Lie: 2

2. My siblings are 13 and 12 years old
3. I've sailed in regattas."

Lie: 2

"1. I can't tell cilantro and the other green thing that looks like it but apparently smells different apart
2. I voted for Bernie in the primaries
3. Prefer cats > dogs"

Lie: 3

Mine:
1. I married at 18.
2. I love pickles.
3. I only plan on applying to one law school.

[maybeman]

Your lie is....voted for Bernie in the primaries!

You know me too well. Kasich-->Hil ( )

Lie: 3

To those of you who guess #2, you were correct I had a feeling when I posted I would give myself away due to too much detail!

1. I'm a certified scuba diver
2. My siblings are 13 and 12 years old
3. I've sailed in regattas.

Lie=siblings (too normal compared to the other 2)

1. I married at 18.
2. I love pickles.
3. I only plan on applying to one law school.

Your lie is...pickles. (but in case that isn't the...I also LOVE pickles)

If I were a Republican, I also would have voted for Kasich [my parents did...and then wrote in some rando Republican congressman from Utah because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Trump or Hillary]

[Law2020hopeful]

I will say that my lie is not number 2 (siblings)

[Anon.y.mousse.]

My guess for yours is number 3.

No, my lie is actually #1. I was one day away from becoming certified on vacation but I had to leave to come home before that and I never bothered to go through certification at home.

Noo, so close! closest I've come to being SCUBA certified is taking snorkeling lessons in the dive pool at the local SCUBA gear store.

Okay mine:

1) When I graduate from law school, there will be three straight generations of lawyers in my family.
2) I've lived in 6 cities in the last 6 years.
3) I have never broken a bone.

Two truths, one lie

1) I once engaged in a drinking game against a high-level British security officer in an undisclosed Eastern European country for a CIA position
2) Yesterday, when I was walking to work, I saw Brexit-architect Nigel Farage chilling outside smoking a cigarette
3) I'm fluent in six languages

regardless of which one is your lie...you live a pretty awesome life but I will guess #3! (it's probably only 5 )

Hmmmm...I will guess #3 because it seems so normal.

Also, I am both terrible at lying and detecting lies (at least on the internet).

I'll be the third straight generation of lawyers in my family too!

I'm gonna say the lie is #2

You have an amazing life and I'm jealous! I think the lie is #3

Actually it's number 1 - only one of my grandparents went to college (which is crazy to think about), and my dad is an MD. I'll be the first in my extended family as far as I know. I keep telling him that I'm going to be a doctor though too... a juris doctor.

OK are we actually the same person??? My dad is an MD too! But my MIL and SIL are both attorneys (my husband is the one who first suggested LS to me)!

We must be it's kind of scary actually. also growing up everybody was like "do you want to be a doctor like your dad" and I was like uh hell no if anything it makes me never want to be a doctor, ever.

i'm actually pretty jealous about your MIL and SIL, that's really cool that you have people to give advice and have been through all of this before!

haha I know. my dad certainly drilled the horrors of medical school and residency into my head enough! and he's not even a surgeon or a high-stress doctor...he doesn't deal with emergencies, so as far as work/life balance for an MD goes, he's got it pretty good

well, it's nice on the one hand, but also super annoying on the other. my SIL is actually really great and supportive, but my MIL wants to tell me how to do everything and really wants me to go into family law (like her) which is the LAST thing I want. she also thinks I should go to some random t3 school because "it doesn't matter where you go to law school...I have friends who went to Harvard and I make more than them!" well good for you lady, but I'm actually proud of my accomplishments and want to go to the best school financially possible for me.

Tell her you'll go anywhere she wants if she'll guarantee you 100k/year starting. Alternatively, tell her I'll go anywhere she wants if she guarantees me 100k/year starting!

Believe me, making 100k/year and living where she lives would not be worth it.

Older attorney/MIL advice is classic TTT. You can't just be good at your job and ball out anymore. Need that t14 cv line or there's a hard ceiling

Over the last 49 releases, the most, 16, have been on Fridays (followed by 11 on Mondays). I'm feeling a 27th release date here

but what about the fact that people have until Feb 27 to cancel their score (some posted about ITT a while back)?

Ugh yeah I see that post. Guess the 28th is more realistic. I yearn for the good old days of those 13 day-early releases back in 'o4

I don't know why someone had until the 27th. It was the 17th for me (I didn't cancel but I deliberately checked the deadline after that post). I'm hoping it was wrong.

well now you've got me all sorts of excited that maybe Monday could be a possibility! (or...dare I say it...today?! hahaha)

I have a vague memory of this being true.. but it might just be me wanting to think it is. Fingers crossed you're right 2020
