Bf and his friend parked their bikes at my condo while going to MTC. Maybe I’ll start a theatre district bike valet as my retirement job

I had to fly from Victoria BC to St John’s NL for work once and I think my math was that St John’s was closer to Morocco than Victoria by quite a bit.

I am a basic midwestern gay so cheering an LA team over Milwaukee feels wrong in my bones and yet such are the politics of today.

West Side Story. Every time you see a Jets v Sharks NHL score it will launch a 10 minute highlight reel in your head.

Making my Mom’s stuffing to take to Thanksgiving. I probably watched her make it 100 times but now I’m like

“wait Sage AND thyme? Or just poultry seasoning and sage?”

Also - how much stock did she use?

Oh well I know the point isn’t to replicate it exactly but to make something in the style of

BF took an old pair of my running shoes that I thought were worn out but he said “OMG this are the best running shoes I’ve ever used. Like running on pillows.”

Am I a shoe diva or have I discovered a secondary use market for old running shoes?

(Also it’s nice when the BF wears the same shoe size)

TurboTax missed half of the T slips for my Mom’s estate last year. I understand that was a CRA contributed issue rather than entirely a Turbo Tax issue. Also estate tax filings are way too hard - excuse me but why is this slip a final T1 thing and this other slip a T3 form? Grrrr.

Andrew McLaren @drewdles.bsky.social · 5d

I think the issue may have been a CRA posting issue. They definitely missed more than half of mine but I’ve got a complicated return & a few institutions that are perpetually late (including wealth simple investments who are always always always late with one of my T slips for some reason).

I tried using this when it first launched and it was janky and missed a bunch of my T slips. Maybe it got better? Anyway if CRA has all this data already (they do) why make me use a third party?

Andrew McLaren @drewdles.bsky.social · 5d

Exactly. Let me submit things you might not have like medical receipts or charitable donations or whatever but just do all the T slips for me!!!

OMG automatic tax filing for everyone plz!!!
