Not anymore. Not since I turned 50. I say it like it is and if someone does not like the answer, they should have never asked the question. Even prior to turning 50, I most always just shut up rather than tell a lie and the few 'white lies' I spoke were very generalized and could be rationalized into a truth. Upon examining this, I realized I was subjugating myself to the will of others.
