family: I CAN'T WAIT (life post)
- 12/18/17 11:07 AM
When we were kids, at some certain age, the I CAN'T WAIT manifested itself to us. It came when it comes perhaps hurried along by parents, other kids or our very own desires and likes stirring and making themselves known. It is not limited to anyone one thing this I CAN'T WAIT event. NO. It crosses-over into everything and travels all the way to the end with us
I CAN'T WAIT
1. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for Saturday mornings when all the cartoons would come out.
2. I couldn't wait to go out and play first to adventure and if there was other kids even better
3. Couldn't … (28 comments)

family: WENT WITH ANOTHER REALTOR?
- 08/15/16 12:25 AM
So how is everything going I asked my neighbor, who I have known for 8 years why is he selling his home. I got over the shock of seeing a For Sale sign on his front lawn one day and wondering why he didn't contact me? My wife, using her intuition said he probably owed a favor or had a friend and was obligated. After 30 days went by, I ran into my neighbor and we talked
SAD BUT TRUE
The main fact was that over the years, his income was declining until it reached the point where they started to struggle financially. Several weeks prior … (106 comments)

family: WHEN THE CLIENT IS FAMILY
- 05/18/15 10:25 AM
A family member bought another home and was able to not have to sell the current one so they now had a first-time rental on their hands. Good and happy for them. Building wealth while going about your life is a good feeling. Now, they needed help in renting. Enter me who does renting.
PRO vs OPINION
This applies to anyone who doesn't know or hasn't done something before working along side someone who has been there and done that. This relationship is not new but it continues to be controversial for the most part. Why is that? Maybe because when experience meets naivety, the two clash? … (13 comments)

family: WHEN WILL MEN COME BACK AGAIN? PEARLS SERIES new book release
- 04/01/15 04:01 AM
Well the book is here but the question still remains. WHEN WILL MEN COME BACK AGAIN? The rite of passage from young boyhood and forward..... has been interfered with and corrupted. Instead of leading young boys and males toward maturity, purpose and identity, a corruptible system had been substituted in that place. Why? How? and...finally When.... will these false behaviors stop?
WHEN WILL MEN COME BACK AGAIN?
A proven harmony followed by results exists when mankind correctly plays the coveted and essential part originally assigned. It is powered by a system that is love driven for all involved but only when obeyed and adhered to. … (7 comments)

family: DON'T MESS WITH SUCCESS THE McRIB SANDWICH STORY
- 07/21/14 06:58 AM
Decades ago, when I was raising my kids, one place that never needed to be brought up twice was if I said lets go to McDonald's. Not... lets go get something to eat. NO. That would bring up discussion about where to go and what people wanted and to get five people to agree where there would be a happy ending was the never-ending work of a parent. With McDonald's, everyone always seemed to be in no matter what
LESS RULES-MORE FOOD
Before we continue, when I was a teenager, I worked for McDonald's. I worked all the stations too. Back then, there was … (6 comments)

family: PEOPLE WHO ARE IN IT ONLY FOR THE MONEY
- 07/12/14 12:43 AM
You cant hide for too long about who you really are. Oh, we all have the ability to act, get away with, and impress a story or stage an act, but you cant keep it up. Time, will wear you down because trying to hide a motive is high maintenance. You see it is designed to tire you eventually revealing what is really going on. I have seen some very impressive shenanigans, but none make it past one year and quite a few get outed in shorter periods of time
YOUR FIRST LOVE?
I worked for two distinct individuals in my life time … (0 comments)

family: MAKING IT IS EASY KEEPING IT IS ANOTHER MATTER
- 04/05/14 03:44 AM
The title of the post was brought home up close and personal to many during this last brutal Real Estate crash. Everyone was able to purchase a home no exceptions and many dreams came true. It was the American Dream slowing down so you can hop on and ride along
NO GUARANTEES
Well we know that things happen. Jobs terminate, health acts up and miscellaneous kicks in supporting the premise of the "no guarantees in life" cliche. Getting started, a foothold and even a good job is not hard to do. What to do during and after remains challenging
RESPONSIBILITIES AFFECT OUR THINKING

family: HAVING A SEAT WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS
- 10/05/13 03:37 AM
We all remember the game of musical chairs. What joy and excitement. I remember when this was first introduced to me a child and I don't get things right away sometimes so I just went along with everyone standing up and marching around some chairs. Hey, marching as a kid is fun no matter what and the music helped. However, when it stopped and everyone sat down rather quickly, I just stood there
CRUSHED BEFORE WE GOT STARTED
I was out of the game. WHOA. My first thought is what game? I then had to leave the area and watch others and then I … (5 comments)

family: I BECAME A MALE RAPE COUNSELOR part four
- 09/24/13 01:31 AM
The subject is daunting but real and I recommend you visit the four part post if you haven't already. Trauma of any kind is no respecter of persons and people hurt all the same way...within and without and any help one can offer or render to another in need can go a long way toward recovery. Help is what we are all here for and none of us got to where we are without the help of another
HEALING CAN TAKE TIME
The calls would come in, the stories would break your heart, the victims would all handle the episodes differently: for example. … (13 comments)

