  • Omg it must've been in the air last night. DH told me "it's all your fault, but it will be okay" and put his hand on my cheek. I asked him this morning what I did and he doesn't remember a thing. I guess I'll never know.
  • Hmm.. I've always filed with both turbotax and taxslayer and taxslayer has always given us a significant amount more. I guess I'll just stick with what I know! Thanks everyone! :)

  • @J&NL if it's just a simple return and you don't have a ton of deductions or claims, then Turbotax or whatever program is just fine.

    What is the best way to go about deciding whether to file married or separately? We got married in February last year.. Is it always a great idea to file together?

    Basically, yes, it's a good idea to file together unless you have a reason to think your spouse will have tax issues and you don't want to be linked to it. Your tax rate is better if you file together as well.


    Thanks for this!! My husband and I were discussing this last night.
  • Goodness. I just caught up on this thread and read all of the UO thread. Phew. And now I'll probably disappear for the rest of the day again, lol! Yesterday was my birthday, and tomorrow we are having some friends over so I've got a bunch of stuff to do around the house and food prep and whatnot. Plus, you know, a clingy toddler to manage, lol. <3 ladies, I hope everyone has a good day!
    Happy Birthday!!!!

    This child has changed her schedule to kick the shit out of me for about an hour when I lay down to try to go to sleep  :-w Don't make me come in there, baby!

    My lovely child has done the same thing. He kicks and flips so hard it feels like he's shaking my whole body! Not fun while trying to fall asleep

  • Ugh, I have to find a new accountant here to do my taxes. I make less than most of my colleagues, since I don't teach, and somehow, I'm paying 6 times as much. I was basically told my accountant sucks. hehehe.

    I have a question about filing taxes. We normally file through taxslayer and have always done pretty well with them but can anyone else recommend anything better to go through? Is it worth taking our W-2s to a place like H&R block and have them do it, even though we are only doing a simple return? 
    We always use Turbo Tax- quick and easy. Ours is super easy, one W2 and we rent our house, so I have everything done and filed in less than an hour.

    I had a dream that DH left me the other day which was distressing enough, let alone dying. Last night DH was laughing in his sleep. I hope he wasn't dreaming about me dying...
    DH laughs in his sleep a lot, too, when he's not mumbling incoherently.
    Yeah DH is weird in his sleep. He sleepwalks, sleep talks, and the other night he kept squeezing my stomach. This was the first time I heard him laughing and it was actually kinda creepy...
    I yell at my DH in my sleep a lot apparently, and have occasionally whacked him. Pent up anger methinks? At least he's a good sport about it and laughs and tells me about it when I'm awake.

    Another concert tonight. A friend of mine came over to help put up the Ikea closet he brought. He neglected to mention he was bringing his twin step daughters. I can't say much since he is helping DH with the closet (its just very tall, so, not a one person job). But still, I'm really terrible with other people's kids. Everyone keeps saying "oh, this is just practice." Well, I'm pretty sure I won't suddenly give birth to 5 year old twin girls, so, I don't think this is really practice. Also, they don't understand english and my icelandic isn't good enough and our poor cat is so terrorized. Am I really going to be a bad parent because I'm having trouble with other people's kids?

    ETA Also, I really want ice cream now. Like NOW, but, I'm not dumb enough to know I can get it out and expect not to share. Maybe if I knew they were coming and staying for 5 hours I wouldn't feel like a bad pre-parent?

  • DH took the leftovers I was going to eat for lunch to work with him. I knew I should've hid those farther back in the fridge!
  • I'm making a cake for my mom's birthday on Sunday and I think I ruined it.. X_X

  • Happy Birthday @ColleenSwerb! Also, post pictures of any ice cream you decide to make.
  • Oh I forgot to mention! BIL got me the Yonana's ice cream machine thing for my birthday!!!!

    Is it worth it? I want one, but seems like a lot of effort!

  • I really dislike the cost of fresh produce in the winter. I am loving strawberries right now but I hate how expensive they are in my area.

    Do you belong to SAMs or something like that? I find because of their buying power the winter is the only time their produce is cheaper than the store. (As long as you can eat it in bulk)

    If it's edible you should eat it and start fresh
    It looks super wonky but hopefully that's nothing a ton of frosting can't fix!

    Have any of y'all watched Bad Lip Readings in YouTube?? I found out about them over a year ago, and they're hilarious!! I had forgotten about them until this morning when my husband was on Buzzfeed and saw NFL Bad Lip Readings. Y'all have to watch them if you never have. =))
    I just watched the new one this morning! Hilarious :)
    The Rick Perry BLR is my all time favorite. DH and I are ALWAYS talking about a "real chicken, with hands", now.

    No but I should! I will see if I can talk DH into getting me a membership. I think $5/lb of strawberries is a little ridiculous.
  • I love the NFL bad lip reading. "Hey, I found fido! I found fido guys!"
