Final Results for 3 Truths and A Fib

We ended up with six entries for this game, and the following people are official members of the Neuhaus Liar's Club: Charlie, Bobby, Kelly, April, Sam, and myself (Sandi).

Unfortunately, Bobby, Kelly, April and Sam are also members of the Neuhaus Procrastinator's Club, so we don't know what their fib was. So results were based only on the two three entries we had answers for (I know my mom's fib, so I went ahead and counted that.)

Nobody guessed correctly for my four items, which makes me the best fibber. Charlie was runner-up with only 1 out of 3 correctly guessing. April was 3rd with half of the guessers getting it right.

For best guesser, the results were: Kelly and I each had one right guess, which actually was enough to make us the winners. Charlie, Bobby, and Gail gave it a good try, but were unable to figure out when a fib was being told so they get the Trusting Soul award.

Maybe we'll have another contest later on this summer. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

It's time to 'fess up!

Please go back to your original posts, and add a comment admitting with of your four items is the fib. As soon as we hear from everyone, I'll let you know who the winners are for this game.

Last chance to guess the fibs!

If you haven't figured out everyone's facts and fibs yet, this weekend is your last chance. We'll start "fessing up" on Monday.

Even if you haven't posted your own 3 Truths and A Fib, go ahead and take a guess at the ones already up (Sandi, Charles, Bobby, Kelly, April, and Samantha). Then check back later on this week to see the winners!

Three Truths & a Fib - update

So far the Family Liar's Club consists of Charlie, Bobby, Kelly and myself -- I guess i't's no great surprise to anyone that the four of us would be the first members! LOL

We do have one honorary member so far -- Gail. Although she's apparently not willing to fib herself, she's trying to catch "us kids" in our fibs. Once a mom, always a mom!

I'm still hoping for more participants. Come on, Cathy, you'd be good at this. And surely Kay's branch of the family isn't going to let Marion's kids have all the fun. Pass the word around that the game is still on.

You'll find the rules here (or just click on "3 facts and a fib" under Quck Topics along the sidebar). We'll post facts and fibs until May 15th. Guesses (made in the comment section of each post) will continue to be made until May 20th. Between May 21st and May 26th we'll come back and post the answers. The "Family Fibber" and "Best Guesser" will be announced on May 27th.

the reveal

Sandi, we didn't come for a visit this past winter because, We bought a new used car in december, Work never slowed down, and we MOVED in January!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I felt it was time to buy the car because I was told I would be getting a Raise on January 1st. Bob I evan told you about that and you still guessed wrong. Ans Kelly & Sean there are pics of the new place on Danielles site too, I dont know how you missed them. So Sandi you were right, No Ebay business with a toddler as demanding and cute as Cassie. The demand for copper has exploding for me, so weekend work has been very steady. Danielle is still at home with Cassie. Our next trip however may be work related for me. Sorry everyone. Next place we will travel to is a work shop for standing seam copper roofing in the poconos. The plan is while I am in class and seminars while Danielle and Cassie have fun. Trying out this direction to see where it can go. Danielle has a new myspace that can display video as well as pictures. the link is on her regular blog, but you must have a myspace account and be approved by Danielle to see it (so no weirdos outside the family can get in, lol). Kelly and Sean, we'll see you in a few months. Love to ALL...

Kelly: THREE TRUTHS AND A FIB

First of all, Hey! how is everyone? all is well here. to much going on to put it ALL in TRUTH or FIB so here are a few minor updates: First of all, when we were all together fot the reunion, some of you know that we also went to see Sean's family, knowing it would be the last time we saw his mom. She died of cancer January 1st. It has been difficult for Sean. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks. We continue to remodel the house, just finished the bedrooms and now the kitchen. Kevin and Mia LOVE virginia. A close friend of thiers was shot and wounded @ Virginia Tech, please pray for her, I know you already are praying for everyone that was affected, thier school interacts quite a bit with VA Tech, and another best friend that should have been in the main class that got shot up but at the last minute desided to stay home. Phillip is doing good. He turned 18 on Easter and will be a senior. Cody is in the Air Force ROTC, football and getting ready to take flying lessons with a DR./NASA Director friend of mine. { probably shouldn't trust him to much at this point with the way things are at NASA.} Steven is doing good, they just won thier basketball playoffs! YEA!! Ford, I cant believe it, will be starting kindergarten and is as smart and cute as a 4 year old that thinks he is as big as any of his brothers can be. NOW, TRUTH or FIB
1.Kevin, although turned down scholarships to 5 different MAJOR UNIVERSITYS, has now accepted a scholarship to an ALL WOMANS university
2.We are going to the East Coast for our summer vacation this year
3.I am f@#&#*$! pregnant again

Charles: 3 Truths and a Fib

All is going great here in NJ, Cassie is getting big and is smart as ever. We had a great Easter with the parents, Aunt Robin & Granny, and Cassie got to take a train ride with the Easter Bunny, she hosted an Easter Egg Hunt. Lori and Chris came down the day after.

We had a lovely tea party with Cassies new tea set (thanks Aunt Lori & Uncle Chris) The weather is great and I think winter has finally left us. Everything is really wonderful in our lives right now!

OK now for the game...

1 We moved

2 Danielle started a business on Ebay

3 Charles got a huge raise

4 Cassie knows all the words to 5 songs and sings all the time.

Sandi: 3 Truths and a Fib

Okay. I guess since the game is my idea, I should go first.

[I have to admit, by the way, that coming up with four things to tell you about was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I came up with lots of really good fibs. Stuff that just about believable enough, but not quite true. I never realized what a great liar I was, although I prefer to think of it as having an active imagination. Coming up with three truths was the tough part for me. I either have to start living a more exciting life so that I have more to talk about, or else I need to stop writing stuff in my blog because everything I thought of was already talked about in Staying Focused.]

Here are my four items to catch you up in my life.
(Be sure to post your guess as a comment as to which item is the fib!)

(1) In April I "adopted" another teenager. I was asked if I could take him in for a couple of weeks because I've done emergency foster care in the past. And of course I said yes.

(2) In March my youngest daughter, Becky (13), was awarded a 4-year scholarship to college. I am, of course, extremely proud of her.

(3) In February we traveled back to Sarasota so that my son (15) could have his 5th-year class reunion.

(4) In January I returned to the classroom, as a student. I'm not sure what I was thinking, other than I would like my master's degree after all these years.

Let's Play a Game

We haven't really been hearing from anyone lately. I know that we all are very busy, but I don't want to lose track of each other again.

We have to start planning the next reunion soon (yes, it's almost that time again!). But in the meantime, I thought a little family challenge might be fun.

Please take a few minutes and post four things that have gone on in your life in the past six months. These things can be anything: you got a new job, you have a new grandchild (which, by the way Samantha, we haven't seen any pictures yet...), you bought a new car, you lost/gained weight, you took a trip somewhere, you stayed home and cleaned the house. Whatever you would like to share.

The catch, however, is that only three of the things that you write are going to be true. One the four things should be an outright fib. Yes, a fib. This game will let us see who is the best at fibbing in the family.

The second part of the game, and what makes it fun, is that the rest of us will try to catch you in your fib. Once someone has posted their four things, everyone else needs to add a comment to that post saying what they think is the fib.

So we should have lots of new posts, telling four things (3 truths and a fib) that has happened lately. And each post should have comments, guessing what's true and what's not.

After a suitable time (a couple of weeks), I'll announce the end of the game. That's when everyone will confess the fib by adding a comment to their original post. Once we know the truth/fibs, I'll announce the winners (the best fibber and the person who knows the family the best).

So let the game begin!
