I realize this is a ridiculous thing to whine about, but here goes - I am consigning clothes this week. I hate having to buy hangers just so I can - kelly Jun 23, 18:04 11
- what'? that's stupid -- nm - loosi at home Jun 23, 18:31

  - This. Goodwill, get a reciept, write off on your taxes -- nm - Bacon Jun 23, 18:23 4
    - fyi: consigning means she will get paid for them. -- nm - loosi at home Jun 23, 18:32 3
      - Well, I get paid for them if I sell them. - kelly Jun 23, 18:36
      - So why be annoyed about the hangers? -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 18:34
      - One is easy and one is harder. It won't all sell -- nm - Bacon Jun 23, 18:33
- Damn. I just tossed 3 large bags of hangars earlier today. -- nm - TWuG Jun 23, 18:06 3
  - It's a children's consignment sale - I'm getting rid of baby clothes - so it's a lot of tiny hangers. :) - kelly Jun 23, 18:09 2
    - squeeze and twist some regular wire hangers so they yoke and can hang small items -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 23, 18:24

If you have a kid come over to mow your lawn, do you tip? How much? -- nm - kelly Jun 23, 17:19 22
- Haven't had the lawn situation but We tipped babysitters. I'm thinking its similar . -- nm - Zunk xometimes Jun 23, 18:32
- You're already paying them to mow, right? Then nothing. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 23, 17:44
- i never got tipped. just paid the $20 or whatever we agreed to -- nm - charlie Jun 23, 17:43 13
  - I feel like this kid is a steal - he charges $10 for the entire yard (we have a small townhouse yard, but still, it's work) - kelly Jun 23, 18:00 11
    - i would pay him what he charges and then give him a little sumpin extra at the end of the mowing season -- nm - charlie Jun 23, 18:01 10
      - If he sticks it out then a bonus is appropriate. Some cookies/brownies/cake or such after each session would be nice. -- nm - zork Jun 23, 18:04 6
        
        a glass of lemonade is customary -- nm - charlie Jun 23, 18:08 5

      - We don't use him all the time - sometimes we just do it ourselves. - kelly Jun 23, 18:03 1
        
        I would kick in 2 bucks based on your IM above -- nm - Bacon Jun 23, 18:04
      - this -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 18:01
  - maybe if you`d done better! ha .nm - mud Jun 23, 17:56
- no tip required. -- nm - Karl_S Jun 23, 17:41
- interesting question. it's a contracted rate and there should be no tipping. BUT this is a kid you want to come back and do it again. I suggest - peglegpete Jun 23, 17:29 1
  - I concur. Next time the yard will be immaculate. -- nm - zork Jun 23, 17:30
- didn't you already negotiate a rate? I wouldn't tip unless they did extra stuff beyond what you're expecting. -- nm - zork Jun 23, 17:27
- I would tip 5-10 percent if the job looks fantastic -- nm - Bacon Jun 23, 17:22
- (Also - Will, can you make sure there are no Murphy surprises in the back yard?) - kelly Jun 23, 17:20

- I'm watching -- (link) - zork Jun 23, 17:25 [Backboard] 3
  - No argument with that - Just feel it's being slightly misrepresented. - Meg Jun 23, 17:41 2
    - well, the actual grand canyon is what, 20 miles across? -- nm - loosi at home Jun 23, 18:33
    - There's a positive out of this. Maybe some more tourism in the future too. At first, didn't they say G.C. when Evel did his Snake River jump? -- nm - zork Jun 23, 17:53
- If he dies, I'll see it on the news so why bother? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 16:59
- No interest, as there are only two possible outcomes and they're both bad. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 23, 16:41 7
  - I dunno. From watching Man on Wire, it looked like there's lots that one could on the way - JD Jun 23, 16:47 6
    - So, best case is watching someone walk a straight line, take a nap, then walk some more? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 23, 17:26 1
      - it's not like he's going to change a tire on a Harrier hovering next to him :(( -- nm - peglegpete Jun 23, 17:30
    - Never before had I wished for retro-active gale force winds - Will Hunting Jun 23, 17:02
    - But thinking about it, I was young and gullible enough that I watched Evel and that whole Snake Canyon Skycycle thing -- nm - JD Jun 23, 16:50 2
      - I was a huge Evel fan -- nm - zork Jun 23, 17:29
      - he was known for crashing, wallenda isn't -- nm - peglegpete Jun 23, 17:02
- if he falls it'll be on youtube. if he makes it it will be as exciting as - sgtmike Jun 23, 16:29
- It's on a 5:00 here so won't interfere with primetime. Yep, he's crossing the Little Colorado River on Navajo land. - Meg Jun 23, 16:29 1
  - This was taken from the grounds of the Cameron Lodge just upstream from where he's crossing. -- (link) - Meg Jun 23, 16:33 [flickr]
- not me. any bad results will be on the news -- nm - peglegpete Jun 23, 16:21

- Mark Millar's response is stupid. - Dano Jun 23, 18:13 1
  - I think what he really wanted to say was, "WTF did you feel the *need* to come out and say anything?" -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 18:26
- you don't know how long I have been waiting to hear those frist 9 words -- nm - Jenny McCarthy Jun 23, 16:23
- While I think he's a psychotic jackass, his explanation is reasonabile. -- nm - David Jun 23, 15:57 12
  - Kick Ass 1 crossed a line for me. -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 16:02 5
    - Same, though it's more a Mark-Millar-in-general thing for me -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 18:03
    - Yeah, we were both unsettled by it. I have less of a problem with Kick-Ass 2 now that she's 16. -- nm - David Jun 23, 16:09
    - curious what that was? - Mel Profit Jun 23, 16:09 2
      - Hit Girl was supposed to an 11-year-old who murdered people at her father's request. -- nm - David Jun 23, 16:10 1
        
        that would do it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 23, 16:11
  - Hmm, I like reasonabile. It's when something is logical but you hate it anyway. -- nm - David Jun 23, 15:57 5
    - Hackman was the same way about Unforgiven. But I think he held his tongue until after he won the Academy Award -- nm - amoxy Jun 23, 16:03 4
      - I watched this just last night. Still great. It's like there was always a bigger sadist. -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 18:05
      - "you probably thinking I'm kicking you, Bob." - Mel Profit Jun 23, 16:11
      - Unforgiven treated violence differently. -- nm - Bacon Jun 23, 16:06
      - *snork* -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 16:04

        All my stuff is here. Why leave? -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 15:08
