I talk things out with a therapist about once a month (more if there's shit going on) but I have to say, I have some of the best conversations with the guy that does my taxes. I saw him on Monday and the first thing he said to me was, "What was the worst thing that happened to you in 2025 and what was the best thing that happened to you in 2025?" He's going through all my forms and documents and I'm telling him about my life. Then he says, "You never sent back the questionnaire from the Christmas card I sent you." He and his family send Christmas cards every year but this year they included a couple of pre-stamped cards with the question "What is your favorite holiday memory"... something like that. I meant to fill one out but misplaced them. I know he must have sent hundreds if not thousands of these cards so for him to know that I didn't return mine was pretty impressive. He also has a soft spot for feral cats and consistently gets me around the same amount of money back on my tax return every year. He remembers the special little things I qualify for and is meticulous about counting them towards my return. So... if you're looking for a good tax man, check out Scott Bird at Tax-xpress. He's a good guy. You will get a hug. read more
