But I've...I don't like lies, big or small. But I've learned that people tell lies to cover themselves or when they feel like they have no other options. Some lies are ok, if they're told to prevent hurting someone. Like telling someone they don't look fat, when they may have put on some weight. But lying for no apparent reason is just unacceptable.

Not because I think lying is ever okay... but I think that sometimes I just need to have a little more tact. I'm not into the white lies thing though. I'd rather be honest and have someone get mad at me than lie and have to cover it up for the rest of forever.Amanda - Voyage of the MeeMeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820601784610439713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-45896181701925341292014-02-06T21:02:33.235-05:002014-02-06T21:02:33.235-05:00White lies are okay when you're saving someone...White lies are okay when you're saving someone's feelings.. to an extent. I think that it's important to tell the truth if someone asks for it.. like, is this story I wrote good?! If in fact it isn't, it's okay to say that it was good but there were some parts you didn't understand or didn't follow. That way, you didn't say it sucked, but you didn't say it was THE BEST thing you've ever read. It also depends on how close you are to the person you are white lying to. It's a toss up. But I'd like to say that YES, it's okay as long as it's little and to save hurting someone's feelings..!!Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893160520460426467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-74872476485433115172014-02-06T16:08:25.409-05:002014-02-06T16:08:25.409-05:00That happened where they said they delivered it bu...That happened where they said they delivered it but they put it at the wrong door and I saw from my tracking it was "delivered" then the next day it magically wound up on my doorstep....quite odd!<br /><br />~Amanda<br /><a href="http://meetatthebarre.blogspot.com/2014/02/why-halloween-seems-to-be-excuse-to.html" rel="nofollow">Meet @ the Barre</a>Amanda Elizabeth - Meet @ the Barrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298068456724701894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-33250221812342681362014-02-06T15:36:12.031-05:002014-02-06T15:36:12.031-05:00sometimes that does happen. the mail peeps are of...sometimes that does happen. the mail peeps are often late and most of the time, CP outsources their delivery so that shit can stay in that person's trunk for days, even though it was delivered on time to the post office. i have a friend who works at the post office and this is what he tells me and i believe it because the guy delivering our mail isn't "CP branded" - he's a guy who has been hired by CP to deliver mail because i see him hauling shit to and from his regular car trunk!<br /><br />-kathy<br /><a href="http://www.lifeinprogress.ca" rel="nofollow">Vodka and Soda</a><br />Kathy@MoreCoffeeLessTalkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044005966979731361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-38348399969506900362014-02-06T14:21:55.922-05:002014-02-06T14:21:55.922-05:00ugh how frustrating! however i do think white lies...ugh how frustrating! however i do think white lies are ok!Helene in Betweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734694540206484285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-8242834382356871952014-02-06T13:51:46.724-05:002014-02-06T13:51:46.724-05:00I was going to chime in with I've had really p...I was going to chime in with I've had really poor luck with mail tracking things as well! I try my best not to lie, but there are times when I think that it's necessary just for maintaining cordial relationships in certain situations. Example: Friend A: (holding up newborn baby) He's beautiful isn't he? Friend B: Ummm....mmmhhmmm (whereas really thinking he looks a little Rob Ford)<br /><br />But then there are other times when friends need to hear the ugly truth. Example: Friend A: Look at my new fuzzy green beanie hat. Isn't it? Friend B: No, that's f@$%ing ugly. Take it off. You'll never get a boyfriend wearing that. xAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647707557228625706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-15145620576048872062014-02-06T12:57:10.628-05:002014-02-06T12:57:10.628-05:00sometimes i tell white lies, but i should probably...sometimes i tell white lies, but i should probably be better about it. brooke lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208126439207774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-67366970171648973982014-02-06T12:48:36.237-05:002014-02-06T12:48:36.237-05:00ah that's frustrating, especially if it's ...ah that's frustrating, especially if it's something you really needed on a certain day. hopefully the post service is the liar!<br />-- jackie - <a href="http://www.jadeoak.com" rel="nofollow">jade and oak</a>jackie jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445081275530729227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-15292880981459878492014-02-06T12:03:51.741-05:002014-02-06T12:03:51.741-05:00OUr tracking system with USPS is horrible and NEVE...OUr tracking system with USPS is horrible and NEVER accurate...if that's any consolation.

Like, for instance, I would believe that my dad would have truly *thought* it came Tuesday but it really came Monday and he either forgot what days were which and/or it really came Monday, but didn't see it until Tuesday. They're getting older and sometimes these little confusions happen! <br /><br />It is a little disheartening realizing you're being lied to though, if that is the case here. If so, I'd take it with a grain of salt because he's your dad and they're not perfect but they're our dads. I guess they deserve the benefit of the doubt right?Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100999347349739541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546115015811447077.post-50366302860720968272014-02-06T10:18:56.513-05:002014-02-06T10:18:56.513-05:00Aw, what a bummer.
