Honesty is the best policy. Really.

We are all adults here. If you don't want to do something, tell me you don't want to do it. Don't try to give me some lame-ass excuse or talk your way out. Be honest and up front and say you don't want to do it. I may be upset or let down by your admission, but I will respect your honesty and appreciate the truth. I am so tired of people volunteering or offering to do things and then just not showing up or coming and then I hear later that they did nothing but complain about it. Like I said, we are all adults. Let's put on our big girl panties and be honest with others and with ourselves. Life's too short for drama.
