    Do you tip?

    I just wanted to respond to Tracey who asked why I work in an industry that depends on the kindness of strangers? I make a lot of money waitressing and bartending. I have made up to $400 a day bartending. It's a very high paying job if you're good at it and in a busy restaurant/bar. I...

    Do you tip?

    I repeat, the system is set up for tipping. You know that ahead of time going in that restaurants are tipping systems. Of course if the service is horrible, you should say something to management, but I know for a fact that people have gotten excellent service and still tip poorly because they...

    Do you tip?

    Sorry to disagree with you, Jennifer, but yes it is the customer's responsibility to pay my salary. That is the system. I don't get a paycheck and it is set up that way because tipping is expected. If you don't believe in that system, don't participate in it. I am an excellent server and...

    Do you tip?

    Okay, folks, you asked for it! Waiters and bartenders expect a tip because that is how we get paid. We don't get a small paycheck, WE GET NO PAYCHECK. We get $2.08 an hour and after you claim your tips and pay taxes, there is NO PAYCHECK. How would you like to get no paycheck after being on...

    Lady dies from H20 intoxication

    I feel really bad for this woman and her family and the radio station was really STUPID for sponsoring a contest like this BUT when are people going to think for themselves and take responsibility for their actions? I'm sure there's going to be a huge lawsuit against the radio station and they...

    Underwear size rant

    I never shop at Kohl's, but I was there Christmas shopping last month. They had some great sales. Anyway, I found some really comfy, stretchy underwear by Maidenform. I can't think of the style name but it was stretch lace and had no waistband, really nice. I have the muffin top thing too...

    Boston Proper question

    I've ordered from them a few times and have always been disappointed. The clothes look really nice but the quality is inferior for the price. Very cheap looking. It's too bad because I like the styles but they just don't measure up. I will never order their clothes again.

    Child or Dog?

    To me this is just kids and dogs being unsupervised. Those kids are really young and even though my kids never did that, I also watched them constantly, so they never had a chance to do that. My kids would never even have access to paint at that age. Where are the parents? Don't people watch...

    How do you tell your husband you may NEVER want kids?

    I've always wanted children, so that was never an issue for me. In fact, my husband was the one who was unsure back in the day. But we discussed it before marriage and it was a dealbreaker for me. If he didn't want kids, I couldn't marry him, it meant that much to me. And I had my children...

    does anyone prefer circuits to straight weight training??

    I have a physically demanding job and work erratic hours, so I usually only workout 3 times a week. Would doing circuit workouts be the best bang for my buck under these circumstances? I really don't have the time or energy for a full blown 6-day a week rotation. Muscle definition is...

    Wal Mart sucks!

    I agree it was rude of them to say "too bad" and you should call the corporate office to let them know of this rudeness. However, how is Wal Mart to know you left an item in your cart in the parking lot? Anyone can just walk by and take it out of your cart and put it in their car. How can Wal...

    NYC banning transfats

    I agree with the Big Brother aspect. I so don't want the government telling us what should be in our food, etc. However, on the flip side, you have people eating all this horrible junk food then suing McDonald's when they're obese and have heart disease. You're giving people the choice to eat...

    Skipping/freezing on older Cathe DVD's

    What a coincidence! I just put in Cardio & Weights the other day and it froze and skipped horribly. I never had that problem with it before. I have no problem with the new ones and I thought if I didn't have a problem right from the start, then it would always be good.

    Magazines?

    One of my favorites is MORE magazine. It's geared for women over 40 and though it does have some fitness tips in it, it is more about the overall experience of women in their 40's, 50's and beyond. Love it! I also enjoy HEALTH magazine, SHAPE but I think I'll let that lapse for now...

    The women in the P90X workouts

    I don't have P90X and so I can't really comment on it, but from what you're saying, the women in the workout don't look as cut as Cathe and crew. But they are using real life people and Cathe and her crew are professionals. Maybe Cathe's crew have other jobs, but they do make these workouts...

    CraveLess...anybody hear of this?

    It does have Garcinia Cambogia Extract which is in a lot of fatburning diet pills. I don't know if it's necessarily bad for you but it is a common ingredient in these type of pills, so that makes me think this particular pill is indeed a diet pill like many others on the market.

    any safe and effective fat loss supplements

    As someone who tried OTC fat burning and appetite suppressants, I can honestly say they don't work! They may temporarily help you lose a few lbs., but once you stop taking them the weight comes back and then some. I really do think they screw your metabolism up. You're much better off doing...

    The Dreaded "Fat Picture"

    RE: The Dreaded I also agree you should be extremely proud of your accomplishments and I love looking at before and after pictures. So inspiring. It makes you realize that with hard work and dedication, amazing things are accomplished. However, if you are uncomfortable showing your bf the...
