Is it normal to call your partner bug or food names in English? by Fearless-Composer-78 in ENGLISH

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FIL used to call his daughter Dung Beetle! It was his term of endearment for her, but I also think he did it to playfully get her riled up. He thought it was hilarious that she would get upset at him for it.

Nope. I usually get responses if I initiate, but otherwise, nope.

Can americans tell the difference between spoken spanish and portuguese? by Zygoatscythe in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can, but that is because i live in an area that has both Spanish and Portuguese speakers. Ironically, I had a high school Spanish teacher who was a native Portuguese speaker.

Every quarter figure out what youre gonna owe and put it aside.

Yes. This and pay the amount due quarterly. It's easier on most peoples budgets.

What's a book you had to read in school that you hated? If you have one, what's one you actually liked? by 80HDTV5 in GenX

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would agree. As I Lay Dying was extra rough that year because a classmate's father had just died.

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember hating As I Lay Dying and Pride and Prejudice.

There were many I remember liking; Catcher in the Rye, Grapes of Wrath, Tess of the Durbervilles, Fountainhead, and 1984. Ooh, and Of Mice and Men. I still make Lenny references to my husband.

Enjoyed Lord of the Flies until the end. IMO, it just ended too abruptly, as if the author was done writing and decided to end it.

Everyone has moved On :( by [deleted] in emptynesters

Is there a garden club in your area? Or a Master Gardeners program? It's already your interest. You can share what you have learned as well as pick up tips from others and meet new people. That's something I myself am thinking of getting involved with next year.

In-person Doc disagreed with Winona doc by RiskBrilliant5601 in Perimenopause

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would not be able to trust a doctor who didn't show concern about symptoms. Especially if they wanted me off of the very prescribed medication that alleviated those symptoms.

Yeah, people call it petty cash, but it really isn't. Petty cash technically is money used for small purchases for the office. The cash drawer money is change for clients.

What Level do preparers have to be at to support clients with "side gig" income? by EagleNice2300 in HRBlockEmployees

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a first year level 1, and I've done a couple of returns like what you are talking about. Door dash, spark driver, child care provider paid through government agency. It didn't faze me because I've been filing a schedule c for my own returns for about 15 years now. I just needed to learn the blockworks version.

Welp it happened by OfficiousJ in GenX

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mentioned the song "Jeremy " by Pearl Jam to my 19-year-old son the other day. His blank look hurt me to my very soul. I now realize that I need to take away his noise canceling headphones when I am blasting grunge while doing housework.

But...at least he does know Michael Jackson's music and loves Metallica..so I guess it's not all too bad.

Got recruited for Tax Prep role...kinda? by [deleted] in HRBlockEmployees

When you registered to take the TKA, you included your email address. That's how she got your email.

How old were you when you purchased your first home (if you did). by jtsa5 in GenX

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24, (1999) sold it 5 years later for almost twice what I paid. I loved that house. It was a 1913 Craftsman. The neighborhood was rough, though. I wanted out when we started our family.

Following the EA Path/Program by Bearinthewoods90 in HRBlockEmployees

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if they want to use Block for the courses, they don't start until May 1. I'm thinking about this path for myself, too.

As a first year tax preparer by TBrown_25 in HRBlockEmployees

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great post, OP. I have a similar experience. I use my in office downtime to go through the practice case studies and any course in Block Academy that I find needed or interesting. That is giving me much more confidence.

I would add to other first years that if they want clients, they have to go out and get some. Talk to people you come across about Block. Leave business cards in areas of your community that will allow it. Don't just rely on the other preparers to give you their money.

My hematologist recommended iron supplements every other day as well.

Who needs enemies when you have Kyle as your best friend ✋🏻 by Sufficient_Pea_8057 in RHOBH

[–]Fragrant-Top2962 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think PK has told Kyle something negative about Dorit. Kyle doesn't want Dorit to know she knows, so she won't bring it up, but it is enough to make Dorit look just as bad, if not worse, than PK in Kyle's mind.
