That was fun reading all your facts and lies!!

I guess I'll give it a try:

1. I was stopped by St. Thomas customs for bringing home a bag of "white" sand in my carry-on.
2. I performed on stage at the Moulin Rouge in Paris.
3. I spent some time at the St. John police station.
4 I won a Better Homes and Garden recipe contest.

Yea for Dusty Pete!
#1 is the lie but not by much:
We were stopped by customs for having a baggie of St. John Spice grill rub in our carry on. We have packed a baggie of white sand before, but no one said a thing. I have the white sand in a vase on my mantle and love to run my hands through it when I get "island home sick" :cry:

#2 is true when I was chosen to go up on stage at the Moulin Rouge in Paris to help with a magical mime act before the big topless burlesque show! :oops:

#3 is true when I had to fill out a ton of forms at the St. John police station after a tiny fender bender in a rental car during Hurricane Otto. NO FUN!

#4 is true when I won a recipe contest for the best use of spring veggies: Asparagus Roll-ups! And $400 prize $$ :wink:

WHO'S NEXT?

Dusty Pete needs to throw out three truths and one lie, since he won.

OK, I've read this whole thread. Here goes.

1. My first job was as a lifeguard. I lived in Brigantine, during the Summers. Best job.

2. We have a boat. I love to fish and I don't need any help.

3. I just saw Bobby Rydell walk down the street in the town I work in. You know "Hugo" from Bye Bye Birdie.

4. Stink bugs freak me out. I fell last Summer when husband said I had one on my back, tripped over one of the cats and I broke my toe.

Laura, you are correct!! I hate stink bugs, but didn't trip or break my toe.

I was a lifeguard.

I know Bobby Rydel, he lives in the town I work and I see him often. Nice guy.

We do have a boat, I LOVE to fish and I don't need any help.
