Give, and you shall receive?

I waited on a table today who didn't give me anything in tips. Bastards. Not to worry. They apologised and I politely responded that it had been my pleasure. Their excuse for going tip-free was that they paid on a platiunum credit card).As i waved them goodbye (yes, i ACTUALLY waved) It only then occured to me that i had lied. To be honest, had i been playing the card game, 'Bulshit'? I would have had a huge, fat stack of cards sitting in my lap in that moment.


I've been wondering a bit lately (read: alot). Is the only reason we give; to receive? If we aren't getting out what we put in, should we continue to give? Im going to be brave and be really honest. I would not have been as out-of-my-way friendly had i known they would not tip. 


Truth is, i really do believe is that giving never disadvantanges the doner. In fact, giving ensures you have more chances of being able to receive. If you don't get back everytime, thats ok. Because you're already 10 up on the people who wait for good things to happen to them.
  

Cruelty against women? Australia says NO

Sometimes magazines ruin fashion for me. Maybe its because I know they're trying to sell me everything they show. Or maybe its because everyone who reads them, ends up looking the same. 


Lets be honest here. Even if you are wearing the coolest look, if the person next to you is wearing the same thing...  The minute you're told to get the "Can't-function-limbs-without" garment, RUN! In fact sprint as fast as your little demin clad body will go, and head directly to the nearest safe home or contact a friend or relative. Immediately. Cruelty against women? Australia says NO.
