Thanks to whoever suggested Simpletax last year, much faster than doing it by pen/paper
ahhh yes taxes.
I've only done it with pen and paper once in my life. Since then I've been using a software called StudioTax which I found on CRA's website. The interface is hideous but it seems very comprehensive.
Once, my dad took mine to a tax office and I received barely anything back, while having to pay the accountant $20 to do the taxes. For that amount, I figured I should probably do everything myself from now on.

We got Tim Hortons coupons mailed to our home. I don't think I ever seen them do that ever. Competition works, huh?
Is that the dark roast coffee coupons? I was actually surprised seeing one yesterday

I hate being compared to Crapmondump...
They'll eventually force the gamers out, yes.
Are you contributing to your RRSP? Or are you just investing in sours and KFC?
I get coupons for Wendy's that I need to use. I just wish there was one nearby work
I have before but I don't have enough taxable income for RRSP's to matter this year
I always make sure to contribute to TFSA's though.
I have invested in sours though

You don't have enough for it to matter...? Well, I don't know your numbers personally, but in my mind, you should always contribute to RRSPs first to bring down the taxes you owe the gumment and if you get taxes back, you THEN put that into your TFSA. If you don't put anything into your RRSP, you're mostly likely going to owe something to them. I got money back because I contributed and my wife makes no income.I have before but I don't have enough taxable income for RRSP's to matter this year

Listen to ol Kuro you young pup!!! >:[
I can get away with it cause I got those huge tuition amounts to claim (and most of my money is tax free anyway).
I did make sure to contribute to RRSP's that one year it did make a difference though, when I was doing co-op a lot.

Nah not at all. Either you put money into your RRSP so the gumment gets it eventually, or you don't put any in and the gumment takes it in April every year.
Ah right right. Well, when you are flush one day with sours, be sure to set some aside to lower the tax you pay.

TFSA can be set up right from online banking sometimes and they're are a great way to save money long term especially if you put them into index or mutual funds. After putting money in, it's another barrier to accessing it. My index funds are generating about 10% interest per year.
I don't know if you can set up mutual funds online though. I would go to a person at the bank to talk about that to somebody personally. The person at the bank set me up a thing automatically investing $100 a month into my TFSA mutual funds.
The thing you gotta be careful about is that they (especially index funds) can be more volatile so you should be prepared to lose small amounts of money short term. Again, you should talk to somebody at the bank about your current situation/investment goals because they should be able to give you more personalized advice.
I think I need to start looking on this mutual funds. My money is just on the regular savings account (TFSA). It is earning an interest of 2-3% a year
That's quite good. I've seen GIC's that barely give that amount. At my bank (BMO) my savings account only gives a pitiful 0.4% per year. I don't rely on it besides to keep my "emergency funds" which I don't want to use but may require in a pinch.
There's already like, at least 2 other axe throwing places in TO. I know you probably want it all in one location, but...
Where/how to go snowboarding and/or skydiving in Toronto? Striking off bucket list
The Trump border shenanigans killed abosulety every desire to visit that country at this time.

I agree. Wife wants to go to NYC again. I'm not going there until they fix their shit.
...
Snowboarding IN Toronto...? No place i know of but you can go to Blue Mountain. Skydiving, I assume you mean real and not indoor? Pretty sure some places up North would offer it.
Same for the border bullshit. I say this as a white guy, too.
About snowboarding: Kelso/Glen Eden in Milton is worth checking out. Less than an hour drive from Toronto downtown.
I know there's also centennial park but that looks tiny.
I was thinking of going to New York but nope.

Hopefully, this Japanese curry I'm going to try and make will help fight the coldness.

Just prepped most of it. I didn't cook it just yet.
If it doesn't turn out like shit I'll take a pic.

Look on the bright side, Kuro. This is more than likely #TeamCold's last stand for the winter of 2016/2017.
If you survive this, you can calmly tell Jack Frost to GTFO until 2018.

Quiet you, I am trying to give him a sense of false hope.
Just don't tell him about the snow storm we have planned for April and he'll be fine.

I hate you all. I should punish you by making you eat this curry. I should've followed the recipe closer. I added too much water in but so far I'm not dead yet. Guess I'll have to try again to make it look good.
So what did you put inside? I've never made my own curry from scratch before.
Kuro Madoushi
Unconfirmed Member
Well, I didn't make the actual curry part from scratch though I was reading up on it and it didn't seem too hard. I just went for the Japanese curry packs since they do the same thing.
Carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, lean beef, onions, Japanese curry packets, salt, minced garlic, worchester sauce, apple sauce, and way too much water.
In hindsight,
Bigger cuts of beef
More beef
A cup less of water
One less carrot
One more potatoe
Maybe cook it a bit longer but had I used less water, it would've been better.
My wife liked it ok and we did finish it all but I think I could've done better. One leftover bowl left she'll have tomorrow with rice and I think that should work better.
Edit: also, fuckin farmers making me lose this hour of sleep...! MY BODY SAYS IT'S 10:45 NOT 11:45!
I usually use the Glico stuff. It turns out pretty well if I follow the directions exactly. I've never added much more ingredients than the meat, carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic they recommend. The only thing is sometimes I chop the potatoes too small and a bunch melts into the sauce.

I was going to ask if anyone was crazy enough to want to go to a 4 hour screening of a Japanese concert but it sold out.
Between this concert and SAO selling out 4 screenings, the GTA is anime crazy.

I was warned about th potatoes so I did cut them into quarters so no worry of melting.
I read that email address as epicstorm. I missed a few letters.

Yonge and Dundas?
Doesn't surprise me. I've only ever heard of one person going there with a tourist and that's it. I've never heard of any actual Torontonian wanting to go there.
...there is already a shopper's inside too....
