Yay for the good nurse, Kat. I'm sure it makes a huge difference.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's huge, Kat. I'm so happy for you.
And for sara's dad. Way cool.
Terminology question: the drinking game I played in college was called "I never." Everywhere I see it now, it's called "I've never." Which totally makes more sense. Were we just drunken slurring lushes, or did anyone else call it "I never."
Also, seriously, I miss when that was fun. Those were mad stupid days. Sometimes grownup isn't all it cracked up to be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
We always called it "I never". "I've" seems way too sober and correct for the spirit of the game.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It was "I never" for us, too. I've seen "Never have I ever" which has a nice ring to it, but wasn't what we said.

It was always "I never" to me.
And I looooved it. To my friend's annoyance. Because I always popped out with embarrassing stuff I knew they'd done.

"I never".
Kat, I'm so glad the new nurse is awesome.
Vortex - Kelly was delighted with the music. Both kids got a kick out of the mystery package from a stranger. Heeeee! Buffistas are awesome-sauce.
Though, I may have to hurt my girl child if she doesn't fork over the pictures she took of my reworked tat.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
OK, house sitting in the town I grew up in. A girl I knew as a kid has a dog grooming service and as my dog needs grooming the course of action seems obvious.
Here's the question. Do I tip? Its her own business, but in matters grooming (be it me or the pup) I tend to anyway. How much do I tip? Her rate is a bit more than the local average, but she brings her rig here.
Thoughts?

Yeah, I'd tip -- it's always seemed to me that matters where you tip or not is a bigger expectation than owner vs. not. And anyway, goodwill with an old acquaintance is infinitely better than not.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'd tip.
I have got to make that tomato sauce soon. I have all of the ingredients already.

But the reason you don't tip owners is because they can set their own rates, whereas delivery people, cab drivers, hairdressers, etc. generally don't. She charges more to come to you and collects the entire fee; I don't see why you would tip on top of that.
