Does LETTING go of your MEMORIES allow YOU to OPEN up to the FUTURE??

texasclassygal @texasclassygal (5305) • United States 1 May 07

While going through old kids clothes recently, there were so many memories, so hard to let go. But there is also so much future to miss when we don't let go of the past. Memories are wonderful. They are an inspiration. But we must...

twistedvanilla I don't have a problem throwing out the kids old clothes - but I have a process. The stuff I don't care for that I dont think anyone else could use, I throw away. The stuff that is still in good shape but I don't care for, I give away. The stuff that I like...

texasclassygal @texasclassygal (5305) • United States 4 Apr 07

As some of you may know (from previous discussions of mine) I get a ton of WRONG NUMBERS, being blessed with a dealership number in the phone book and now a church who has a number similar to us our phone is always ringing. So...

twistedvanilla I don't make a lot of phone calls but on the occasion that I do dial the wrong number, I'll say something along the lines of, "I'm so sorry to have bothered you, you have a nice day now." and then I hang up. It doesn't cost me a thing to be apologetic and...

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 26 Mar 07

Tipping

finlander60 @finlander60 (1804) • United States 20 Mar 07

When you go out to eat, how well do you tip? The standard used to be about ten percent. I believe that the standard has now been raised to around fifteen percent. As a former short-order cook in a good restaurant, I was used to...

twistedvanilla Tipping is supposed to be 15% I think. On the few occasions we do go out, if the service is good, we will leave a tip. Anymore though, service has not been good. If the restaurant is busy, I could understand a little better, take that into consideration...but...
