I switched over to an investing TFSA but have been too scared to choose anything since the pandemic started. So it's literally sitting there doing nothing for me. Pretty silly.

Part of the trick is to put the tax refund they generate back into the RSP. The calculations around the TFSA are a bit more complicated, and a bit more long term. You don't get a tax refund, but you keep everything you take out. Hope it all goes well for you!Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-20765970650253827762020-01-18T23:40:22.452-08:002020-01-18T23:40:22.452-08:00I think they look very similar and maybe were rela...I think they look very similar and maybe were related originally.

I only ever did a basic blog template and didn't add anything to it, and I'm afraid to change it now. Some photos fail to load because for a while Blogger had a restriction on library size that I exceeded. So I put the photos on Fliker and then it disappeared. I still have the photos of course, and I suppose I could go back and fix the links, but why bother. Blog readership has essentially dropped off the face of the earth. I get only a fraction of the readers that I used to get. People are so busy now all they want to do is click like and scroll on. I've been putting more photos and a tiny story with some of them onto a Facebook page with other photography buddies, mostly local people that I actually know, which is nice. I come and go on Instagram, and lately it's been mostly go. <br />So if writing works, I'd encourage you to do more of it. Where, is the problem. If it's just for you, journaling is a thing that works for many people. If it's public and you want people to read it, well, that's a problem.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-24501003705010584392019-02-28T09:04:57.668-08:002019-02-28T09:04:57.668-08:00I have social anxiety so I have no mom friends.

I enjoy being a hermit but I remember the days when my kids were babies and would scream if I even thought of putting them down. It's exhausting and sweet all at the same time. I don't want to say it will get easier because, duh, you know that but maybe just a reminder wouldn't hurt?Brandy Wilcoxenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122750349062262051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-39350229123234453782018-11-30T18:20:03.200-08:002018-11-30T18:20:03.200-08:00My parents have his Christmas album...

Poor kiddo was understandably freaked out. I get that they might get frustrated with parents constantly reassuring kids, but that's kind of how it NEEDS to be. Jeez. Sorry you experienced that kind of thing as well. It's so unnecessary and upsetting.StephanieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990131434281226939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-6361378668139669392018-10-12T06:58:19.446-07:002018-10-12T06:58:19.446-07:00I had a similar incident with my daughter a couple...I had a similar incident with my daughter a couple years ago. She was always really good when it came time for her shots. All it took was walking her through what was going to happen. I told the nurse this and still when she came in with the needles another nurse followed her in and the just grabbed her and held her down. She went from a little nervous to pure terror in seconds and I was screaming. The nurses treated me like I was crazy. I was furious! Never went there again. People like to act like children can't understand the concept of consent and so don't get a say. Its crap.Brandy Wilcoxenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122750349062262051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098330902228203979.post-67775290316569725182018-09-02T21:05:59.963-07:002018-09-02T21:05:59.963-07:00Hi CarrieMarie!
