How much do you tip a dog groomer?
It's 15% of the total price. My dog groomer comes to my home and she takes in senior dogs that no one else wants (has 18 of them now) and since she lives on a farm with her husband she has a lot of room. All dogs are in their home! She gives them lots of love, feeds them, plays with them and gives them a good life until the end of their lives comes and then she pays for putting them to sleep so I give her a bigger tip because it helps her out.
AnswerA groomer who owns her own business (at home or at a salon) does not have to be tipped but does appreciate the sentiment. As for a groomer in a grooming shop, they do appreciate tips seeing as they work on commission or hourly salary. Think of it this way...do you tip your hair stylist or manicurist?

The Hippopotamus is the black marketeer of the river, they can be found scattered in all the bars in Africa, wearing sunglasses and carrying big bags. They sneak up on you and their opening lines vary from 'Alright my son' to 'Can I interest you in' followed by ' two for a tenner, buy four get one free' or 'Just fell off the back of a ship'.
The Hippopotamus rarely gets arrested, I mean would you arrest one, I know I wouldn't. And what ever you do, do not ever call them Hippos, not unless you have a suicide wish.
The youngsters have invented a new game, sneaking up on boats, and trying to shout boo in the ear of the nearest human, this has led to many varying disagreements, and a few deaths, not of the youngster, but of humans.
Lately, Hippopotamus have started becoming time-share sellers, this is proving to be very lucrative for them, as most people are afraid to say no.
Hippos spend the entire day in the water. The pigment ( or lack of) in the their skin would sun burn rapidly. Therefore, staying in the water protects them from the sun. They move onto land once the sun goes down to feed in surrounding areas, sometimes traveling several miles to do so. In the early morning twilight, they return to the body of water they call home.

What alcohol would you take to a 1920's dinner party?
If this question is with regard to the United States, the 1920s were an era in which any sale, manufacture, or transportation of alcoholic beverages was banned with the National Prohibition Act. Bringing alcohol to a dinner party, would have been frowned upon in many homes, as it was illegal. Many Americans considered alcohol to be an evil of society, which lead to the 18th Amendment being passed in the first place.
That being said, there were many others who didn't consider alcohol evil, and found ways to drink alcohol regardless of the fact that it was against the law. 'Bootleggers' thrived, as did 'speakeasy' clubs, and home winemakers. However, as this question is under the category "Manners and Etiquette", etiquette dictates that one does not bring an illegal, or banned substance, into another person's home to which one has been invited as a guest.Beer or gin.

How do you make out with someone?
If you're together alone, don't exactly give it away but tease the other person rub their back touch their face or neck then gently kiss them, but not full make out. If you're a girl, a dude gets really really inpatient and wants to kiss you, because what guy doesn't want to make out? If you're a dude then why are you asking just do that. Sometimes it works out, but if it doesn't, it's not my fault boys.
another answer:
if your together alone and you've been talking to them so you both feel comfortable then just tell the other person to shut their eyes and then gently kiss him slowly, not to rough and then bring yourself away and then see how he/she reacts and then take it from there...
if your really nervous give them a blind fold and tell them that you gonna play a game called taste test then get three types of food and give him/her each one and instead of giving him/her the 3rd one kiss him/her then when you feel okay take the blind fold of the other person.
Tell the person how you feel, make subtle movements that imply you like them like moving forward to sit closer touching them and see how they react if they like this try to kiss them first, the slowly open your mouth n lick their lip to see if they want to go that far if they do its just natural from then on.
Who comes first when addressing letter husband or wife?
Outside of the traditional, formal "Mr. & Mrs. John Doe", it used to be the case that the wife's name always came first when using first names: "Jane and John Doe". This was due to the antiquated belief that the woman would be solely responsible for the administration of domestic life. Nowadays the order is irrelevant as long as it is applied consistently. The only exception is if one party outranks the other in terms of educational degree or professional or social standing. In this case their name always comes first on both the envelope and the invitation itself. Traditionally, the man's first and surnames are never separated. At Emilypost.com, she notes that traditionally, a man's name was first on an envelope adddress (Mr. and Mrs. John Doe), and his first and surname were not separated (Jane and John Doe), but that "nowadays", the order was irrelevant (for the reason above).
