[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 2795521, member: 745"] When asked, I will say what I think. It may not be (likely won't be) how I feel, though. When asked, people want a truthful response, otherwise, why ask? I will respond diplomatically. When asked, "Does this dress make me look fat?" I won't blurt out, "No, it's your eating habits." I will say, "A different dress might make you look slim, Dear." (I resolve such traps with a clear conscience and no bruises.) Be careful of how you phrase things. You could say. "When I look at you, the hands of time stand still," and it is a compliment. You could say, "Your face could stop a clock," and it is an insult. In both instances you have basically said the same thing. Woody [/QUOTE]
