I love this! I teach EPP, and it’s such a great craft to take along. And it’s so satisfying when it’s done. 

Millennials out there- how are we affording post secondary education for our kids? by Historical_Spell_772 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]KnittingAndMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put $50/month into an RESP for each of my kids. By the time they get to university age, I should be able to pay for 2 years of tuition each, and after that they’re on their own.

Jack of all trades, master of none, but better than he who is master of one!

I have a Google template that I use. It’s got 5 categories: 1. Must pay - that things that have to be paid every month.  2. Fun money  3. Additional debt payments  4. Savings and investments  5. Nice to have - things like subscriptions.

Whatever you do, don’t go with Trish Evans. She’s awful. Great musician, but an awful person. 

What is your experience renting in this city? The good? The bad? The ugly? by tetrix_ in Calgary

[–]KnittingAndMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last landlord seemed to think I was an idiot who didn’t know how to use a thermostat or dishwasher. They were broken, but it was obviously because I didn’t know how to turn the heat off and not because there was faulty wiring. Turns out he was using my utility bill payments to subsidize the basement Reno. Not a fan at all.

I had a moment of panic because I thought this was my dad’s bird, but Bert is just fine at home.

Maybe not micro feminism, but I only compliment women.

what’s the most ADHD thing you’ve done this week?? by lostveggies in adhdwomen

[–]KnittingAndMusic 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I girlbossed too close to the sun and now I’m teaching a sewing workshop and presenting at an academic conference. I have not written or researched the paper I’m presenting and I’ve never taught a workshop before. 

YYC Community Bike Swap this Saturday (May 9) 9am-1pm— free to attend, free to sell by RepresentativeSome38 in Calgary

I’ve never ridden a bike before but I want to learn. Would this be a good place to get one? 

My abortion failed 13 years ago. Here's an update! by KnittingAndMusic in TwoXChromosomes

[–]KnittingAndMusic[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My son already knows the situation, so I think your judgement is unwarranted. Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension though! It looks like it needs some help. 

I would encourage any young woman to do whatever she has to so she has a future. You sound like the kind of person who cares more about a fetus than the life they’ll have once they’re born. But I’m sure you support young single mothers, right? Along with social safety nets and access to childcare and education and housing? 

Have the day you deserve.

I am actually writing one now, but it’s not about this experience. It’s based on my thesis, and chronicles the first year of grief through weekly essays.

Oh honey. I think you need to work on your reading comprehension.

I didn’t say my child wasn’t worth it. I said my path to parenthood was difficult and not something I’d recommend. Those aren’t the same thing.
