Here is a discussion on tipping. It wasn't as easy to find as I...

...imagined considering it's discussed here often.  

When you search always set the number of days to 300 or more. The results are listed with most recent at the top. Choosing your words matters and "all these words", "any of these words", and "exact phrase" matters too.  

Work with it some and you should get results. Frankly it takes practice.

Side question: when am I no longer a newbie?  ;)

Main question: do you tip?  if so, do you just include it in the envelope at the start and hope for the best or hold out and tip at the end?  Thanks for any advice!

Very funny.  Tried that and came up with nothing.

1. In the "search for" box, try more than one term: tips tipping  

2. In the drop down, choose "Any of these words" (rather than all or exact phrase).  

(Or search an exact phrase "tipping before" or "tipping before or after")

3. Expand the days to search in increments:
30 0; then try 100 30; then try 200 100; and so on.

What you will find is a difference of opinion but most leaning towards tip at the end

...What's the point of screwing around with 100 or 200?  If you initially make it 3000, you'll still go back 100 and 200 days.  You don't have to keep going back or delete the 3.  Come on, you're not a newbie!!

First, for this topic (tipping), I only want the most recent stuff anyway.  Second, a shorter search period is faster than a long period search (including the bandwidth).  Third, I don't want to burn out the TER servers on a Board search when they are urgently needed for Review searching.  Fourth, it's search typo protection, by which I mean that a typo can result in getting WAY too many hits or zero hits.  If the search strategy is clearly in error, searching a shorter time period will still show the error and you can correct it faster. Fifth, is bandwidth: I only want to download the 5 or 10 most recent and relevant posts and not get 800 pages of every post with "tip" in it going back to 2001. Sixth, there is NOOOOOOOO sixth.  

There are plenty of ways to search and everybody has their favorite strategy and approach.  

OP should pick up some search TIPS from me, you and the others and figure out what's best for them.

as for tipping, do so at the end of the date if you feel her service deserved it, at least on the first date.

A classy way of offering the tip is to have the bills in your pants pocket.  Just before the goodbye hug and kiss, reach down and palm the cash in your hand, then hug her.  As you back away, have your hand run down her arm and thence to her palm, where you then transfer the bills to her palm.

She will know exactly what is happening and will flash you a very nice smile

However, that has never happened to me, so I personally would not know what was happening.  I guess I've never met anyone as classy and smooth as you, MrFisher!! ::batting my eyes coquettishly::

LMAO!!
