Hi Friends,
I was thinking today what a fortunate group of women we are, able to chat across the world, we are loved by our families, have full & plenty to lead comfortable lives. I think the thing that started me thinking this I watched a documentary about parts of Africa where the Aids virus is now out of control, the suffering of the women & children was shocking to watch, there are so many women oppressed in this world that one feels very helpless.
I watched Dr. Phyl today while resting, the subject was tipping & the attitudes of husband & wives about this. I was amazed as tipping is very rare here, I don't think I have ever had to tip once in my life. I guess there would be tipping in the upper class establishments here now, when we used to go to very nice places to eat a few years ago you never were expected to tip, mind you girls I will admit I am a bit out of circulation now, I think we are a bit tough here if you get reasonable salary you are expected to give a good days work includind service.
I will come to a close as I am starting to ramble on, love & HUGS to everyone Doreen.

I'm sorry to hear tipping has spread.I do think good wages would be better,However I don't know that those that have to depend on tips want it any other way.That is if they are in a good spot.The poor gals working in the cheap places, if anything, work harder and get less.
Doreen, when I see your post it puts a smile on my face.Thank you.martha
We do tip but only if we get good service!!!!!
Hugs Judi
You are right we're fortunate to live where we do. The question that always comes to mind is...why us & not them? I thank God for that & this board of friends.
Love & Hugs back to you! Cal
