Happy anniversary. No you aren't hideous. Not by any stretch of the imagination. So stop saying that! That's an order boy!!
Also I've found that most sane people don't go out to the knee deep in kids restaurants on Fri and Sat nights. I know I try and avoid any "chain" restaurants on a weekend. Most restaurants are busier those days anyways and I'd rather have more personal service than one waiter trying to take care of 10 tables of people. The same goes for the bars. I have to really be in the mood to be around people to go out on a Friday or Saturday night. As for my tipping... I've tipped everything from .02 cents and note telling them my two cents to probably around %60 of the bill for really exceptional service. One of the restaurants my ex and I used to go into about every three weeks or so the wait staff would fight over us. They treated us well and I tipped extremely well.
I can really feel for you about having your income dependent on other people. I work solely on commission. It sucks. With the economy being what it has been my income has been down about 2/3rds from two years ago. Try to keep a household running with only %30 of your income.
Yeah, it's not the kids that fuck up my nights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and I hate being like this... but it's all the black people. No kidding. My numbers vary dramatically when I have a predominantly white crowd.

But yeah. Hopefully things are on the upswing.
