I'm soooo jealous right now!

This one should have been for Pirate day:

Duct tape and fripples, not a bad combination.

You are a woman of many talents! If you find any more, please let us see them!

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend Malika :( I have to kinds of hugs for you. You can have them both now, or save one for later.

Thank you everyone!!! I spend wayyy too much time here, and I don't plans on cutting back anytime soon.

Jedi Kittens Strike Back

If you can names these guys, you're old!

I'm certain that one or more of the CERB ladies would be pleased to act as an ambassador and if any problem client were a CERB member, would be happy to make sure the Mod was made aware of him/her. With a separate system, the CERB ladies could still keep CERB as a private refuge away from clients, past and perhaps future employers. There's lots of free forum software out there, all it will take is one agency's volunteering to host it on their site, or for under $100 a year, set up a new web host/site specifically for this. Just my 2 cents.

I didn't realize how much water they retain!

I have a big heavy metal lamp next to mine, I may be able to fight them off for a minute or so.

Congratulations Lexy, keep 'em comin!

You too! He told me I was the only one! I'll hug everyone, but not so rough with the grab ass this time Castle.

You are right! I forgot about my diverse audience and deleted the Quebec info. for brevity. Here it is: Declared Tips Declared tips are the amount of tips that provincial law requires an employee to declare to his or her employer along with their controlled tips. In the province of Quebec, the Taxation Act provides specific guidance for employers in the hospitality sector whose employees carry out their duties in a regulated establishment. Employees working in a regulated establishment in the province of Quebec must declare their direct tips to their employer. For the purposes of the EIA, employees in the province of Quebec working in a regulated establishment will have the amount of their declared tips included in their insurable earnings along with their controlled tips. Currently, Quebec is the only province that has tax legislation requiring employees to declare their tips to their employer. Additional Comments: Thank you for the link! She is right when she discusses mandatory gratuities, which effectively form part of the price of the service, and as such, have GST/HST applied to the full amount. It's hard to make a judgment based on the cases she's seen - there are two sides to every story. It could be cases of lazy proprietors or those with inadequate bookkeeping, making it impossible to separate the comingled funds to determine what is the cost of the service and what is the tip, and the business owners are punished for this by having to pay the tax. It's very easy for a business owner to keep the tip separated from the service -- simply pay the server in cash for the tip portion at the end of the shift, as the CRA suggests. The credit card terminals even tally this for them automatically. The devil's always in the details!
