    Are little white lies okay?

    It is the middle of April and my wife insists I should install the air conditioners today. We live in upstate New York and it will probably snow next week. Think I'll tell her my back hurts.

    You might as well skip "the little white lie" Flip....if your back is too sore to install the air conditioner, then it's also too sore to do anything else.  You'll just have to sit in your chair until you install it.  Have you thought about that?   lol

    85 degrees F. today. We're not supposed to get this warm in April.

    You're doomed for sure. :)

    It depends on who you ask. A white lie is a lie and according to some people a lie is a sin but I would rather tell a white lie if it prevents someone from having their feelings hurt.


    Example:


      If a friend of mine  paints his house green brown and purple and asks me if I like it, I will say, yes because I know my friend may have spent  several weeks  painting his house and he obviously didn't have a clue how upchuckingly hideous these colour combinations  for an exterior of a house look together. If I say the house is ugly is my friend going to run to the paint store, buy new paint and supplies and spend a few more weeks painting over the ugliness, of course not. Time for a white lie...

    I agree. Like when my wife asks me whether "these" jeans make her a$$ look big....

    Still fumbling around trying to decide?
    Not too many alternatives!

    It depends.  I'll tell a white lie to prevent an argument but other than that,  I avoid them.  Old saying : To be a good liar you have to have a long memory......
