I was tagged by Allison Werner and Laura Monroe and posted my meme on Friday. Although I like reading other people's memes, I don't like doing them myself so I decided to have some fun. I posted 10 items but not all of them were true so I held a TRUE/FALSE Contest. Here are my answers:
1. At almost 5'10" tall, I was a star basketball player during my high school days at Sacred Heart High School in Pittsburgh, PA.
FALSE - I actually was a score keeper. I never was much of a basketball player but my height served me well in volleyball.
2. I once broadcast the weather from a hot air balloon for local radio station, 106.5, WBMW in Ledyard, CT
FALSE - I've been in the RE/MAX Balloon and I have a fancy weather station but have never broadcast the weather.
3. Late for my plane, I was able to get a police escort to T.F. Greene Airport in Providence, Rhode Island in February, 2003.
FALSE - Anyone that knows me got this one right. I am rarely late and get very annoyed at those that are.
4. I have had a concealed weapons carry permit for the State of Connecticut for 12 years.
FALSE - I'm a card carrying member of the NRA but don't have a weapons permit. My assistant does however. Hopefully we never need it but see #6.
5. I once shared a cab with Terry Bradshaw, formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
FALSE - I love Terry Bradshaw, watched him play but alas, never met him.
6. Between 1968 - 1978, I was a police witness for 3 armed robberies.
TRUE - Once in Pittsburgh at a convenience store, once in Pittsburgh at a gas station, once in Connecticut in a mall parking lot. My friends refuse to go into a bank with me.
7. I was interviewed and appeared on the Evening News with Dan Rather.
TRUE - Described as a community activist, I was interviewed about our town effort to spray for gypsy moths. I have the tape and have never watched it.
8. I have watched the movie, My Cousin Vinnie, 12 times.
TRUE - My maiden name is Linda Carole Angela Mannella. I love that movie. For those that saw it....:"The two Yuts!" LOL
9. I won 2 million dollars in the Connecticut State Lottery in 1997.
FALSE - I've played the same numbers for 24 years but no luck. Yet.
10. I attended the Republican National Convention in 1992 in Houston Texas.
FALSE - I'm very active politically but in a small state with not many delegates, it is tough to get an invitation. Someday, I hope!
The winner is Leslie Bloss. She had 2 of 3 correct. She changed her guess but as in politics, she was right before she was wrong so I declare her the official winner!
