Should a server at a restaurant feel entitled to a 15% tip for something they're already being paid to do? If you go out for a meal, get a regular "hello, here are our specials for the night", "ready to order?", "hows everything" and the typical "THANKS!" written on your receipt, do they really deserve that 15%? Do you tip even though you get lousy service? What is your view on tipping?

I was just on a site where I can enter my due date and find out how many weeks along I am, and also convert it to months, and when I seen how far along i am (3.1 months) I was really shocked. Does the whole pregnancy go by this fast or is it just me? And have any of you ever felt if you thought about it in weeks that it seemed less time than when you think about it in months? Or could I just be over excited? So far it feels like it's going fast, and it seems like it's going fast too? So if any mommy out there knows what I'm talking about, let me know.

I want to get me drivers side and passenger side windows bulletproofed. Anyone know where I can look for pricing? All the places I'm seeing online are full on car amouring and looked geared towards commercial vehicles. Anything for the common man?

What do you think of ex-convicts? I was recently released from prison after serving almost 11 years. I am now 29 years old. I studied alot (on my own, contrary to popular belief, prisons do not offer anything past GED) while I was inside and therefore, I am well-spoken. But, I find that when I have to tell others that I have spent time in prison for Assault with Intent to Commit Murder, they change real fast. Am I now to be blackballed by the very same society that felt I was ready to be released? Why are people so afraid of prisoners? We all come from the same places that you come from. Most people have done something that could have landed them in prison, so why would they treat those who got caught differently that those who did not? Any suggestions on how I can try to start over again. It is hard enough trying to readjust after so many years, what should I do?

I am a palanthropist. I love to help people. I often run into people that have no support team. Society is real hard on people that come from difficult backgraounds. And I think it is sad. Have you done anything nice for someone lately? If not you should try to. You don't always have to give money, you can give a peson a kind word, or encourage them, a smile will even do. Let' become better people. Let's love one another and stop judging one another.

Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe, she said...

Gore is chairman of the firm and, presumably, draws an income or will make money as its investments prosper. In other words, he "buys" his "carbon offsets" from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn't buy "carbon offsets" through Generation Investment Management - he buys stocks.

You see things like this all of the time. A comapny sees some success, and suddenly, the workers aren't getting a fair deal. They are worth more. They want to share in the profits.

OK.

But on the flip side, what about when business suffers? Do workers feel that their labor is now worth less? Are the unions willing to take cuts in pay, and share in the misfortune of their employer?

This question is obviously slightly rhetorical in nature, as unions are indeed very quick to demand raises, but very slow to cede anything.

I suppose my primary question is directed to union supporters. How do you justify this apparent double standard?

I think ADD/ADHD is the body reacting to a generation
of people who are responding to a family/culture shift

The school is longer, classes are longer a day
(7 instead of traditional 3)

sport figures are Gods, and your a nobody if you don't play
sports, or cheer for the "Gods"

Cheerleaders are drinking/on drugs
Could this be because all that time on who's popular
isn't all it's cracked up to be?

Remember when there was no ADHD
you know
when people had time for each other, and we could
just breath, sip tea, and TALK to each other?
Now, everyone wants to put out fires

time management is a JOKE
I'm glad women have a choice to work now, and I have been single, and I know how hard that it to be a single parent, but
should we really work if we don't have too when our kids are young?

i think hispanic people have the right idea
at least they are home with their
kids when they are young, even if some do live off the system

Their kids = nurtured OURS = daycare
