I am a left leaning Canadian so y'all can talk to me all day about social spending by the government. But I also get to be mad at my government because I am an environmentalist too. There is always a good reason to be mad at the government. It's what bonds us.
Work put out appetizers and then busted out a sundae bar. I had some chips and guac but I'm too full for ice cream. Chose the wrong day to eat a big lunch.

UO: It's weird to try to get a significant refund. I totally get that if things go unexpectedly it's more fun to find out you're getting money than that you owe it, but I know people who over-withhold on purpose to get a refund. That's just giving an interest-free loan to the government all year, when you could be using or investing the money yourself.
juliayadda, I'm extremely left leaning so I'm all about the socialism too. (Obviously just financially.) I lived in a country with universal healthcare and I'm appalled that the U.S. won't get with the program.
Also, I'm jealous that you ladies haven't noticed your Braxton Hicks because mine have been so painful this go around. And I get them every day. Every 15 minutes... Every afternoon/evening.

Dude, yes to all of it. My husband does not get it. I forbid him to try to withhold more. He can barely live off his paychecks. I was po'd at the idea of him leaning into my paychecks just so he can see a nice refund in a year. Nope. That's just plain dumb.

Same here! Also the reason we don't pay the IRS until 4/15. Don't want them to have it any sooner. My H and I had ours set so we didn't owe and we got almost nothing back. Then he had to go and moonlight a ton the second half of 2015 and first half of 2016 and screw us up, but we owed them big time instead of getting a refund, so that was okay with me.

Mine felt like cramps the first time around.
I had one bout of them a few weeks ago that I felt crampy with. I only realized I've been having them more often while texting with OSW yesterday because they're exactly as she was described was happening to her.

Mine feel like the tightness of BH with the painful cramps in the back. Very very uncool.
I try to over-withhold to make up for my H's share and sometimes it works out pretty well and sometimes it doesn't. So unpredictable. And according to his shitty accountant we've been doing it all wrong (never mind that we were following his advice) so maybe we can get it figured out better, with a new accountant.

Your accountant should definitely be able to figure it out, unless you have a variable income. My FIL is a CPA and told us what to do to break even and it worked.

H's income does vary and his business has gone through some changes in the past few years so it has been hard to predict. The accountant only does H's business taxes but he sucks so we're looking for a new one.

My first dog ate a half cup of uncooked white rice which I left on the counter (in the bag) because silly me didn't consider it food. She did.
Also I will take all the good jelly beans except the black ones. I love the popcorn ones.
I always want a refund. It's nearly impossible to find a liquid place to invest with a good interest rate anyway for the couple thousand we're talking about. My ex and I wound up owing 10k one year and had to make payments for three years. The peace of mind of knowing that isn't going to happen again is worth the possible loss of tens of dollars in interest.

MH fell asleep an hour ago on the couch and I tried to wake him up but he ignored me. I guess I'll just fend for myself for dinner...which is fine. He wanted steak and I'm not feeling it so chicken nuggets it is! (Knowing him, he'll wake the second I start cooking).
