Get an extension

Does tax season stress you out? If it does, I'm sure you're not alone. I know of many, many folks who claim it's additional work they really don't need and would rather avoid having to do.

I think sometimes even the best of us procrastinate till the last minute. You either have to get your taxes done on time or seek an extension somehow. To be honest, getting even a little extra time is a great relief. If you're in the US, you can file for an tax extension form 2010 online very easily.

Quite frankly, given the choice, an extension would be great because some of us are truly busy with 101 things on our plates and could really use the extra time to sift through the piles of documents and sort things out.

One of my girl friends is in the habit of procrastinating till the last minute and then in desperation, she solicits help from her kids to help her get through some of the paperwork. Not always a good idea, I don't think unless your kids are a little older and can be trusted to get it right but desperate times call for desperate measures especially when the deadline is drawing closer.

Long weekend

I can't believe we have a long weekend right here. The days seem to fly when you're not looking, and with such busy schedules, who has the time to look anyhow?

Since this long weekend has caught me offguard, we don't really have anything planned. We're probably just going to find a couple of places to pig out at and chill out at home, maybe do some online shopping!

Where does all this infectious waste go?

Have you ever wondered where waste from medical facilities end up? There's so much talk about being environmentally friendly and so on. Now we mustn't forget that medical waste is potentially infectious and need to be disposed of properly in order not to run the risk of causing harm to humans and other living creatures.

We would assume most of it comes from healthcare-related facilities but there are other not so obvious sources such as tattoo parlors, schools and even theme parks. Medical waste is bio hazardous waste that should be treated carefully so that they do not add to the pollution problems that already abound Mother Earth.

As part of the US environment protection program, there are solutions out there that we can safely rely on to ensure that this potentially bio hazardous waste is disposed of in a fashion that will not harm people or the environment. These solutions involve an environmentally friendly process of treating and disposing of such material through the use of an autoclave, or steam sterilization, to disinfect the waste.

You can't believe what a relief it is to know this. I'm sure you are too if the thought has ever struck you about stuff like this.

Stressful

Driving has become more of a health hazard than ever. It's gotten to the point where if you don't pay full attention to traffic turning out of side roads, or crossing over to the opposite side of the road, then you could be in some serious trouble.

It's very stressful to be on guard all the time even when you're on the highway minding your own business. I've had huge 18 wheelers tailgate me in broad daylight on the slow lane! There are all sorts on the roads these days.  If I had a choice, I would stay off the roads altogether. Seriously.

Just regular stuff

I will be honest, when we eat out, there are only a few restaurants that we patronize. Not that we're not adventurous but there are some restaurants, very popular ones too I might add, that we eat at once and never go back.

Take New York, New York and Delicious, for instance. They're always packed. We went there once, stood in line and waited like idiots. And the food is, shall I say, regular stuff that I cook at home all the time.

Their food may be a novelty to those who are unfamiliar with Western food so they can't tell how stuff is supposed to taste or if it's even authentic. So they're prepared to fork out big bucks to be seen dining at a Western restaurant.

Us? We want something different when we eat out, a new taste, a new twist to the same old, same old, not something that I can easily whip up at home. Well, the food at these places is everyday stuff to us - the pies, pastas, pizzas - and my kids say I make it much tastier. So there!
