Complaint Department discussion

Yes, I have never been to Australia

Oh, my goodness… I won!

1) I was born in West Africa

2) I was born in Solihull, Near Birmingham

3) My father wasn't around when I was born

1. is a Lie because you were born in Solihull, Birmingham, UK according to your author's bio on your homepage on Goodreads..

Hmmm – forgot that!

Preston wins!

I was indeed born in Solihull (County of Warwickshire in those days, now West Midlands), and my father was still away in the Royal Airforce when I was born.

#1 I called my maternal grandfather poppou.

#2 I called my paternal grandmother ganya

#3 I call my paternal grandfather grandpop.

#3

1

#2 it was the only one not picked..lol

You have to be up early to pick a good lie… ;-)

lol

Three is the lie. I never called him anything. I just walked into the house and said "Hi".

Roger Wins Again!!!

1) I have never owned a goldfish as a pet

2) I have petted a baby deer in the wild, a real "Bambi"

3) As a child I was bitten by a snake

2

#1 I'm sorry if you did have a goldfish.

Actually, #1 is the lie. We had a few Koi carp in a large outdoor pond along with a few "Doctor" fish who went as part of the fixtures and fittings of the Old Street =house when it was sold.

I've had some narrow escapes with snakes but never received a bite, and I did have a "Bambi" to pet…



So no one won, though I guess Jacob would have… ?

I would have said #1 is the lie..lol
I've petted deer before in my back yard so it isn't so far fetched.
I went to a camp where a club was dedicated to getting bit by a snake and I joined. lol

1) I have a wild pet bear that I feed every night on my porch named Benjamin (Ben).

2) Every year we have a nest of copperhead babies in our back yard and every year before or after they hatch I catch them and release them at the top of the mountain.

3) We have sixteen wild pet turkey's that wait in anticipation at our back door for food every wet morning before a rain or after one.

3

#2 (as for #3, isn't it 15 after Thanksgiving?)

I think Kit is right that it is three. (I also think I won the previous game but I would given it to Jacob anyway :-)

((lol Oh sorry Preston))

((@ Roger, We don't eat turkey on Thanksgiving...not wild turkey anyway unless it has been deep fried.))

#3 is correct the lie is three. We actually only have four Turkey's one adult male, one adult female, one adolescent female, and one adolescent male.

Our pet bear, Ben presses his face to our dining room or living room window every night when he is hungry.

Snakes are a problem on the mountain, well to my aunt they are a problem to me they are simply creatures trying to make it in this world like the rest of us so I relocate them so they aren't bothered when continuing their legacy.

1. I love fig newtons
2.I love nutella
3.I love my job

1.

I think Preston took the only option! I don't like figs, I love Nutella (in moderation) and I always loved my job… :::sigh:::

I'll take a risk… #2

@Rpger, You are very much in the running since it's always a possibility that she likes Nutella but doesn't love it.
:-)

Oh, good :-)

#3 is the lie in personal opinion she could very well like her job and not love it.

Over to Kit… ta-da!

Jacob wins

So much for Preston thinking I might be in the running… <-grin->

Well you still could have been. Backthink the past positively!

YAy me!!!

1]I am a certified Lifeguard
2]I practice a mixture of both Wiccan and Christianity
3]I only smoke Camel Menthol Silvers otherwise I get sick and lose my voice.

I'm not playing this one. My father died when he as only in his fifties. Cause of death: smoking cigarettes (Camels). He got cancer in his mouth. He became unable to talk or eat. The part of his face between his bottom lip and his jaw rotted away. He had been unable to eat for a long time so he was fed with liquids poured in a tube directly into his stomach. The hospital covered the bottom of his face so the grim evidence of smoking Camels was hidden.

So Jacob my friend if you actually are smoking please stop. I don't want anything like that to happen to you.

Thanks for that tragic scenario that took place in your life. I'm sorry if I have offended you in anyway with my lies and truths. A similar occurrence took place with my grandfather on my father's side. I never knew him but I knew his past well. If stopping was a current option I would do so. I hope to do so in the near future though if it lightens things up a bit.

I stopped ages ago now and never regretted doing so. Oddly, the pangs I expected (on the third time of giving up) never really materialized. On the other hand Jacob's admission here rather points to 3] being a truth, so the lie lies between 1] and 2]… so…

1] must be the lie because isn't TN a long way from Baywatch? :)

@Roger they have life guards for pools and for beaches in state parks plus Dollywood is in Pidgeon Forge Tennessee. Folks coming out of the Country Music Hall of Fame might get thirsty and go to the Jack Daniel's Distillery then drive drunk all the way to Graceland and I'm sure Elvis had a pool. Just kidding about Elvis's pool but these people are drunk on Jack Daniels so who knows what they might do? Perhaps they'd sober up and go to the National Civil Rights Museum. I'd go to the Grand Ole Opry because it's legendary. So if I were playing I'd pick number one. I think Jacob would make a good lifeguard although being certified doesn't mean he has to actually be a lifeguard now. Still I'd pick number one.

PS: Jacob you never offended me. You have always been a joy to have as member of the Complaint Department.

@ Preston I stand thoroughly and competently corrected and hang my head in shame. I never thought of the Jack Daniels (though myself I prefer Jim Beam).

lol so far no one has got it completely right but I'm tired of waiting and I'm saying roger is right.

1) I am a certified lifeguard and Children's Counsellor for any degree at a Camp. I can lifeguard from a beach or even Dollywood.

2) Is the lie. I don't practice either technically I find both very aspiring in their morals and ways and I often sit in to observe their worship techniques rather than actually participate.

3)Is the complete truth.

Moi! Alors!

1) I cut the flower off any dandelion in my backyard garden

2) I passed my British driving test first time out.

3) I have never been a Boy Scout

Oui Toi!

3 is a lie I can honestly see you as a boy scout after that pic of you petting a baby deer.

LOL @ Jacob – that's the sweetest thing anyone has said to me all day!

Better wait for more feedback… :)

lol then you are welcome.

lol

This is slander, I liked tying them up in knots

I was in the boy scouts for one day and I was the best at escaping knots lol.

2 is the Lie

@Jacob, I don't think he was a Boy Scout but if he was he was only in it for the boys not the scouting :-)

You wouldn't have got free of my Fisherman's Bend.

no probably not...I got loose from whatever sort of knot I was in and kept going. I didn't stop until I made it home lol. I am so claustrophobic it isn't even funny if I'm tied up I'm getting the hell out of there.

Don't worry, Preston is correct. I never was in the Boy Scouts and the nearest I got to tying knots was to publish two illustrated "Practical Knots" books :-)

Oh… er. that means Preston Wins!!. Didn't even give Marcie or Kit a chance…

well
