          I'm thinking of writing a tip. My past tips have not gone so well, they don't get a lot of views or votes and the votes are not so great, I don't think the tip is all that bad. I think a tip should be be a short bit of experience you can offer, not a full article. What are your thoughts? What makes a good tip?

              Yes, only a couple of messages in and the threads gone-to-pot. Mind you I may have a few more in my pocket, if any of you want to join a bridge call I can share them ;-). Andy B

                                Don't so this. There may be a war. At that point people's hearts will break, bodies will need to be buried (using spades of course) and the only entertainment left will be in clubs.

                                    I'll just pummel them with my blackjack, or take a swipe at them with my poker. If we have to, we can put them in solitaire-y confinement.

                                      Yeah, 15% is the norm, but 20% if you think they are offering excellent service, and when you think they make less than minimum wage because of tips... I often just give out the 20....
