Tim's Story
Life
I have 2 daughters, both attending college 1, a Senior 1, a sophomore. My oldest wants to be a communications expert/lawyer and my youngest wants to be a psychiatrist. Maybe I can be her first patient.My kids and I get along pretty well now,I remember "the older I got, the smarter my parents became". Was married for 21 years---boy, I won't do that again! Funny, I was a Snap-on Tool Dealer for 19 years---boy, I won't do that again, either!! Some might say "midlife crisis" I say no more B.S. From now on it's gonna be Girlfriend, Hotrods, Toys and Fun---not nessecarly in that order. Recently bought a place in Mulino, glad to be out of the city. The country has it's learning curve though, Jack, the resident Toy Fox Terrier, decided to chase the "kittys-with-the-racingstripes" the other night. Man, he stinks. Skunk-proofing the place is a lot of work. Did you know that cows go into heat on a monthly basis? I didn't, they get really loud during this time, fortunatly this only lasts for about 36 hours. Got a new job too, I am now a National Commercial and Residential Mortgage Broke...Expand for more
r working for a gal that I have known for about 12 years at Island Financial Group Inc. Some of you may be getting my postcards---yea, that's me.
OK, that last post is about 4 years old, the daughters both have graduated one with her MBA, with honors, I might add. Still living in the country, raising cows & chickens and playing in the hills with Bob, the dog. We all know what happened to the mortgage / banking industry, damn! I had the commercial mortgage program working until all of the banks quit lending........and then I was stupid enough to go to work for Wells Fargo, at least I did learn a few useful things and meet a FEW good people there, too bad the pressure at Wells killed a couple of them..... The best professional thing that I have done recently is open Tigard Pawn 4 More in Tigard Oregon where I am "captian of my ship" again.....much better, I am not cut out to work for other people or big companys, they do not meet my expectations. We are almost a year old and things are going well, in a lot of aspects, we're ahead of the business plan. Here,I can actually help people.
