Or months, whenever this pops up as a related story. Le sigh.

Takes a long time and can be hard emotionally, it's expensive if you choose that route. Fertility treatments are emotionally grueling, take a long time and ARE expensive, without a guarantee. I will forever be grateful that we jumped off the medical train and adopted.

Trudeau and Obama have a dinner date this week, shoot an email and see if they'll talk about it. Although I just can't see anything that major and essential happening with the current crop of GOPs elected. You know, the family values people that hate families but love fetuses.

Self employed people can choose to pay into EI for a year before applying for leave, otherwise it’s on your own dime. EI is generally a payroll tax for all employees so it’s mostly self funded. It used to be called unemployment insurance. My sister is self employed and saved up two months of expenses on her own before…

If you built up enough hours over the past 6 months (I think), you can get parental leave even if you're part time in Canada. It's basically just like qualifying for EI.

It does cover it in Canada 🇨🇦 We got about ten months that Java and I could split how we wanted.

In Canada, it’s administered by Employment Insurance. You get the same benefits, and qualifications, as if you lost your job. Except that the company has to hold your job for you (or an equivalent). Roughly two months exclusively for the person who gives birth and another ten that can be split between both parents as…

Yeah, enjoy that daycare while it lasts.

Oh, lots of people thought it was icky and never bought into the idea that it was anything but arranged.

So, pretty hot then.

Our pm’s have not been ever note worthy in looks, during my life: Harper, Martin, Chretien, Campbell, Molroney, Turner (maybe?, bar is pretty low), Trudeau Sr., Clark....

That's sounds horrifying. I'm so sorry she and the rest of you had to go through that.

That seems low. I know of 3 that were in shows related to Gordon Ramsay, now these 3. The one guy who murdered his wife, then went on the run and killed himself in a Washington (?) state hotel room. I'm up to 7 and barely notice this stuff.

Perhaps he should get spending advice from MC Hammer.

My cousin has a joint HeandShe Lastname fb account, which mostly doesn't bug me anymore.... But he got his own account finally, and she hasn't changed the damn name on the one she's always used!!!! So, HeandShe talk to and tag He and it shouldn't, but does annoy me.

I wonder if that reference is more to the advertising/ newsletter stuff? Actual direct client/ vendor stuff, telecommuting (I had a remote job where my hours and requisitions were all email) and setting up meetings in person or even skype/FaceTime must still happen over email or (gasp!) voice. I’m not going to…

Been there, in the middle of all the colleges and universities for 30 years and nobody has done it before. Or, at least, haven't made the news.

Right? We have plenty of news outlets here reporting it. It actually happened Friday night and made my Saturday morning coffee exceedingly depressing. And the rest of Saturday with the updates.

The track is a squiggly Y shape, one side is luge, one bobsled, and they share the same bottom end. A gate separates the top legs.

Kevin is the dude. He's genuine, loves his family and friends, super loyal, yet still manages to have that college guy persona. To be 21 and a stand up person is the ultimate.
