So you basically started a thread about hating liars - admitting in your first post that you do in fact lie sometimes - and then lie about not lying or exaggerating yourself.
Really Ramsey? REALLY????
Dammit! Ok, let me clarify. I don't lie about how much money I make or what my house looks like. I don't lie about important stuff. Yes, I have lied and said I had to work late or some other excuse to get out of going to something I didn't want to. I have lied to a friend at work that I like her hair red even though I think she looks like bozo because she loves it and I don't want to hurt her feelings. Important stuff? No, I don't lie. After being married to a professional liar, it's a real sore point when people lie.
There's a name for this sort of behavior. It's called situational ethics. Or as I like to call it - A slippery slope.
