What's Your View on Tipping?
by minimus intypically, i give at least 20% on my total bill.
if the service or the waitress is especially charming, maybe more.. i wonder, when you sit at a bar/restaurant and have a meal and drinks and then order a take out ( i do this for my mother quite often) are you supposed to tip on everything, including the takeout??.
when i stay in a hotel, i typically leave 2 or 3 dollars per day for the maid.

This is for the U.S. tipper...
In what other sitation can you make a hard worker feel so much more appreciated, brighten a person's day?
and only for a few dollars [or less] more.
!5% or 20$ ? If you think about it, it's not that much?
Unless you are eating at a resturant you really cant afford to begin with.
If you had poor service, that is a different story.

Jw's getting married BEFORE divorces are final?
by Tired of the Hypocrisy ina video was sent to me with some claims that struck me as very odd.
after over 40 years associated with the wbts i never heard that a couple could marry and consumate their marriage even while one of them was in the middle of a divorce that has not been finalized.
the claims are that they can marry with a "promise" to go and get the union ratified by civil authorities and that jehovah and jesus are ok with the fornication as long as they promised.

It's true. Visiting Italy in 2000, my friends and I were told this .
We were shocked. Us coming from the U.S. Plus the whole idea that we all lived by the same rules.
Basicaly the reason said was that to obtain a divorce in Italy, a Catholic country, at that time took 5 years.
So a 'loving' provision was made for those to marry before the five years, in the hall! But you had to sign a document,
that was kept with the elders, stating you would 'legaly' marry when the five years were up, If you didnt ,
you would be df'ed.
This 'loving provision' has since been dropped. If I remeber correctly, because it only takes 2 years for an Italian divorce.

"And how old is the Proclaimers book?"
by passwordprotected ini had a frank discussion with my parents yesterday that ended up in the cul-de-sac of "how did the organisation start?
" i told them that all they need to know about the origins of the org are in the proclaimers book, of how chuck started his own religion, or how he got his ideas from the adventists and a lovely fellow called barbour and how chuck preached that christ had returned in 1874 and that the last days had started in 1799.. my parents were unwilling to accept this, so i said, "read your proclaimers book!
y'know what my mum's answer to that was?.

Have you ever tried 'Emergen-C'?
It does have suger in it , but no caffeine. It's a vitamin C supplement with minerals and B vitamins.
I have been using it for years as a pick me up. They sell it at Trader Joes , costco and healthfood stores.
It comes in a packet and you add it to water, very handy.

No regrets here.
I have one on my ankle that is almost 20 years old. I still love it. It's pretty blown out, the outline is still good though.
I have a good friend who is a tat artist that says he can fix it for me.
It's kind of a starfish silloette, with a path in the center. The center is the area that has runned together.
I got the idea fron the first Alice In Chains C.D. liner notes.
Yes , it does have a meaning , but it is private.
