Did you know…

Under certain conditions, if you are self-employed and use part of your home to run your business, you can deduct a corresponding part of the operating costs of your home. For example, if your home office takes up 10% of your total floor space, you can deduct 10% of your home maintenance costs, such as heating, electricity, and cleaning materials.

Any expenses that are directly related to the business, such as supplies and travel, are also deductible. Your home office can be a segregated area, or a room in your home that is devoted entirely to your business.

Work from home and save!

Why do we allow stores to get away with this. It’s pretty simple, if I make a purchase from your store and then decide I’m not happy with it… as long as I return the item in the same condition I left your store with, give me back my $$!

This is total BS!

This was Monday’s pet peeve.

p.s. keep away from stores that will not allow you to make a return if you’re not happy. Like “Mariposa” in Center Mall Hamilton.

Here’s my pet peeve for this bitterly cold Monday. How do people move to a country, live in said country for a number of years and never learn the language? There should be some agreement that if you immigrate to a new country that you must attend language lessons for the language used in this new country you’ll be calling home.

I know for a fact that we have ESL classes here in Hamilton and I’m sure it is the same for the rest of the country.
Is this asking too freaking much?

Imagine working in a hospital where about 75% of all your patients hardly speak any English (some NONE at all). How are you supposed to help them? Hand gestures can only take you so far. Yea they (the patients) gets frustrated, angry and sometimes physical. Who’s fault is it that you never learned to speak English?
And don’t tell me that a new immigrant is too busy trying to find work to survive that they don’t have the time to go to the ESL classes… I’ll never buy that load of Crap.
