2) I hate the taste of coffee
3) I still have my christmas tree up

Next one guesses and lies to us :D

2) I stand for seven hours a day, Monday to Friday.

Negative. I didn’t take the tree when I moved to a new house. My *intention* for the last 3 years has been to buy a new tree, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. :shrug:

Edit: the lie was 3.

Lie guess: 1. You have a dishwasher. It seems to me, dishwashers aren’t as common household appliances as I think they are.

1. I haven’t left the state I live in since the pandemic (so January 2020)
2. I collect bookmarks from whatever city I’m visiting.
3. Curling is my favorite Olympic sport to watch

Nope that one’s true, we didn’t start dating until many years later but I went to elementary school with my wife. I am not a vegetarian.

Lie guess: going to say 1. Even though nowadays that’s pretty normal especially in some industries. The other two just seem so specific enough to be real.

2. I have two middle names.

Correct. I was with the same company for 7 years, until leaving in January 2020. :smile:

Lie guess: 3. I'm just an ignorant American, but for what it's worth, I do want to visit London so I would guess everyone else would do so if they had the opportunity. And any place in Norway seems more appealing than Rotterdam. I know nothing about Rotterdam, but it doesn't seem like a nice place to visit. I think it's the name. :lol:

Unfortunately it's a negative this time. It was 3, although the tears was more because he died from cancer last year. I have met one of the current co-hosts, Ken Jennings a couple times now...but always wanted to meet Trebek and wasn't able to. :cry:

John Williams was a brief hello, great show, watching the Boston Pops 4th of July performance. President Obama was during his 1st presidential campaign, he visited a renowned local farm, picking blueberries.

2. Walked my dogs
3. Complained about having to work today
