Congress recently passed an extension for the Homebuyer Tax Credit and expanded it.  Don’t be confused by the phrase “tax credit”.  While it is indeed a “tax credit” you can get the CASH back NOW when you buy a primary residence . . . it takes about 6 weeks for the Treasury Department to send you the check.  Read more here . . .

Recognizing the signs of a STROKE can save a life . . . perhaps one who is closest to you!  Thank you Cindee for sharing.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital – (at 6:00 PM Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this…

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the ’3′ steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(I.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ‘stick’ out his tongue.. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this message sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. 

I have done my part. Will you?

Please take the time to read this scam.  Watch the register while shopping.  These deluxe credit card machines make it easy for cash to be stolen via your credit card.  Thank you Rose for sharing.

THIS IS INTERESTING, CAN YOU IMAGINE AT XMAS WHEN EVERYONE IS IN A RUSH! 

It happened at Wal-Mart (Supercenter Store #1279, 10411 N Freeway 45, Houston, TX 77037 a month ago. I bought a bunch of stuff, over $150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier washanding me the bags.  I saw a cash-back of $40.  I told her I didn’t request a cash back & todelete it.  She said I’d have to take the $40 because she couldn’t delete it.  I told her to call a supervisor.  Supervisor came & said I’d have to take it.  I said NO!  Read more here . . .

Interest rates are about as low as they will go . . .  rates as low as 4.5% for government financing on a 30 year mortgage, and on a conventional loan the rates begin at 4.75%.  Interest rates change daily and sometimes more than once/day.  Check with your lender to see which way the market is heading and then determine if you want to lock in your rate or float the rate. Remember that the movement of interest rates by as little as ¼% can result in a monthly payment fluctuation of $100 or more depending on your loan amount.  So waiting for lower interest rates is probably not going to happen.  Buying a home now while the rates are at historic lows, property prices beginning to rise, and inventory at an all time high . . . NOW is your best bet to capitalize on a golden opportunity.  Remember, there’s never a bad time to buy, but there’s better.  That time is NOW, particularly when you factor in the recently extended and expanded tax credit . . . sending CASH back to home buyers.  By the way, it’s taking about 6 weeks for Uncle Sam to process your tax credit and issue a check to you.
