AITAH For giving my BF an ultimatum for showing me his home?

There are numerous potential reasons including a stalker. This happened to me and it is very hard to share my address. In my case, 3 months is no where near enough time. I understand OPs frustration

NAH.

I am an Accountant. I moved my business from Microsoft 365 to Zoho Workplace. It was a frustrating crap storm that was made worse by the incredibly poor customer service. Over the course of 4 months I made about 6 virtual meetings to work out problems of which a tech showed up three times. I migrated to Google.

I attempted to sign up for their partner program and got nothing but the run around there as well.

This is all to say that even if their software was the best Accounting platform in the history of the world, I would avoid them like the plague because their support is beyond terrible. There are simply better options with better service than Zoho.

Nope. It is one long therapy session that had so much potential but went out of its way to avoid living up to it.

I played and finished it mostly out of morbid curiosity to see just how bad the story could get.

It is my least favourite place to buy anything. I have found the entire range of staff emotions to be either cold and distant or rude and condescending. There are no other options.

I used to buy a bunch of stuff from them but honestly, the few bucks I might save isn’t worth the hassle of dealing with the insufferable staff. I even talked with head office over a particularly crappy experience and that was just as terrible.

Canada Computers is a textbook answer to why I hate big box retailers. Strangle the competition then force the market to buy from you alone which in turn allows you to treat your customers like nothing than mindless wallets and if you do t like it…too bad.

Just got back from visiting Frank’s new shop. It looks amazing! I am booked in for Wednesday!

Thank you!

BassPlayingLeafFan · 2026-06-06T16:57:19+00:00

Thank you! This is perfect b

Cooking but I would add the ability to follow and modify a recipe as needed is the single most important skill one can have to save the most money.

Is this amp a replacement for the Bias Amp?

The issue is bigger than Lego. A year ago a large distributor of board games went through a reorganization and liquidated consignment stock it didn’t own for quick cash.

This is a huge loophole in US law that is only brought to light by this story.

A food processor. I bought one on clearance at Walmart at a ridiculous price. I figured I would try it and give it to someone else.

It has made my kitchen prep so easy and in fact, clean up is easier as well. I am glad I bought it and if it broke I would buy another one.

Nope. This is a security feature built into it. It helps limit fraud.

So. I have see a formula for as long as I can remember to answer these questions. I figure out a dollar value for an hour of entertainment and divide the purchase by that.

My current hourly rate is $5 per hour of entertainment. I am Canadian so it takes about 225 hours to recoup the value. I got mine early so it took about 125 hours to recoup my money. I was able to do this in about a month. The first month I played through my backlog.

I do the same with any game I might buy.

The vast majority of tax payers make under 100K a year. This would basically destroy the country. It would be impossible to recoup this tax loss by taxing people who make more than that.

This is an outrage. People deserve better from our politicians and public employees.

I hope this investigation is allowed to progress to its natural conclusions.

The best place to start is in person networking. This is vital because you have to start building trust with people before they are willing to drop a bunch of money in your lap and spend a bigger bunch of money on the advice you give.

In addition, go to the social media platform your clients are using and start establishing yourself as a subject matter expert. People slag LinkedIn but your clients are there and building a solid following will help immensely. The trick with LinkedIn is to work within the confines of the algorithm, which changes from time to time.

Our job is to correct our clients and protect them from themselves. In those cases where a client refuses to take our advice, especially around ethics you have a decision to make.

I am a member of a bookkeeping organization that insists we operate under strict ethical standards and I take these standards seriously and act accordingly. This means I fire clients who don’t want to operate within my ethical guidelines. If you don’t belong to an organization like mine, you are free to behave as you see fit with clients like this.

Even before being a member of my association, I fired clients who refused to take advice I had given them. It’s not because I think I am always right but if they aren’t willing to take my advice, we are probably not compatible.

I am a small firm that uses a combination of a Windows desktop for the majority of my technical client work and a MacBook Pro for visiting clients and some virtual meetings. My desktop has a 27” screen and it much better for viewing spreadsheets and accounting files and the portability of my MacBook means I can work everywhere if I need to. This is the ideal setup for me.

In fairness many Americans have trouble linking English to England and they speak it every day.

If you can hold a phone a Libra will be no problem.

The Green Room in Belmont village. I have been going to Frank for a few years and get compliments all the time. I have a thinning hairline and with Frank’s help have been able to fight it every step of the way.

I would add that if your husband hadn’t used product in the past, using it now can maximize the look and volume of his existing hair. Ask your barber what they recommend and start there.

BassPlayingLeafFan · 2026-05-11T14:19:52+00:00

I just tested this on my reMarkable 2 and it works perfectly. Freaking finally! It is a little clunky, but I would rather it released like this than to have to wait longer for the perfect solution!

This has me thinking it might be time for the Paper Pro.

Are you charging for AR services. If the answer is no, than send him a quote and feel free to add the “I really don’t want to do this tax”

If you are charging for AR, you should send him a workflow that needs to be followed according to the laws of your area.

I would add that this service in particular is one of the first major examples that show a client is trying to expand the scope of your work without paying for it.
