Except for that part of me that keeps wondering how safe it is to clean things with ozone. Isn't ozone not so good to breathe?
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe it breaks down without getting into the air.

What's the point of being a one person corporation past tax savings?
I looked into it when I was taking my current job--a lot of people who work in what I do are contractors rather than employees--you end up making more money, usually, since with all the travel, getting paid by the hour (contractor) instead of salaried (employee) adds up. But I decided I'd rather have the insurance and some reliability.
But I did look into it, and becoming an LLC (as opposed to a fancier kind of corporation) didn't look hugely complicated. But I also didn't want to deal with the tax and accounting issues, on top of everything else.

Yes, the maintenance on an LLC is simpler. In CA there's an $800 annual fee for being an LLC.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Don't have a sofa. Have never bought one.
Me either. We came close last year, when The Girl got given some money for one - and then we realised we could never fit one through our front door, so that was that. Our new place has come with a faux-leather sofa and matching armchair. Both are comfier than the tiny sofabed we've been sitting on for years. So that's good.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I currently have the nearly 40yo Castro Convertible sofa that I inherited from my grandparents by way of my mother. It weighs 50 bazillion pounds, but it's holding up surprisingly well and will probably need eventual reupholstery, but I could believe that it's good for another 40.

I think since it's been a day and we don't have the Babyfras name, we need to pick one for her. (Which is what y'all did with Casper when her birth was announced without a name. And I found it hilarious and kinda touching to read the thread later.)
All I know is Sparky said the names they had lined up weren't in the top 1000. Which doesn't necessarily mean totally weird. But could! My pick is Louisa, because I love it and it's not in the top 1000.
