Only one lie? There are so many I could tell! Oh, well. I’ll play:
1st : I had breakfast with Sir Peter Ustinov in front of the Cologne cathedral.
2nd: I once chased four tigers around a shipping harbor.
3rd: I skied the Alps with a bad RA flare in my right large toe.
4th: I landed a two-seater Cessna on my first try.
Guess which one is a lie?
This post was for Day 8/Post 8 of the National Health Blog Posting Month
"Rheuma" (ROY-ma) is the German word for rheumatoid arthritis. When I was diagnosed with the disease, I lived in Germany, so that's what I got used to calling it. For me, it fits.
This blog is about rheuma and how it affects those of us who live with it every day. I'd like this to be a place where people who have it can talk to and support each other; a place where those who want to learn more can do so; and a place of quiet, warmth and peace, a haven away from the hustle-bustle of the world.
Be kind to yourself. Speak up. Remember you are your own best advocate.

Love it! My money is on the tigers … though not entirely convinced about Sir Peter either … i have complete faith in your ability to land a Cessna on first try and have a sneaking suspicion you’ve talked about the skiing before … although my memory is so Swiss Cheese that I might be wrong about that!
Whichever are the true ones, I hope you’re going to post us the story of them, because all four sound fascinating!
I am going to say St. Peter because for some reason I actaully believe you may have chased four tigers.
Please tell.
The tiger one. I could totally see you doing it, though.
I believe you’re perfectly capable of all and with your background in journalism (and the military), they’re all more than possible. Do tell!
I’m guessing the landing of the plane is the lie. I can totally see you chasing those tigers! Can’t wait to find out what’s what!
Hmmmm, I feel like “I’m on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me”. I know 3 is true and 4 seems like something you would do…….tigers or Sir Peter, Tigers or Sir Peter. I go with Sir Peter. The tigers seem strange enough that you just may have done that.
Hmm!! I dont know.. I’ll go with the tigers. Although the thought of you chasing 4 tigers is awesome!!
Those are all fabulous stories, Wren. I recall you writing about a ski trip one time, so unless the key is the details – flare everywhere not just toe – I’m going to go with the tiger. I might run and hide, but there’s no way I’d be chasing tigers, so that’s my vote
Very Good Wren! I think it is landing the plane. Nice job making us think.
It doesn’t matter which of these is the lie! I need to hear the other three! You have to tell now – I do so want the tiger story to be true just so I can hear it so I’m voting for Sir Peter!
