I’ll be putting up some more beach pictures today … But, saw this product and thought - what a great invention! At the beach, where there is about a mile of hot sandy white sand .. there are about 50 umbrellas blocking the heat and effects of our Sunny Manitoba Weather up here in the Great White North at Victoria Beach area …

I normally try to leave my clients out of this blog .. but something happened today that, in my opinion, makes a good learning example of what NOT to do - when filing Goods and Services Tax (GST) Returns. In my client’s case, the company is a monthly filer.

For monthly GST filers, the return for the current month has to be filed by the end of the following month. It’s pretty much the same for quarterly GST filers, where the return for the 3 months of the last fiscal quarter is due by the end of the following month. Canada Revenue sends GST registrants preprinted forms with the preprinted period dates and due date usually, just prior to the end of the current month - so you will have the form to use for the next month when it is due.

I recently picked up a new monthly account and my client asked me the following two questions ..

(1) What do you need to get each month?
(2) What do I get back from you each month?

I pretty much explained it to be similar to what you will read below the fold. If this type of stuff interests you, you can hit MORE to continue .. or go to the next post upwards!

Geez .. It’s been up on the PetLvr Community Calendar for a year now …

I bought myself a birthday present last weekend in anticipation! Don’t worry - I sent myself a FREE PETLVR E-GREETING CARD

July 11th … another year already? Awww. the years seem to go quite fast since I’ve been counting backwards since my 33rd birthday .. but, it sure feels good to be 23 again! :p So, I thought I would just play some appropriate songs today.

Arrogant Worms - The Happy Birthday Song

The Beatles - Happy Birthday

Uriah Heep - The Magician’s Birthday

Of course .. it wouldn’t be the same for me to post songs without my favorite inspirational song ..

Baz Luhrmann - Everybody’s Free To Wear Sunscreen

I won’t be posting anywhere on my blogs today, in celebration of this momentus and monumental event and day in history.

From Scope System’s ANYDAY IN HISTORY Script

UPDATE: Thanks Joe!

You might have noticed that this site is monetized to defray some of the hosting costs of all my blogs. As I mentioned in an earlier post .. you may now advertise on this site in the form of Text Link Ads. I should note that the link in the previous sentence is an affiliate link, and if you do sign up for the first time through this link, I may earn a small commission. I should also note that if you are a new client, you can receive $100.00 worth of FREE Text Link Ads by entering “new client” into the promotion code at their checkout. That means you can basically spend maybe $125 worth of advertising this month - and only pay $25! (You don’t have to spend it here - don’t worry!)

But if you do want to spend it here .. I am currently offering eight (8) spots for text link ads per month, and they will appear on every page in our sidebar, under the SPONSORS section. At this moment, there is one (1) available spot.

It sure took me a long time .. but that’s how it usually is with me. Something I can tolerate, and other things just start to bother me and I have to do something about it. Today, I am talking about those square box borders around all the images in this blog and even on the smilies!

I have been using Eudora 5.1 (free version) for the longest time. The copyright is 1991-2002 years. Before that, I was using Eudora 3.1 (free version) for the longest time before that!

This week, I upgraded to Eudora 7.1 (Free Version) … it’s slightly better than version 5.1 but, nothing new that makes me have to read any “README” files! I did have a paid “Spamnix” add-on to version 5.1 and now it’s been automatically converted to “JUNK” folder, instead of Spamnix Folder. I don’t mind!

BEFORE: I used to transfer my spam and junk and stuff that my Spamnix and filters did NOT catch to my TRASH .. periodically, when I empty my Spamnix and transfer everything into my trash, I used to just run the Spamnix LEARN feature .. I tell the software that everything in my TRASH is TRASH and it helps catch most future TRASH!
