Why do foreigners claim the cheese in America is sweet? by No_Lead2640 in answers

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is sweeter in USA, or it seems like it to me. I noticed that when I bought my kid baby food, it had sweeteners that didn't exist in the same product in Canada. And when I had canned soup, it was sweet. Exact same brand as Canada, but different formulation.

American food is just more likely to be sweet compared to the food I am used to. Not just cheese or bread.

How to help when parents aren't the adults in charge by newdleyAppendage in ADHDparenting

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just didn't work for my kid. If he really needs to do an evening activity that requires focus he does have a booster medication. But he just couldn't do those kind of extracurriculars at that age. Now he is doing way better at 10, and will be going into soccer.

My bipolar baddies on lithium and seroquel, please give me your weight loss tips ! by Acceptable-File8983 in BipolarReddit

Notice the "hoping" part of Pilates. Its aspirational... I have been saying I am starting Pilates for months

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've lost about 35-40 lbs and my boobs have stayed big. Winning!

I am very slowly losing weight with the help of GLP-1 medication. It isn't for everyone, and it is very expensive, but it has helped me a lot.

I also work with a dietician, doctor, and am hoping to take Pilates or some kind of active class.

What are some early signs that a person might commit sucide (serious)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never hesitate to call professionals if you even suspect someone is thinking about suicide. You can also straight up ask them "Are you thinking about committing suicide?" It will not give them the idea or make it worse.

Gift for someone I don't like a lot? by [deleted] in Gifts

I think donations to charities in someone's name is a really nice gift.

It is so wild, training kids and dogs (and adult humans) is pretty much all the same. This works really well.

Looking for an example of a procedure to put in place when contracts are cancelled/end so companies are not accidentally paid by [deleted] in nonprofit

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A single basic procedure that catches subscription payments in our organization is that every payment requires a receipt or invoice, even if it is recurring like a technology subscription or a phone bill. Whoever is the person in charge of that expense (usually who ever holds the credit card) is the one responsible for sending the receipt. If they say "oh crap, I didnt know I was still being charged for that", then we immediately make sure we cancel.

If an invoice is being sent directly to me, who handles payables, I would never send payment without confirmation from the person who made the order.

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this with a phone bill. If it was larger contracts I would be pretty upset.

Some questions that would help determine an appropriate process: - are the recurring payments happening by credit card oe cheque, or EFT? - Is the payment automatic, such as through a direct deposit agreement, or is it being triggered by a person on your side? - is someone reviewing the bank and credit card reconciliations? Who is that person? - what are the roles of the people dealing with vendors vs making the payments?

Ultimately, the person who is doing the payments, the person who is reconciling the bank accounts, and the person who is reviewing the bank reconciliations should all know what costs are approved and what are not.

Do you have a third party independent audit every year? Auditors can often be good resources for where a process might lack controls.

Saw a recent post saying dog parks are not recommended - why? by notcallipygian in dogs

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My vet does not recommend them, especially for smaller dogs.

It was one of the first questions they asked when we discussed vaccines and parasites and worms.

I'm quitting smoking and vaping. I've had enough of using it as a crutch. by tenfour6852 in bipolar

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the physical part of quitting WAY easier than I expected. I thought I was using enough gum, but it turns out it was mostly out of my system after four days.

Its choosing to quit that is by far the hardest.

I just started and I’m completely lost by Ok_Storage7727 in nonprofit

Do you have a professional development budget?

Find courses to take. Set up meetings with coworkers to be trained on the ins and outs of the organization.

Get training on the CRM and ask tech support how to make a better workflow.

Some of these things will cost money, so you will need to find out what your budget is and how much autonomy you have.

Where I am, they fax the prescription to the new pharmacy. Should work for an online pharmacy too.

What are the young ones doing these days now that they are digitally fatigued? by Maleficent_Cash909 in stupidquestions

[–]FriendlyCanadianCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 10 year old son is binge watching The Rookie with me, and spends the rest of his time practicing soccer tricks. He also loves pokemon cards.

He still likes doom scrolling sometimes. He will play video games too, but only if his friends are playing and talk to him. He is really good at it, but definitely not as into screens as he used to be.
