All Shook Up: With Too Much Salt

JoLynn — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 18:57:27 +0000

I'm wierd. I don't use salt. I never use it when I cook, unless a recipe calls for it (but then again I don't follow recipes often). I never add salt to my meal once it is on a plate. I don't know why, but I don't have the salt craving like most of the population. I also don't have high blood pressure.

"High-Pressure" Job? -Excerpts from Extension

JoLynn — Thu, 26 May 2011 22:02:52 +0000

Hypertension: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
Controlling your blood pressure may not be at the top of your to do list. However, according to heart health experts, it probably should be. Hypertension – or high blood pressure – is often called a ‘silent killer’ because it often doesn't have symptoms and many people don't even know they have it.

Montana Volunteers Rock! – Excerpts from Extension

JoLynn — Thu, 12 May 2011 21:44:07 +0000

Stop me before i volunteer again!!
I recently gave my friend a magnet that says “Stop me before I volunteer again” and was thinking I should get one for myself. If I’m not working, riding my horse, or playing with my dog, I’m usually volunteering somewhere. Walking dogs at Heart of the Valley, raising money for The National MS Society, teaching first aid classes for the Red Cross... Volunteering is just something that has always been a part of my life. The national volunteer rate went up to 26.8% in 2009, with 63.4 million volunteers donating approximately 8.1 billion hours of services across the country (volunteeringinamerica.gov). Apparently there are other people that feel the same way.

How To File an Extension For Your 2010 Taxes

XL Country — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 21:42:53 +0000

Because of Emancipation Day, a little known Washington D.C. holiday that this year is being celebrated on April 15, US taxpayers had until April 18 to file their taxes.

For some people that still won't be enough time to get all their papers in order. If you find yourself in that boat, you can file for an extension with the IRS.

It's important to remember that filing an extension doesn't extend the due date for any money you owe the IRS, and you will have to pay interest and possibly penalties on any money you send to the government after the April 18 deadline.

Read on for advice, from the IRS website, on who should and shouldn't file for an extension.
