In Loving Memory of
Robinson “Robbie P. Murray
August 16, 1947
February 5, 2009

God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And whispered “Come to Me.”

And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly.
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating.
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us.
He only takes the best.

A little humor for those getting more mature

The Golden Years!
>
>LAUGH A LITTLE EVERY DAY....

>A row of bottles on my shelf
>Caused me to analyze myself.

>One yellow pill I have to pop
>Goes to my heart so it won't stop.

>A little white one that I take
>Goes to my hands so they won't shake.

>The blue ones that I use a lot
>Tell me I'm happy when I'm not.

>The purple pill goes to my brain
>And tells me that I have no pain.

>The capsules tell me not to wheeze
>Or cough or choke or even sneeze.

>The red ones, smallest of them all
>Go to my blood so I won't fall.

>The orange ones, very big and bright
>Prevent my leg cramps in the night.

>Such an array of brilliant pills
>Helping to cure all kinds of ills.

>But what I'd really like to know
>Is what tells each one where to go!
>
Remember! There's always a lot to be thankful.

I am sitting here now thinking, how nice it is
That wrinkles don't hurt.

The passing of Robbie Murray

The email it was short
About two sentences long
It is with great sadness
that I send this message to you all
Robbie has but days to live
Nielsens words turned on a switch
My mind saw pictures clear of
The dynamo with all his gear
Fire, fire and more fire clear
The accent of the ancient Scots
like rolling through a moor and down the glen
climbing to the rugged highlands and
languishing in a border shire and
spreading like a red wildfire
Aye lad Ochone agus Ochone O Mac

THE NEW DISTRIBUTION RULE FOR 2009

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

Minimum IRA Distributions (MRD)

Breaking news! Most seniors should know by now that a congressional amendment recently went into place allowing those over the age of 70 1/2 to waive taking those distributions (RMD) to be taxed from their IRA's. Caution though, it is only good for 2009. After that the amendment is set to expire unless its renewed for another year.

Waiver of 2009 Required Minimum Distributions

On Tuesday, December 23, 2008, President Bush signed into law H.R. 7327, the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, which waives the 2009 required minimum distribution (RMD) from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and plans, such as:

Traditional IRAs

Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs

Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRAs

Inherited IRAs, including inherited Roth IRAs

Defined Contribution Plans [such as 401(k), Profit Sharing, and Money Purchase plans]
403(b)(7) custodial accounts.

This means that if you are turning age 70½ in 2009, you are not required to begin taking the RMD from your retirement account in 2009. If you are over age 70½, you are not required to continue to take your RMD for 2009.

You may still choose to take a distribution, although it is not required. As a reminder, if you turned age 70½ during 2008, then you must continue to meet your RMD for 2008.

You have until April 1, 2009, to complete your RMD requirement. If you are over age 70½, you are also required to continue your RMD for 2008

Tax Time is here again!

As is the custom, The tax code has made multiple changes for 2008. As you hunt through all those papers you simply threw in a shoebox until the end of the year trying desperately to find that support information you need to take to the tax preparer or to enter into your tax software.You might be interested in viewing this link that will give you some of the more prominent code changes.

Don't be put off because you saw this persons commercial. There is lots of solid information to be had here. I hope you find them useful, I did.
