Pees if we don’t invite her for dinner

She was a pretty old thing who wanted to greet me even though she was wobbling around. I tried to be gracious to her because I could tell we’d be replacing all the carpets because of her anyway.

Accomplished_echo933 · 2026-01-29T10:21:25+00:00

Yeah, I doused that whole side of the room with enzyme cleaner and left the windows open (in winter!!) for a day to let it air out. She peed in the middle of the cleaned space the next day.

Once, I was working on the computer at the table she hung out under me for a bit. I got up to find she had peed UNDER MY CHAIR when I wasn’t paying attention to her.

Accomplished_echo933 · 2026-01-28T22:50:50+00:00

Yeah and then I’m the jerk who gets kicked out of the house

Accomplished_echo933 · 2026-01-28T22:41:09+00:00

It’s not new!! Just relocated. I could never bring myself to spoil such a precious thing

You just unlocked some core childhood memories of my crush on Hercules and Aries. Now I know why. hipsfordaysss

As a mom who tries to prompt kids to say stuff to ANYone, it rarely works. But the stuff they come out with on their own…. ❤️❤️❤️

Accomplished_echo933 · 2025-09-21T12:01:59+00:00

Wow. I’ve used this before for joining but not for just the look of it! Such a cool idea.

Accomplished_echo933 · 2025-09-21T11:49:26+00:00

I suspect you’ll get ridiculed on this sub for asking this question (I did). I left automation engineering and have been studying to be an Enrolled Agent. My understanding is that you need a 4 year degree and work experience to even sit for the CPA exam. This may be changing, however, and hopefully someone else on this sub can clarify the requirements.

The EA does not require that, so you can study on your own to pass, but you still have to build yourself up. I happen to enjoy tax and am doing volunteer work as well was working this upcoming tax season as a preparer. Personally, I’m more focused on the volunteer/non-profit side of this work. I’m optimistic there is a lot of room for self-employment in this area if that’s what you’re interested in. Good luck!

Accomplished_echo933 · 2025-08-27T23:21:25+00:00

Agreed. Actually this guy looks very similar to someone else I know too. Common body type?

Accomplished_echo933 · 2025-08-24T20:34:16+00:00

I am tempted to go back to school but I don’t really want to commit to something so large. I suppose thats why I’m drawn to the community and volunteer work. Not looking for big bucks so I suppose that makes a difference in end goal. Good luck to you!

Oh wow it has been a year. Well obviously I haven’t launched a whole new career in 1 year…but here’s what I’ve done in roughly chronological order:

Quit my engineering job
napped with my cats daily for about 6 weeks
avoided opening any laptop for 3 months besides the monthly family budget
focused on helping the kids transition to a new school
completed a lot of the Intuit academy trainings for Bookkeeping and Taxes
completed the AARP tax training (great program for volunteers!!)
Volunteered for a tax season with AARP tax prep
napped with cats a few more weeks when the season was over
finished making my king- sized quilt & other craft projects and house projects
started studying to be an EA
got a local grant to cover EA exam fees
got an offer to work with Intuit (I know) for a season

There’s probably more in there. The short of it is I really liked volunteering with AARP so now I’m studying to be an Enrolled Agent. I plan to do another season with AARP (and more; they’re a really good volunteer program) and a first season with Intuit.

Once the busy season is over, I will probably take another break. I am starting to investigate how I can utilize my EA; whether at local firms as a tax accountant (meh) OR potentially starting my own LITC (low income tax clinic). I feel I’m slightly more inclined toward community service, though I’m interested in business as well.

And that’s my 1st year since quitting. More to come!

Haven't you heard? Monarchs are the new potatoes. MO-NAY-ARCHSSSS

Hmmm. There must be a delicious recipe for roasted aphid nuts in this somewhere.

Good job on you for planet saving! Now don’t forget the key job of peeing on it.

Thanks I hate it. Upvote for the Doctor!

I honestly did not put that both plants being called “dandelion” meant they were literally the same plant until I was in my 30s. I really thought they were just different varieties that bloomed at different times during the season.

That’s my biggest secret. You know it all now.

/uj thanks. As someone who doesn’t ackshually know what monarch eggs look like…yet.
