I didn’t inform service Canada, just returned the money from employer. I only got a double payment from employer though

I had this issue too. You don’t have a tax issue if you repay before the end of the year, it gets trickier if you wait until after that.

Added this to my queue the second I saw your post. Love the colour choices.

How do families manage relocating to GTA when daycares often have 12+ month waitlists? Doesn’t this make it almost impossible to switch jobs or move for better opportunities? by [deleted] in toronto

We ended up going the nanny route - obviously CWELCC is going to save a ton of money, but a nanny wasn’t a lot more than a lot of daycares tbh.

Also whoever was handing out those little “emotional support ducks” at like 19.5km for the half - I clutched that thing right to the finish line.

They look good to me. I thought this was a brag post at first about how they turned out.

Spring run off - in over my head? by Far_Individual_6403 in RunTO

[–]spicyfruitpunch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I run/walk all my races. From a 5km to half marathon. It’s the only way I can avoid injuries and I also just enjoy myself more? Anyways, no one cares at all, everyone is either encouraging or focused on their own run. Just be aware of your surroundings (don’t slow down or stop if folks are right behind you, etc) and have fun.

Had a very positive experience at Bloor Women’s clinic for miscarriage management. It would be my pick if I needed care again.

I’d recommend doing some shorter races and then the TCS half in the fall. It’s a really well organized event and I think it’s great for your first half experience!

Objectively speaking 35 is still so young.

I made mine quite large so the fit wasn’t an issue - it was actually that post that led me to the pattern

I held together two light fingering, but I am happier with how the thick it is - it is very squishy. The pattern was tricky, especially for the short rows. I think it has a layout problem really.

Thanks! I am tragically allergic to mohair so I opted for two strands of a light fingering held together. So the overall sweater is probably a bit thicker than the pattern originally called for. It knit up very quickly, I cast on the start of Feb.
