Michelle said this in comments, and it’s what I do too: Simple trick to calculating a tip. Move the decimal over one place and double that total. So, if your bill is $100.00, it would be $10.00 x2 = $20. Or if your bill is $5.23, your tip should be .52 x2= $1.04

*-Choose a good mate (Thanks, Pamela)
*-Ask for help (Thanks, Mavis)
So, according to this list I need to work on:
-Remember names (uh, never gonna happen)
-Mix a signature drink (I'm not a huge mixed drink fan and Jerad just does it better)
-Change a tire and put on snow chains (Eh, I have a husband. Better than AAA. Actually, I can change a tire, I just worry it will fall off. )
-Make a perfect egg (not ever going to happen since I hate eggs.
-Deliver a eulogy: (luckily I havent had to encounter this one yet)
-Know a second language (I'm fairly competent in Spanish. I can get my point across, but not fluent)
-Dress to flatter your shape (I basically just buy stuff I like. Then I got pregnant so now I just wear whatever will fit over my belly).
-Build a campfire (I can probably do this. But Jerad is always there when I go camping so... he's all over it)
Some of those things seem so easy... like who doesn't know how to wash a load of laundry?

very interesante...
haha you should still know the egg for other people and maybe your son will really like over easy...
good read... :)
heh true... for easter I had to google "how long do you boil an egg"
I figured its just water and an egg, how hard can it be? I just needed to know how long. WRONG.
I boiled the water, then threw the cold eggs into it. idiot:)
you had me right up until feel confident naked. oh wait, back in highschool i was a hottie mc hot so hell yeah i felt comfortable naked
I didn't even know she linked to me until I saw this :) I suggested number 98. I love this list. Some things I've mastered, and some I don't think I'll get to, like tie a knot. Hardly useful in Brooklyn :)
