About Pine County, MN

I hear this a lot. The world is to fast a pace. Then the people buy in some fancy resort town where there is something going on almost all day everyday.

If you need things more relaxed...think Askov Minnesota.

Askov, Minnesota offers what you need a t a very friendly slow pace. WE may not have everything, but a few miles away you can get the rest of what you need.

Get out of the hustle and bustle and come to Askov, Minnesota...

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.

I had a friend E-Mail me this the other day. I thought maybe others could use a bit of a pick me up.

An elderly man in a home care facility walked up to the pretty nurse attendant...

"Bet you can't tell me how old I am." he told her.

"I bet I can." she chided back.

"OK, then how old am I.'

She told the elderly man to drop his pants and she proceeded to fondle his jewels...

"You are 83." she told the man.

"Wow, your are right." he said. "You could tell that by fondling me?"

"No." said the nurse. "I knew because you told me Yesterday!"

I wonder if that would work for me?

Depends on where you go and what you do. A senior is either 55, or 62 or not until you are 65. I took a free class on aging so i may be able to relate more to the 'OLDER' than myself population.

It was very infomrative. I found out that I don't think I want to grow real old.

I think the best thing I got out of the class was the Senility Prayer.

Grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway.
The good fortune to Run into the people that I do...and
The eye sight to tell the difference.

Be kind to the older population and call someone you care about today!

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.
