I caught your attempt at humor.

It was appreciated.

Apparently, you didn't catch mine.

Condoms as a male barrier to conception were developed before the 19th century and usually made of lamb intestine.

The most common material for condoms today is latex, a form of natural rubber.

A condom should not be used more than once.

Use a new one each time you have sex.

A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

Me personally I'm a magnum thin fan, can score them for $3.94 after tax. Was in a rush to an appointment and was out of rubbers a few months back though and had to settle for my second choice if magnum thins arent available, regular magnums at a truck stop and they were $6.88 for a three-pack after tax! Unreal but hey had to buy them. Anyone else been in a position like this and overpaid for rubbers? Whats the highest you've paid?

C92.

Turn them inside out! Probably why I pay so much for child support.

Good for you!

A lot of "excessive" tipping would really be required to move the customary amount upward.

A single instance, or two, or three will not do it.

I never tip! Only take the set amount with me and nothing else I won't leave my wallet in my car ect, the actual possibility that they remember this down they is slim, aside from a few providers most are not worth a tip and the ones that are I feel repeated business is their reward. Plus prices are high now just my two cents.

I am happy that you have adequate disposable dollars for your participation in the hobby.

Your statement that the other fellow's tip will drive up the prices you pay suggests otherwise.

The "newbie" member of this forum is entitled to make his own judgment about tipping.

He was there, he got what he got, and he tipped as he saw fit.

That's his prerogative.

I wasn't there, standing in his socks, so my comment on the amount of his tip would be presumptuous if not irrelevant.

The subject "newbie" didn't fall out of a tree because you judged his tip as excessive.

If you're not willing to help the newbie, the it behooves you to refrain from "burning his ass" under the guise of providing "constructive criticism".

If you're concerned that his tip is going to drive up your price, then you're not qualified to provide newbies with guidance or direction.

You may also wish to consider getting out of the hobby altogether if you can't afford it.

Try reading through the forums and get a little more knowledge to the hobby maybe you won't be paying out the ass for services not rendered your driving the prices up for other monger's who don't want to pay outrageous tips for newbie mistakes in the hobby. But don't blow my inbox up with your stupid messages if you can't take constructive criticism don't post your rookie mistakes.

If you haven't noticed, Americans are killing Americans now.
