I bought a skirt that came with a belt. I’ve long ago gotten rid of the skirt, but I’ve used that belt as my main belt ever since. That was probably 20 years ago. (The belt is a dark elastic fabric that adjusts, so no holes, no buckle poking things, no leather to get scuffed, etc.)

a very specific question to all Canadians.

Current situation , i need to refund signing bonus which was paid along with 3 days of work at the company, taxes are withheld obviously
When you refund a signing bonus do you
1- refund ALL of it even taxes Withheld ?
2- refund only the amount that was deposited in your account
3- mix between 1 and 2 refund more than was deposited but less than the whole amount ( taxes should be refunded to me next year)

My contract says 2 and they want to do 3 Help

Has anyone here bought new build townhouse before? I'm about to close in 2 weeks and the contract states that nothing can delay or stop the closing even if something needs repair. If something needs repair, they will fix it while we're living there. And we have warranty for everything for a year. So my question is, should I just save money and have an house inspector come until 3 months before the year is up?

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?

Am I being dumb here - just purchased a fridge from Lowes, delivery next week.

I am leaning toward keeping my order with Lowes … current fridge works, it is just old and shelves / ice maker is broken.
