Why lie? Why not just be honest and say, "thank you, that looks delicious. Unfortunately I'm dieting right now and have to say no." That should be enough for your neighbor.

Hi! My name is Isis Crisis. I'm an NSO and ref-in-training with Philly Roller Girls. My goal is to be a full ref starting next season and I know that I have to get my *kitten* in gear to be able to meet that goal. My speed (or lack thereof) is one of my biggest problems and I think (know) that getting my weight down and…
