    OT Iknow, but over the years, when I'm not the driver in the car, I get carsick - not to the point of throwing up, but dizzy, nauseous etc, and it can last then for a couple days! I also notice it when doing p90x plus, those dervish moves with the side to side motion. Other than dramamine...

    Well, when a stylist - who gets paid small salary plus commission does it, I tip 20 percent....the owner, doesn't have to fork over part of her fee like the sylist does (they get half of what it costs generally right?
