Many people wait until the last minute to have their taxes done. For some it is because they don't want to pay in until the 15th.

Well, just because your have your taxes filled out before the 15th of April does not mean that you have to file them and send in the check.

I have had several people tell me that is why they wait until the last minute to have their taxes done. The problem with waiting, if you are missing something and have to look for it, you may not get filed on time. Then you need to do an extension and that also costs money.

Do yourself a favor and have your taxes done NOW! It will give you plenty of time to find all your info and you will find a tax preparer that isn't working on your return with only 2-3 hours of sleep for the past week or more.

Now it the best time to get on your tax return. Tax prepares like myself are not busy yet and so have plenty of time to go over your return.

Most of you also are not overly busy so it is a great way to fill the slack time productively.

I know, many of you are saying that you don't want to pay in before you have to. But, having your taxes prepared now does not mean you have to send them in until the April 15th deadline.

Save yourself the stress and possible mistakes by getting this unpopular task done ow.

This sounded to funny not to pass on.

Sven and Ole went into the garbage hauling business. All they had was a not so vintage 1949 ford pick-up truck.

They had the truck loaded full and heading to the dump. A policeman stopped them and said that there was papers and debris blowing off and if they didn't find a way to cover it up, they would be getting a ticket.

So, Ole jumps on top of the load and pread eagle to hold the gargabe on.

As they drove along they passed under a bridge. There were two people on the bridge and one remarked...

"Look there, some lady just through out a perfectly good Husband!"

Black Friday! It has ruined Thanksgiving. Even before the Thanks are given, even before the Turkey is out of the oven we have to be talking Christmas!

Radio Stations are playing Christmas music even on Thanksgiving. It would be so nice to finish one holiday before starting the next.

For my family...No Christmas talk is allowed until after the first round of leftovers are eaten. Then we draw names adn the free for all can begin!

I was sent this the other day and I got a kick out of it and thought some of you may also.
