I’m in complete agreement, Jody, and would sum this up in one sentence: “Love the one you’re with.”

Thanks for the guest post.

Comment on 100+ Bands I’ve Seen Live by Ed

Thanks for the note, Rid. Yep, you were there for the most recent 4 (Atlantic Aftermath through Green Day), plus a number of the earlier ones. I added 2009 for my second time seeing Minus the Bear and fixed the punctuation on MMJ (thanks!), but I think the My Morning Jacket dates are correct: Once at Coachella in 2006, and the next year at Marquee.

Hey! I was at the most recent couple of shows with you! I think you saw Minus the Bear and My Morning Jacket more recently than 2007, and My Morning Jacket says 92) instead of (2). You have quite a live show background!

I’m honored to be included with your family, Steve Martin, John Candy and JayBaer. I’m especially thankful for having a CX fanatic and friend who can type with olives on his fingers.

By the way, I donated $20 through Tweetsgiving, organized by the certified non-profit Epic Change, to help raise money to build a technology lab for a school in Arusha, Tanzania. My friend Jay Baer donated $100. Won’t you share your gratitude by donating, too? Click on the Tweetsgiving link in my post or just go here: http://www.Tweetsgiving.com.

Comment on Tipping for Dummies by Ed

What makes you think you’re the Josh in this post, eh? Okay, you are. But I hope I didn’t imply that you were a bad tipper; that was not my intention. Only that people spend way too much time trying to calculate a tip precisely, when it’s much easier and more generous to simply round everything up. Let’s go out for another Guinness soon and test my theory.

PS, I get your “tipping” joke. I wonder if anyone else will?

Hey Ed,

If I remember correctly, it wasn’t about tip being the proper percentage, but making my check total a round number like $21.00 or $22.50. I actually strive to be a pretty good tipper, to be honest, but if I round down to 18% instead of rounding up to 22%, does that make me a bad tipper? Probably not.

As a matter of fact, I’m a pretty good tipper on most occasions, except for the times when I can’t fit “If you have dried candle wax on your carpet, use a hot iron and a paper bag to remove it,” on that little line on the receipt.

Actually, dear, your method is the same as mine, except you wrote it as a sentence instead of numbered steps. The only thing I do differently is round up the total first, so you have a simple even number to double.

My method is quicker. Double the total of the dollar amount which your brain do fairly quickly. $18.62 equals $1.80 times two which quickly calculates to $3.60. Round up to $4.00 and you’re golden.