family: I BECAME A MALE RAPE COUNSELOR part three
- 09/24/13 01:29 AM
I shared in parts one and two what it is like to volunteer and lend a hand in something that certainly requires help and no amount of training can prepare you for it. It is recommended that your read parts one and two. This part will focus on some things that I ran into during my volunteer work as a rape counselor and being on call 24/7 days a week for 2 years
EMERGENCY ROOM
I remember getting a call and they usually came in to me between 1- 3 am to report to the large public community hospital that was well known. … (2 comments)

family: I BECAME A MALE RAPE COUNSELOR part two
- 09/24/13 01:27 AM
In part one, I shared how I got started and why and then a little about the training and then what you run into. Very hard to put into words what takes place because this subject is something that is best explained while being lived. It is beyond words and feelings and when it is not, it is emotionally overwhelming and gut wrenching
REPRESSION OF THE RAPE IS WORSE
I would get calls usually in the wee hours of the morning between 1- 3 a.m. Nighttime's is when this type of activity surfaces more and that is just from what is reported. You … (0 comments)

family: I BECAME A MALE RAPE COUNSELOR part one
- 09/24/13 01:26 AM
I thought the word "MALE" rape counselor appropriate because it was unheard of when I did this back in the eighties. I was in Real Estate and thriving at the time. Money was coming in from three solid businesses and I could not spend it fast enough. Had the cars, the home, income property and the goodies and I seriously thought...How can I give back as a way of saying thank you so much for this success
HM-MM...WHAT'S THIS?
Well I heard they needed rape counselors badly for one of the cities I worked in and I inquired. The rape counseling services were … (6 comments)

family: MEN ARE YOU A MAN OR A MOUSE OR WORSE
- 06/12/13 11:14 PM
Men, yes I am talking to you and would like to point out a few things for you to consider. We have a tremendous responsibility part to play as we journey through the world.....to our selves, to our families and to each other. We wont be back this way again so why not reach for and practice optimum while here?
MAN
Our heritage is a long and rich one indeed. We started out as hunters and warriors in the truest sense of the word. We lived off the land and NO EXCUSES where allowed in our daily existence. You either performed … (6 comments)

family: GOING TO THE MOVIES... what happened?
- 01/11/13 11:13 PM
They continue to blow the concept of going to the movies away. For the middle, lower and senior class, it remains slightly out of reach especially in today's economic environment. But something else is missing. There is no memorable occasion associated with going to the movies. The fun, family, friends, the eating and snacking and the planting of ones self down for a few hours of pleasure is missing
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL DAY...sez mom
It is prudent to start that when I was growing up, at the movies they showed a newsreel of the day, a cartoon, a three stooges short and … (10 comments)

family: GETTING HOME PURCHASE AGREEMENTS SIGNED OUT OF THE COUNTRY
- 10/02/12 03:40 AM
I remember purchasing my first house. I had a young family and all the dreams and responsibilities that go with it. I was naive, inexperienced in life and making my way day by day. I was working for a property management firm and one of our clients said, the house is being vacated. Let me know if you have anyone who wants to buy it
WOW...HOW MUCH IS IT?
Well, as quick as lightning, I now go see this property that we have been renting out with the intent of purchasing it. It was located in a very prime area and the seller priced … (4 comments)

family: PARENTS NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED part 2
- 07/09/12 04:40 AM
In part 1, we explored the commitment of raising children and the things that can happen and usually happen when least expected and many times right under you very nose. Parenting is a very serious subject and should be visited in detail and at length. For now, a few short paragraphs via a post for your consideration
EATING & PLAYING
You got to check in on the kids even if they are in the other room eating or playing every once in a while for their sake and for your own sake. It only takes seconds for someone to have stuck … (2 comments)

family: REMEMBER WHEN PERSONAL LICENSE PLATES CAME OUT
- 04/16/12 07:25 AM
It was a revenue generator for the state plus it was fun and exciting to do. All the good names came out and that made others request their cute little titles too. Of course, in those days, it all had to be done via mail and you would have to snail mail back and forth to find out if your name was accepted
EVERYONE I WANTED WAS TAKEN
If and when you received confirmation, you couldn't wait for it to come in the mail. Now I was a johnny come lately on this and all ideas that I had that would please … (7 comments)

family: HAPPY EASTER SHOULD BE SUNG TO THE TUNE OF HAPPY BIRTHDAY
- 04/06/12 06:08 AM
Lets be clear about what day this is and why. It is to commemorate an event that to some people is a life changer. It also helps define and makes our daily existence less mysterious. A very unselfish act took place and was given willingly and generously for anyone that wants to partake of this Easter gift
I AM AN ODDBALL
I have learned something in my life time that has brought me great joy. It is so simple too. I celebrate the holidays every day within in myself because they are to my liking to do so. I am an oddball I … (2 comments)

family: SAFEWAY MARKET ARRESTS FAMILY SEPARATES CHILD FROM MOTHER
- 11/01/11 04:30 AM
I found this article of interest and was partially disturbed from it. First off, I do not have all the facts. Now, with that out of the way, a family of three; air force sergeant, wife and 3 year old go shopping at Safeway in Hawaii, eat a sandwich while strolling the isles, check-out, pay for $50 worth of food and forget the sandwiches....CRIMINALS
PEOPLE EAT WHILE SHOPPING
The first thing I thought of was how I have done the same thing a few times and I have seen others do it too. Some people snack while shopping. I always look … (8 comments)
