I just recalled a lesson in my Values class in high school: My teacher said it would be great if you could smile at everyone even at strangers, as you could lighten up their day. My classmates joked around and said: "Teacher,...

UK_Shree I know what you mean - smiling at everybody could even be a bit dangerous as some people could take it the wrong way

UK_Shree Yes I enjoyed both. The book has a lot more detail in it, as most books do - but I actually think both were great. I would definitely recommend them.

UK_Shree I think you should give it a go - like you said - everyone has a different view and you must just like it.

UK_Shree I am reading the time travelers wife too and have almost finished it! I have really enjoyed it so far and am surprised you do not like it! It is a very romantic book and I thought it has been quite well written. The movie came out quite a few months ago.

Do you tip at every place you go out to eat? I know that in certain, say fancier than usual restaurants it is expected that you leave a tip. But what about places like Pizza Hut, or Chiquito's for example?

UK_Shree I suppose that is one way of looking at it. If the service charge is included and the service has been average I probably wouldn't tip though.

Did anyone watch the UK episode of Eastenders yesterday? I thought Lucas was supposed to be 'good' and 'religious'... I can't believe he is trying to blackmail Patrick about his past. I really don't like Lucas anymore. I...

UK_Shree Yes giving the tip in cash whilst paying for the bill is usually what I do too.

UK_Shree I couldn't beleive how he killed Owen this week! And to think that he thinks he is doing God's job! I can't wait until he gets caught out - it will sure be great to watch as his true character is revealed!

I love dogs. I just think they are the sweetest creatures on earth. Sure there are the occasional bad ones but most are sweet and good. Do you love dogs like I do?

UK_Shree I have to say that no, I do not tip every single person that waits on me. I am glad to hear your aunt was able to do something wonderful and bring up 3 kids on a waiting job, but I can only justify tipping someone if they have done a good job of waiting and...

UK_Shree Yes I think this is the way that most people do it. If there is a service charge then really is there any need because you are just topping up already on the charge for service. Extra special service does deserve a little extra though.
