Of the friends and acquantances I've had over the years, I believe that all of them did not either keep track of the all their tips and/or reported less on their taxes. One friend only reported about 50% of her received tips when she used to waitress. I too would suspect that a vast number of...

Fair enough, but did you receive the same "typical" low pay that a waitress does? Just curious.

I guess I generally overtip for dining out since I've known friends who have waitressed before and they really get paid crappy and many times have to put up with a lot of A-hole customers.

I was wondering what sort of things anyone will and will not tip for. I usually pay around 20% for dining out unless the service is really poor. For years I never tipped my barber because I'd never heard of it until someone mentioned it to me a couple years ago and I've since found that its...

This is true in many ways. I admit that I'm not the most astute driver on the road and I'm had my share of accidents and tickets, but there really does seem to be an element of luck involved. I swear I've known much worse drivers than myself who have not been involved in any or as many...

Sort of reminds me of many years ago when driving with some friends of my we spotted what seemed to be an obvious drunk driver. We thought we'd follow him to see if we could report him, but I think at some point he realized we were following him and he sped up and began driving more recklessly...

Well, I have had an accident while using my phone so I can say from first hand experience that a law banning isn't all that bad. Granted I was just traveling about 10-15mph through my neighborhood with the morning sun directly in my eye and the car I hit pretty much in a blind spot, but...

MrsGorilla, I too am playing it on an old AMD Athlon 1k with 512RAM. The specs are: Minimum System Requirements 800Mhz processor, 256RAM, 2Gb hard drive space, GeForce3 or 4 MX Series Video Card with 32MB of VRAM, 16bit sound. Recommended System Requirements 1Ghz processor, 512RAM, 2GB hard...

If you like RPG Dungeons n Dragons type of games then yes I'd recommend this one. Assuming you meet the system requirements to play the game you only pay for the cost of the game (~$45-$50). This game has no monthly subscription fee so even if you only play once in a while you wont feel...

Never heard of Dark Age of Camelot. Although I've never played WOW, I'm not sure you'd like Guild Wars if you don't like WOW. I read that the creators of Guild Wars are ex-Blizzard employees so there may be a lot of similarities between WOW and GW. I haven't played much pvp yet (I really...

Ha! I can relate to that. I'm an RF Engineer II. I frequency plan cell sites and optimize system performance (among other things) for a wireless phone carrier. Most of my database days are behind me, but in the beginning I was responsible for design, development and maintanence of some audit...

Yesterday was a terrible, horrible, fowlest of football days I can recall. :( :mad: :( Not only did my Bears lose, my Colts lost as well. Ugh. Bears started game off bad and looking back on it they actually may have won if not for a couple bad plays where their corners slipped and fell and...

This reminds me of 1993 (I think?) when the Mississippi flooded over from all the excessive rainfall and here in northern Indiana at that time we were experiencing a severe drought that year and only saw several days of sporadic light rain the entire summer. That was a bad year...all those...

I don't believe in New Years resolutions. I think that if there is something about my life that I want to change then there are 365 (except for leap years :p ) perfectly good days out of the year to start. Just my opinion though. Hope every has a safe and happy New Years! :D

Kenhigg, you hit it right on with #1 and #2. I think love must be the first and foremost reason for marriage and then followed closely by compatibility. You need to have both of those though because without those two then the relationship is most likely destined to be doomed. The ranking of...

And I never heard of Bob Hope being British. Or is he being referred to as a British style of comic? :confused:

Been together for 5 years and married for 2 years. Although it has its ups and downs I'd have to say it keeps getting better. There seemed to be more tension during the first year of marriage (not to mention the year leading up to the wedding :eek: ), but our relationship seems more relaxed...

I've been a Bears fan for many years now and so far they're having a pretty good season. I made a prediction jokingly to a friend of mine after week 4 that the Bears win the superbowl by beating the Colts 20-10 (He's a HUGE Colts fan). At that time the Bears were 1-3 so it would be quite...

Those little guys are pretty dang clever. There are very few anti-squirrel bird feeders out there that work. A lot of the time squirrels will team up to accomplish their objective and a lot of the squirrel proof feeder manufacturers don't take that into account.

The squirrel probably was laughing. When I let my dog outside he often ends up going crazy and barking at the squirrels in the trees. My wife and I swear that those squirrels purposely sit up there and taunt our dog. :D
