Vienna Bello Each week, I'm going to feature one Active Rain Member, with their photo, and what they are going to do is tell you 2 Truths about them and 1 Lie.

The object of the game is to guess which of the 3 bits of trivia about them is a lie!

Each new game will be posted on Friday, and then the answer will be revealed by the featured member a week later on the following Friday.

It's a great way to get to know your fellow ActiveRain members and staff.

This week, we will be featuring: Cindy Westfall

Cindy is a Real Estate Professional with Prudential NW Properties, Portland Metro & Suburbs based out of Lake Oswego, Oregon

Cindy is a REALTOR® that guides you through the process whether you're buying or selling a home in Tualatin, Tigard, West Linn, Lake Oswego & Portland Metro neighborhoods. Let Cindy put her knowledge to work for you.

OK, Here goes:

One of my high school classes involved going to a horse farm where I had to muck stalls and lunge a horse everyday.

I once had a job as a "plant lady" watering plants in businesses.

I won a regional competition competing in gymnastics when I was 10.

OK, gang. Tell me which one is the lie!

If I'm not mistaken to lunge a horse is to run it out of energy. Walking it, leading it around; if you're mucking stalls this sounds like a plausible stall duty!! But did she muck the stalls, hmmm?!! They all sound plausible. Ugho, "I'll be back"!!

Okay, sounds as if Cindy is a horse person, and watering plants is plausible. I'm going with #3 as the lie for the same reason David mentions.

Going with Lie # 1, since I believe the other two are very possible. Can't wait to hear the right answers.

I'm guessing that #3 is the lie. She was 9 1/2! :)

Looking forward to seeing the answer.

Boy, you guys are hilarious! "Technicality of numbers" seemed to be the key here. If I were playing this, I'd probably get it wrong myself. I think I've only gotten one correct since I've started playing. Ok..so here goes:

#1: Yep, back in the 70's I was going through my "Billy Jack" (remember those movies?) phase and thought it would be real cool to go to a horse farm instead of sitting in a classroom. So my assignment was to take care of one horse with another girl for the semester..and mucking stalls and lunging horses were just part of the duties. Here is a link to the same kind of program. I was out in a horse farm in Middle Island somewhere..memory can't remember the name. What was I thinking? Never did do much with horses after..could have been a cosmotologist! Gayle #20, you would have loved this program...or probably could have taught it!

BOCES equine care program moves to private Henning Road horse ...

#2: Yep, I did indeed water plants in businesses as my first paying job back in the work force after being home and involved with the kids for over 10 years. It was very flexible with hours and I love plants so worked perfect for me at the time.

#3: Check out my excellent gymnastic skills.LOL I am the real talented one on the right in the green shirt. You guys were sorta right about the age too..I have no idea how old I was when this video was taken.

So, for all you that guessed that #3 is the lie...you did good!

Whoop - Whoop ... I just felt there was someone not right about #3. I thought it was a half-lie ... turns out it was the whole lie. It's been far too long since I guessed correctly ... even if my thought process was all wrong ... I guessed right this week. Cindy, thanks for another fun week!

Kathleen..you're one to watch..maybe I'll win one!

Ron & Ellen, thanks!

William..sorry, I knew if I didn't do it before I got busy I might have forgotten!

Oh crap! I had family in town and barely got to play in the RAIN at all this last week. Sorry I missed out on this one. Loved all the comments though.

I certainly did not guess the right one. I figured you for a gymnastics person. I didn't even know what lunge meant until I read it up above. I do remember loving the Billy Jack movies, though. It's so much fun to learn more about you.
