ever partake of the Quechee Vermont Father's Day weekend balloon festival?

Djmom & mbw1024 let’s see some baby photo’s

Mr. Marcia are you sure you’re not my neighbor he is also an attorney and played lacrosse in college?

We never did Quechee. We did Glens Falls NY (Adirondack festival) and the New Jersey festival of ballooning where we fly the largest commercially operated balloon in the US with an all female crew of 6 and won the crew award for the festival. The Forbes crew was mad :lol:

It was a lot of work and great fun!

I think this one lost some of it's shine, when people sobered up! It's coffee break, though, so I'll throw some out there:

1) Believes she's met an angel.

2) Broke her left wrist on an Outward Bound sailing course near Boston.

3) Flew 8 hours next to her husband without speaking a word to him.

4) Jumped off of a cliff in a tandem hang glider with someone she met 1/2 hour prior.

ETA: corrected spelling of "tandem"

I am going to say #1, but I already did it, so I just want to see if I was right. I will let someone else post theirs

Nope. I'm fairly CERTAIN he was an angel, actually.

We definitely need more players. This is fun. And, once your post has been correctly answered, you should share the stories on your three truths...
