Pass or FREE retest 527-9841 • 195 S. Main St. Opinions vary on how much to tip Dear Mary: A friend told me that you should subtract the tax from a restaurant bill before you calculate a 20 percent tip for the waiter. Is this an accepted practice? To me, it seems cheap (and not in a good way). I love your col- umn! -- Bruce W., e-mail Dear Bruce: The Emily Post Institute says to tip 15 to 20 percent pretax for excellent service in a sit- down restaurant. The Original Tip- ping Page (http://www.tipping.org) says that a tip never should be con- sidered "required" and that it is not a must. When you give a tip for excellent service, it should be based on the pretax amount. I can find no authority on tipping that suggests tipping on the full amount of the bill when it includes tax. Dear Mary: My 28-year-old daughter has a difficult time manag- ing her money. She lives on her own and pays rent, utilities and car insurance, and she has no debt except for a small education loan she took for a year's schooling. Eight years ago, she filed for bankrupt- cy. We bailed her out of debt before her bankruptcy. I recently received a call from a collec- tion agency looking for her. I'm not sure how to handle this. I don't feel it is my business, but I would like to refer her to a program that can get her back on track. Can you help? -- No'ne B., e- mail out there who buy up debts that have been written off or discharged through bank- ruptcy. Then they try to bully naive debtors into paying on obligations they no longer have. It's possi- ble they found your contact information on an old loan or credit card application that your daughter com- pleted. Mary Hunt Dear No'ne: I think most parents have a nat- ural desire to rescue their kids no matter their age. But that's not always wise, especially when the help is unsolicited. I wouldn't give much stock to that call you got. In fact, I would ignore it and request that they stop calling if it happens again. There are so many scam artists Everyday Cheapskate If you really believe that your daughter is falling back into a troublesome debt situation, let her initi- ate the conversation. This is something she's going to have to handle on her own, with your emotional sup- port. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Democrats to hold Open House Sunday The Democrats of Tehama County will be hold- ing an Open House on Sunday, Oct. 3, from 2-5 p.m. to celebrate the opening of their new Democ- ratic Headquarters at 347 Walnut Avenue, which is on the corner of Walnut and Washington. Congressional Candidate Jim Reed will be attending the event. The public is invited to come visit the new head- quarters, meet Reed, visit with local Democrats and enjoy free refreshments. Young professionals to gather Wednesday NEXT Tehama, an emerging group of young professionals will meet at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 6, at E’s Locker Room, 1075 Lake- side Drive in Red Bluff. The theme will be a celebration of why we choose to live in Tehama County — and what we can do to make it even better. The group is open to all and wel- comes people who just want to learn more. It is committed to com- munity development through social networking, operating under the belief that young professionals need an opportunity to meet in a fun and relaxed setting. There are no dues or speeches or obligations. Monthly gatherings occur on the first Wednesday of each month at a dif- ferent hotspot throughout the coun- ty. This loosely formed group is supporting the Expect More Tehama movement by collecting a college logo t-shirt for each and every eighth-grader in Tehama County. It expects to do more unique and creative projects as peo- ple bring ideas forth and network through the social gatherings. More information is available on the NEXT Tehama Facebook page.
