Dear Clients, Together most of you paid me well. Non-tippers ruin everything!


     Dear Clients,

     Thank you so much!  Some of you tipped $20, some $10, some $5, and some $1.  Together, all of you chipped in to help maintain a win-win business relationship between you and me.  My employer does not pay me $15 an hour, and I'm okay with that.  You see, we (my employer and I) are counting on you to see to it that I do well, so that I can afford to stay and continue to provide (and continually improve) good service for you.  You make it possible to keep prices down.  You make it possible for us to provide "walk-in" service and provide for you when it is convenient for you.  If my employer had to pay me $15 an hour, prices would have to go up, because neither I nor all other stylists on board could afford to work here.  You keep the win-win business relationship alive.  You win!  I win!  All other clients win!  My boss wins!  The company wins!  I cannot over emphasize how grateful I am that you help keep the win-win situation improving and improving.

     I'm sad to say that non-tippers ruin everything.  Seriously!  They drive prices up.  They drive service quality down.  They take advantage of all other clients.  Bear in mind, they get a reputation that travel with them.  It's the way it is!  (It works that way in food services too.  Waiters and Waitresses know and talk about the non-tippers).   Besides, who would want to be paid NOTHING when good service was demanded?  

     Honestly, I'm grateful for every $1 tips I get.  Everyone can afford to leave at least $1 for each haircut.  I've seen people on limited incomes tip more than that!  I've seen college students tip more than that!  I've seen teenagers tip more than that!  I'll be honest with you!  When I'm tipped more, I'm motivated more to do more!  Why shouldn't I be?

     I understand that not everyone can tip more than $1 per haircut, so I'm not trying to challenge anyone to tip more than they honestly can.  However, I can assure you that generous tips are a wise move. Just as with non-tippers, your reputation as a "good tipper" travels with you.  Hair stylists will practically roll out the red carpet for you when you're a generous tipper.  Why shouldn't they?  Stylist know that you have expectations and you are willing to put your money here your mouth is.  They know that if they mess up, you'll take your money to another stylist!  I can assure you that stylists want to earn your trust and loyalty.  When you pay them well, they are there to treat you like royalty!  You end up feeling much better! You end up feeling much more appreciated and respected!

     Again, I'll say thank you!  You've helped keep good business getting better, and you've help good business help keep you enjoying satisfaction in life.

I think "Exocrine Pancreas Insufficiency" is my condition.

     Warning!  After a few paragraphs, I used some cuss words to describe my experiences.  I wasn't focused on grammar and intellectual word choices as much I was on just telling it like it is as I know it.      During a couple of years ago, diarrhea started to affect my life more than ever.  At the same time, a hernia developed in my gut between my navel and genitals.  I had just begun course work in Cosmetology, and I was getting up at 4:30 every morning because I had to be at work scrubbing pot and pans and doing various other student worker tasks at 6 am. in the campus dining hall.  I worked until 7:45, then started classes which were over at about 4 pm. after which I worked a few more hours in the campus dining hall.  So I was living a busy life when my health issue began to invade my life.  Successfully, I finish my Cosmetology work, got my license, and went to work cutting hair.  Did that for over a year before I could manage to have the needed surgeries for my body.

Fun with Chicken wings, Spicy Sweet and Sour Sauce, Peanut Butter Sauce

  So I was wanting a wide mouth deep cooking tool (it helps avoid grease splatters all over the stove).  A wok is soooo versatile.  I found this one for $5.  I don't like the wooden handles (they tend to deteriorate fast), but it might work out just fine over the long haul.       It was so much fun cutting up the chicken wings and coating them with a mixture of corn starch, all purpose flour (I think self-rising flour would have produced an even crispier crust) to which I should have added baking powder but I forgot, salt, and pepper.      I fried the wings twice.  Yes!  Fry for about 6 minutes on each side, remove, then fry the whole batch a second time for about 5 - 10 minutes... to add to the crispiness!            I've been anxious to try this homemade spicy, sweet, and sour sauce.  In a food processor, I chopped nectarines, apricots, ginger, red pepper flakes, and raw honey.  I let the mix chill in the fridge for a few days.      I put abo
