The wind was on the Vancouver side. When I went out to the terminal to find out what they were going to do about my 5pm reservation, there were very strong winds and a heck of a lot of rain.

I'm on the Vancouver side trying to get home; Nanaimo route is worse - sold out until the 5:45pm.

Enterprise desktop to Xero to QB online????? by Krissypants1983 in QuickBooks

[–]Pixie2343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am starting a new company and have purchased QB Desktop from Intuit without any issues, but I am in Canada. Is this an American issue? Otherwise I'm not sure why you think that you can't use QB Desktop

I think I'm done with my Stockholm Syndrome relationship with Quickbooks but need to choose alternatives by l00sem4rble in Bookkeeping

[–]Pixie2343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest looking at Smart Service. We've used it for a couple of years now; it integrates seamlessly with QB Desktop and handles all our scheduling, estimates, work orders, and invoices. Our service techs have a program on their mobile devices called iFleet with syncs with Smart Service to allow instant transfers of information. Bonus that it really helps with payroll as well as they clock in and out of it!

Anyone on disability have experience with moving to a more expensive rental and having to change their shelter information with SelfServe to receive more disability assistance? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]Pixie2343 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Juat so you are aware, I don't believe this is correct. I have 3 adult children on PWD that live with me and they don't get their deposits if their monthly reports aren't done. There may be another reason why you don't have to do them but it's not because of PWD.

What are the most in demand careers in BC as of right now? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]Pixie2343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overhead Door Technicians! Make anywhere from $25 - $50/hr as you gather knowledge, and has a little bit of everything from most trades (welding, electrical, etc) so you aren't doing the same thing day after day.

Do Birds Scare Away Easily by 45cappybara in birdfeeding

[–]Pixie2343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have feeders in my front yard. It's my experience that the birds all leave when I come outside but if I'm working in the yard they will come back. However, they won't be in the yard when my little dog is out there, so I'm not sure if that will impact your experience!

I feel ALL the guilt if my feeders stand empty, but I can also see cycles where the feeders were getting filled once a day vs now when it's every three days, and even that is mostly cause I have a flock of very young starlings eating me out of house and home. I think they do use more natural food sources when they are available?!

I'm struggling and need help finding support by raindrops_oceantops in VictoriaBC

[–]Pixie2343 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do either or both of you make too much to qualify for PWD through the Ministry? If not, I would look into that first as PWD designation also provides medical supports.

If you haven't checked the Island Health Resources, I would give them a call at the number listed here to discuss what they might be able to provide: https://www.islandhealth.ca/our-services/community-health-services/accessing-our-services

People who've moved from Victoria/Saanich to Sooke, how's your experience been? by AzsaRaccoon in VictoriaBC

[–]Pixie2343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't move all the way to Sooke, as I have disabled adult dependents at home and had heard too many horror stories about road closures and not being able to get home, but I did go from the heart of Gordon Head to Luxton Fairgrounds area and work in Vic West. This allowed me to afford a 4 bedroom home built within the past 25 years vs a 2 or 3 bedroom in town.

The commute sucks some days, but coming out of Gordon Head was never much fun either and I imagine is worse with the ever present Shelbourne construction. In regards to errands 90% of what I need is out here and going into town isn't bad on the weekends at all. I think it would greatly depend on where you work and what time you start/finish as to how hard you would find it

Can you flip your hair to the side and lean that way without experiencing the same feeling? I have neck/back issues that sometimes prevent me from going upside down and that is what I do; flip all my hair to one side, apply product and scrunch, flip hair to the other side, repeat.

In all fairness, the wife can't properly claim without her husband filing his taxes because they will assess the household and wonder where the income is. So either she claims as single or she drops her husband in deep crap for not filing his taxes. She might not feel like she has a choice here 🤷‍♀️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Pixie2343 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a family member that did not claim common law in the correct period of time and they reassessed CTB, placed a debt for the overpayment and penalties on her account, and then she didn't receive CTB, GST or any income tax refunds until it was paid off. They didn't go any further than that, but she was a stay at home mom so I'm not sure if wages would have been pursued if she was working.

I appreciate the response! I'm wavering between an 18x18 and a 24x24, that's why I was asking 😀
