There is this girl, Cat, at our DZ who is amazing. She went through AFF with such ease, passing every level and then just excelling in the sport. She is just awesome. My boyfriend was very similar - he just excelled a fast rate. I had some struggles. Failed level 4 of AFF once - but passed the rest. Struggled with RW. Though, freeflying has come fairly easy for me. I think it's just because it's where my heart is. Anyway, I think there are some who struggle a lot, some who struggle less, and some who make us all look bad. Though I think there is potential to be a great skydiver no matter how you start.

Situations/circumstances that really make you uncomfortable
bkdice replied to Muenkel's topic in The Bonfire
Brewing fights / flaring tempers between friends. Nothing makes me more uncomfortable than watching that. -

that sucks.

I disagreed with her too. Makes sense to tip on the whole bill in your case. For the most part, the really expensive wines cannot be afforded by me, so I don't really have to worry about tipping on a bill that is more than half a bottle of wine. Just wanted opinions. Like I said, I am ALL for showing appreciation for good service. Man, I'm getting hungry now...

My mom once told me that you don't include the alcohol when you tip. I have had waiters / waitresses tell me different. However, if I have a $200 meal and $300 bottle of wine - I'd probably tip 20%+ on $350. This seems to be a gray area for some. I currently just steer away from the $300 bottles of wine. I would rather tip on the entire bill - but what if more than half your bill was 1 bottle of wine that took them all of a minute to present to you?

This is true in some cases. But you know that saying "it's hard to find good help these days"? Well, I think it is often hard to find good service. So, if I receive it, I make sure my appreciation is known.

$200 tip is 20% of $1K. Must be going to some nice restaurants! I tend to tip 20% at restaurants for good service. I won't tip well or at all for bad service. I've tipped up to 40% at fine dining places for excellent service. I don't have much $$, but I really appreciate good service when it comes to dining out. I also tip for take out. I forgot to mention that in my poll, dammit. I tip 5-10% for take out.

I had a discussion with a friend the other day about tipping. I tip well (since I once worked for tips as a delivery driver). I also appreciate good service. However, I never tipped the paper delivery person and my friend scolded me saying she tipped them every month. WTF? So - what are your view points on tipping?
-
She did PM me. I'll send out an update if I get my refund next week.

there is one out there - i think. found my perfect man last year - and he was right under my nose (i had known him for a year prior). i was in a relationship for 6 years with someone i cared for very much, but the last year of that relationship, i realized i was settling for someone i wasn't happy with anymore. my man i have now, makes me so happy, i could write about it forever. i finally feel no fear about the future (of our relationship - not trying to say that I was afraid of my own future) and there is no uncertainty. he is the ONE - my perfect match. so - don't give up. it will happen. and you will KNOW when it happens.

alrighty... i'm shutting down for the day. i sent you my paypal info for a refund and haven't heard back from you yet. hopefully i'll come in tomorrow and things will have been straightened out. i'm keeping the 'borrowed' rose colored glasses on until tomorrow. hope you do the right thing.
-
i'm so proud of you. you know, if you weren't so damn funny, and kept people posting, you could be much more successful at thread killing.
-
no worries
-
you're directing this at "groovychic", right?
-
I'll keep that memory alive.
-
Wow - that thread just vanished. Hopefully there will be no need to revisit that topic. We'll see what groovychic does to make things right for those she "burned"
-
Sent you a PM - but for the public forum.... i appreciate your apology and i will be sure to confirm to everyone i can that you made things right, if the refund is put through ASAP. you guys do have some very cool shirts. i understand you got over your head. you just should have informed your customers. bettina

you don't have to protect freakous - he's very open about his feelings towards sheep.

awww.... posting that may turn this into a picture thread you know. i have so many pictures of my dog and cat around, it's silly. i could barely read that story. 8 years ago, i moved out of my parent's house and left my animals behind with the rest of the family pets (dogs, horses, & cats) . they have a better life there - with a yard and room to run. i didn't have the room to keep them, or the time to care for them. however, i do go see them all 5 days a week after work (luckily they live 10 mins away
