Do I tip the manicurist, and if so, how much?
Yes, 15-20%. But that's what I tip everyone. Actually, depending on how cheap the nail place is, I tip more than that -- a $6 eyebrow wax is definitely worth more to me than a $1 tip.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Yes! I always tip %20 for pretty much anything. The math is relatively easy & I don't have to keep different percentages in my head. Of course that doesn't work for tipping baggage handlers ($2 a bag, right?) or housekeeping at a hotel...shit, i'm realizing that I bet we didn't leave a housekeeping tip when I was in NC with my brother & nieces. I was too crazed getting the nieces together.

Yeah, it's the one thing that's cheap about living here.
Also, I always forget to tip at hotels, and only feel bad about it when it's way too late! That's a weird custom, I think -- most other people I'm tipping, I'm looking at them when they're providing the service.

I am normally pro-cilantro, but my burrito maker went a little heavy on it today.

Twenty percent it is! It's going to be $17 to take off the old acrylics and manicure the actual nails underneath, so another $4 should cover the tip.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
So, y'all know how Sars of TWOP and Tomato Nation fame said that if her readers raised whatever amount of money for donorschoose, she'd dress up in a tomato costume and dance around in Rock Center? Yeah, today's the day.
I was going to post this!
I feel bad regarding the strike for buffistas who will be laid off (though, maybe it will be ultimately beneficial) but I am kind of excited to find out what the networks and studios do! Is it going to be crazy game shows all the time?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
