Sorry for the lack of posts of late. We were without internet access during part of June, when we did a little traveling. The prospect of blogging on a smart phone just didn’t seem all that much fun. Additionally, a few major life changes (all positive, we assure you) kept us from sitting down at the computer, except to send in our weekly HNT pictures.

Anyway, here’s our TMI Tuesday entry for this week.

1. Do you leave a tip at a restaurant? If so, how much? Do you double the tax?
It depends on the service I receive. I generally do tip, and it takes some reprehensible treatment by the server to warrant not tipping at all. But whether I double the tax, or leave some pre-determined percentage of the bill, depends on the server’s attitude and performance.

2. What celebrity did you have a crush on growing up?
Julia Roberts. My interest in her was directly influenced by the fact that she had never done a nude scene, in the truest sense of the term. Had she gotten naked in Pretty Woman (and I’m not referring to that half-assed through-the-headboard nipple shot), I might not have followed her career as long as I did.

3. Do you excuse yourself to “fart” or let it rip and blame the guy next to you?
Excuse myself.

4. When entering or exiting a store, do you hold the door open for the person behind you, if they’re relatively close… if they’re more than 10 steps away do you pause and hold the door open?
I generally hold the door open. It’s actually something I’m known for. Doesn’t matter if they’re ten steps away or twenty; if it looks like they’re heading for the door I’m walking through, I’ll hold it open. And yes, on more than one occasion I’ve found myself holding a door open only for the person for whom I was holding it to walk right by me without entering/exiting. Ah well – no one said being a nice guy was easy.

5. Ever had mono?
Nope.

Bonus (as in optional): Ever paid for sex?
We all pay for sex in one way or another. Some of us pay directly for sex with money, while others pay indirectly. Still others pay with their sanity.

I do tip at restaurants. I usually double the tax or tip 20%.

2. What celebrity did you have a crush on growing up?
Michael J. Fox.

3. Do you excuse yourself to “fart” or let it rip and blame the guy next to you?
Sometimes I excuse myself, and other times I blame someone else. It’s much easier now that I usually have a baby to blame.

I always hold the door.

No.

Are we talking money here?
