As tax season is in full swing, there are a lot of people who are struggling to figure out how to pay their tax bill. Each year there is the normal amount of people who cheat on their taxes and this year is no exception. Those who have decided to fudge on their tax bills may be in for a surprise. The IRS has programs that will allow others to cash in on those who are caught cheating.

The IRS has a program that allows people who snitch to get a percentage of any money recovered. Some informants have made a lot of money by turning in their companies or business associates. Some people feel that they are doing the right thing by turning in those who cheat. See the IRS site for more information on this subject.

I thought this was a nice pic of a castle.

The bad part would be climbing all those steps!!

As U.S. forces are operating in Iran and Afghanistan, they are using the latest technologies. One item they really like is unmanned aerial vehicles otherwise known as “drone airplanes”. The planes are versatile and are put to use in many ways. They can show enemy positions and also deliver bombs if necessary.

The Air Force uses two main types of drones that include the MQ-9 Reaper and the MQ-1 Predator. They are currently operating about 40 drones and have plans to increase that number over the next several years. The images taken by the planes can give commanders a better understanding of the country and how it operates.

There are a few times in life when you get to do something really special. I had this chance recently and I feel great about. It was for a program called birthday kids and it is special. The idea is that people buy birthday gifts for kids who may not get any otherwise. I liked the idea and immediately signed up. I started with one of my favorite sites for toys and its called loulouscorner.com.

I wanted to get something that I know every kid would love. That’s why the first thing I wanted to get was a stuffed animal from jellycat. They have some of the best animals available and the quality is top-notch. Since most kids take their animals to bed with them, I thought that getting them a nice warm blanket would be a good idea. When I saw the blankets by barefoot dreams, I knew I would have to have one of those as well.

Being as that I am also a practical person, I pondered the fact that many kids don’t have enough clothes to wear. I found some little shirts that were made by appaman that would be a great gift for any toddler. I think I made some great gift choices and I can’t wait to hear about the kids who get to enjoy them. There are times when I am proud to help out a neighbor and this is one of those times!!
