Reply to LPT Request: How to keep a cleaner home by bschumm1

She wants to hear this.

Tell her you noticed, tell her your intentions to improve to meet her standard. She will tell you what she would like you to do. If you show the initiative first, without her asking She will be over the moon.

Also by asking her you get an idea of the degree if clean that matters to her.

Reply to TIFU by wearing a T-shirt to a restaurant by JustSpeaker208

I once went with my now common law and his parents to Arizona (we live in canada). They have a vacation house down there and go twice a year. His uncle, also has a vacation home down there in Scotsdale. (The rich part I didn't know)

While we are in Arizona, we get an invitation to go for pizza with his aunt and uncle (who i hadnt met yet). I'm used to 10-20°C so the 50°C of Arizona was killing me. For pizza, I thought short shorts, flip flops and a baggy graphic t-shirt would be a good outfit.

I should have taken cues from bfs mom and dad who wore nicer than their usual vacation clothes and my bf and his brother wore button up shirts (my bf always does so not weird for him)

We get to the restaurant and I knew I messed up. It was FANCY PIZZA. THE TYPE WHERE THEY HAVE THEIR MICHELLIN STARS ON THE WALL.

Uncle was in a suit and aunt was wearing a womens business suit.

I didn't realize we were meeting the rich family and I look homeless. We sit down and waiters in suits attend to us. His aunt slides an envelope across the table to my bf and says "sorry we were in Greece for your birthday, here's something to make up for it" $1000 check. (They have kids and grandkids, the nephews aren't replacement kids) meanwhile I've never seen that much money at one time (at the time)

Then uncle starts talking about his various businesses and investment accounts

I have since seen them many times in appropriate attire and they now I'm not a homeless person he found on the street but damn that was scary

Reply to LPT: Do your own taxes to save money (sometimes FREE!), protect your personal information and stop supporting those companies that are lobbying against your best interest. by CN2498T

I know most people are in the States, but if you are in canada, my grandmother and her friends that all retired from the CRA wrote a tax program called StudioTax. It's free to download and easy to use. It only charges you if your income is above $20,000 and if they do charge you, it's $16 and you can file up to 20 returns. The money goes to retired software developers, not a corporation.
