I gave you 10 Truths and one Lie and you had to decide! If you get it right and are the first person to do it, then I will reward you with 2 SBD after the post-payout!
So without further ado...
1. I have lived in 5 countries TRUE!
Canada, Belgium, USA, Costa Rica and Nicaragua
2. I speak 4 languages TRUE!
English, French, Spanish and German.
(In process of learning two more.)
3. I married my best friend TRUE!
I did and we were together for 40 years.
4. I have fours sons and seven grandchildren TRUE!
2 living in Canada and 2 living in Nicaragua.
5. I broke my leg learning to ski TRUE!
On the Bunny Hill first time out!
What can I say? Not very athletic...
6. I caused an entire flight to be delayed when
I didn’t get the proper permission to take my
children out of a Central American Country. TRUE!
They held the plane up for half an hour.
7. I have taken skydiving lessons FALSE!
I don’t like heights and why would I jump out
of a perfectly good aeroplane?
8. I once was in a beauty pageant TRUE! My brother
entered me without my permission and then
I went ahead with it. Miss Congeniality.
9. I don’t like spiders and scorpions TRUE!
I have bee stung by scorpions three times.
Have a nasty reaction to them.
10. I learned to drive when I was 11 years old TRUE!
I lived on a farm and I was taught to drive
tractors and pickups.
11. I am running a homestead without a partner TRUE!
My husband passed away 3 years ago this coming August.
I want to thank everyone who participated. This was a lot of fun. I have three who guessed correctly that number 7 was a lie. @countrygirl guessed correctly first so she gets 2 SBD.
But hold on there a second. I have two more correct guesses, @tattoodjay and @freedomtowrite. I am feeling really generous today so I have decided to award them 2 SBD too! Congratulations everyone! Job well done!
Proof of payment
Transfer 2.000 SBD to countrygirl winner of 10 trurths and lie contest
Transfer 2.000 SBD to tattoodjay winner in 10 truths and a lie contest
Transfer 2.000 SBD to freedomtowrite winner in 10 truths and a lie contest
Thanks for the contest, @cecicastor. Ha, I knew it was the skydiving one! (Okay, I didt't really know it, as I was guessing all over the place.) But number 11? I never thought your husband had passed. I'm sorry. Tricky how the mind works. I remember reading your bird story about deciding to leave Canada, and in my mind it felt like... like it happened just yesterday.

Thanks for the 2 👍
I am not so much afraid of heights I have builtcand climbed up to 400ft communications towers
But jumping out of a perfectly good plane makes no sense to me

Thanks @cecicastor!! That was fun. You did really well with the truths and lies. I tried, but just couldn't come up with 10 truths about me. It's tough!!!!
@trevor.george did the contest too and he did it in three parts because he has so many interesting things about his life.....30 truths and 3 lies.
Great job!

Four languages is impressive! After 6 years of Spanish classes I still can't speak conversational Spanish! Not easy to learn another language. I figured I'd be wrong about the scorpions. :)

When learning a new language you need to practice every day and immerse yourself in the culture as well as the language. If you had someone to speak with in Spanish every day you would be fluent very quickly. When we moved to Costa Rica we knew zip, zilch Spanish. We learned really quickly, the boys faster than my husband or me.

I wish I would have entered this is fun.
Not sure I would have gotten it right. It is the same as the lie on mine. I lied about jumping with a bungee cord. I am not afraid of heights but not interested in jumping from high places including an airplane.
From reading the right answers you sound like a great person to know.
Sorry about the loss of you husband.

Thanks, @rebeccabe. Bungee jumping wouldn't be on my bucket list. These contests can be a lot of fun and they help the community grow too.

Yay! Thank you! I checked my wallet before I saw this, and I was so confused why I had two extra SBD's...then I read it was from you, and @freedompoint was like, "Did you win a contest?" Then a lightbulb went off that it was probably the 10 truths and a lie! Haha So thank you again!!

Probably all for the best, but there was a time I considered the charms of jumping out of an airplane. That silent flight... somehow so tempting! But I just don't bounce that well any more. There are SO many of these newer sports I would LOVE to try, but I just don't think my bones could take it... Kiteboarding, wingsuits and hang-gliding, I'd try them if I were 20 years younger!
