Tipping a Server

bethyboo @bethyboo (399) • United States 16 Sep 07

I think some people don't completely understand how to tip a server. If a server provides good service at a restaurant, the standard tip is anywhere from 15 to 20% of the total of the check. I am a server and I work hard at my...

littlepeople38 I was a server for years, and I always tip 20% or more. The only time I don't is when I get rude service. If my server forgets something, or has trouble getting to me quickly, I don't get upset because I know what it's like. I have heard people say that...

Are there any healthy snacks for dieters?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 15 Sep 07

Today I was reading that certain low fat snacks like pretzels aren't really good for dieters, because they're just empty calories. That's kind of bad news for me, because I love pretzels. Anyway, now I need to find another low...

littlepeople38 Well, really if you are just looking for something to tide you over between meals, there is nothing at all wrong with pretzels. Not every calorie taken in needs to be a nutritional powerhouse. But, if you want it to be something more nutrient dense, try fresh...

can you get your children to drink water?

mystic_0318 @mystic_0318 (937) • United States 15 Sep 07

As a mother of 3 daughters I can't get 2 of my girls to drink water. They think they have to have Kool-aid or juice all the time. And I try to get them to drink water everyday and all they do is scream and cry about it. Cause I...

littlepeople38 As others have mentioned, if there is nothing but water, they will at some point drink it. I finally just decided to stop buying any juice drinks. Sometimes I do buy the flavored water drinks, but otherwise they just have to get used to it.

littlepeople38 Oh, I only managed to truly quit once. I have been a smoker for 23 years, and once I made it an entire year without touching a cigarette. I actually quit by reading a book called "Stop Smoking the Easy Way." It seemed like it had to be a joke that a book could...

littlepeople38 One thing I think many parents forget is that they need to model appropriate behavior and manners-- not just tell their kids how to act. I have always said "please", "thank you", "excuse me", etc. to my children, just as I would extend that courtesy to any...

littlepeople38 I'm just like a 2 year old. I get on "jags" all the time. Sometimes it will be red grapes, other times dry cereal. I know what you mean about the candy though. I have always loved just about every kind, and eat way more of it than my kids do. For snacking, Hot...

BayleighGray @BayleighGray (4334) • United States 11 Sep 07

Did you learn table manners when you were a kid?

kristi73 @kristi73 (257) • United States 10 Sep 07

I don't know if it is just me but, I have noticed more and more people chew with thier mouths open. It seems like people just don't use thier manners at the dinner table anymore.

littlepeople38 In my opinion, it has alot to do with the fact that most people don't even eat together at the table anymore. It's a shame, but I think that has alot to do with it.

littlepeople38 I think I see it both ways actually. First off, I have two boys who are almost exactly two years apart. I was so glad to have boys. For some reason, I secretly hoped not to have any girls. Anyway, my younger son is severely autistic, so I can't really relate...

Did you know that there is such a thing as left handed scissors??

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 6 Sep 07

I'm right handed. The idea of left handed scissors never occured to me. My son is left handed. Last year his teacher told him to tell me to get him left handed scissors. I had no clue! He was in 5th grade last year. All that...

Withoutwings @Withoutwings (6992) • United States 11 Feb 07

Mine is spark "iiiee" but "liquid diamonds" is a close 2nd. I also really like "raspberry swirl" (it's my email address) and "jackie's strength". I have the raspberry swirl necklace from this tour.

littlepeople38 "Liquid Diamonds", "Cruel", and "iieee". This was such an interesting CD, and so different from those before, that it is really difficult to choose my favorite. I love "Northern Lad" also, but it's a little too depressing for me.

What is your favorite song from Tori Amos' album "To Venus and Back"?

Withoutwings @Withoutwings (6992) • United States 11 Feb 07

I really love this album, so it's a hard choice for me. "1000 Oceans" always makes me really sad. "Bliss" always reminds me of my dad. I love "Concertina" a lot. "Suede" is so sensual. I also really like "Josephine" for some...

littlepeople38 I love "Josephine." It has such a melancholy quality, yet not really sad. The melody is beautiful. I also like "Bliss", "Concertina", and "Spring Haze."

littlepeople38 "'97 Bonnie and Clyde" has to be my favorite. I think I may be one of the few, but it's weird because I love it, but almost can't listen to it at the same time. I literally get the creeps.
