Yeah, I was told to avoid dairy before shows too.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Punishingly Intricate
My friends (who are professional singers) avoid dairy before singing for this reason - said it fucks up your voice & throat. But I guess they could be just repeating an old wives' tale.
Yeah I think that it's repeated a lot but not actually true. Here from a completely unreliable source:
Although a website called milksucks.com claims that it is true!

BWAH!!
I love how he just keeps doing his thing and then about ten seconds in, looks around like, "Bzuh?"

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Question: when someone comes to clean your house, do you tip him or her? I'm not sure if it will be the owner of the business or not. (it's an independent small local company thing)
I have a general rule -- if you do an extraordinary job, you get a tip. Exceptions to this rule (in the sense that an exception means always tipping) are waitstaff and taxis. I think that tipping is a reward for going above and beyond. Just doing your job doesn't get you a tip, IMNSHO.
When I had a housekeeper (pauses to savor the constant cleanliness that has been absent in the new place), I gave her a holiday tip or tipped if I'd forgotten to leave the top lock unlocked and she had to come back, etc.

What about hairstylists?

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My last massage therapist was anti-tip. She said she felt she was a professional running a business and charging what her services were worth. I don't know how wide-spread this point of view is, though.
