Anyway, it fell through. After being told , and I quote, "you are going to make a lot of money here", and doing all of my due diligence I sat back and waited. Waited for about 60 days, every once in a while touching base,(no pun intended), for the first order. Not the go ahead, as I already locked it up -or so I thought, but an order. Than in the eleventh hour I received a text message from the man. Lets just skip the content and go right to the end - "sorry for the bad news". I was crushed. Like, I contemplated whether I needed to talk to someone because of my depression. Could not even work - which made my problems even worse. Everything i touched turned to turd. Stepped in gum more times in the last couple of months than in my entire life before. Things around the house were breaking. My WP fantasy team was getting scored on by 150 points .., the Skins shit the bed. Had collection agencies calling. It was bad. I thought we were going to lose the house bad. People kept saying "when one door closes, another one opens". I felt like punching each one of them. I said enough of this. nobody died. Money isn't everything. Started just going back and trying to sell.
Than I reached out to a good friend - he had recently taken over his fathers F & I business. They are agents for Allstate dealer services, but also represent several other companies allowing them to either work with the "string of lights" dealerships or the big boys. I took a commissioned position with him. I am still selling chemicals, but my schedule is allowing me to get ramped up with the F&I company while i am getting paid from the slowly dying chemical job. The initial response from friends and friends of friends has been overwhelming. Already getting places signed up and have a laundry list of referrals. I think this will be a really good thing. Had I not been denied by the base I never would have reached out to my friend. I would have been perfectly content with what would have turned out to be a fraction of what I now have in front of me. So...i guess the whole when one door closes thing might just have some semblance of truth to it. Oh - I have not stepped in gum or dogshit, my Washer and Dishwasher are fixed, and my fantasy team and the Skins havent lost since!


I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows

Good stuff bro, some days I really feel the same. Money isn't everything but it is vital for sure.. Just gotta keep the grind going.

Mixed bag but end of the day good news:

Got a call at 8am from my 17yo daughter -
Dad the police are here and you gotta come home now.

Me. What happened i ask (as i feel like an impending heart attackis in progress )

Daughter - a car drove through our fence and is in our yard.

From that start: my dog got out and so i spent a day back and forth searching on a code red heat day for a dog that struggles on 80 degree days.

At 4 went into work and at 530 the good news that she was found. She is hurt but alive and we have her back so bottom line this makes it into the good news section.

Good Lord!Thankfully everything turned out for the best.


I feel for you but more for your daughter,I know her pain.I was 19 and the parents had gone away I had to work so I was alone in the house.Driver was speeding and left the road right thru the street sign ,our Flag pole,our front yard and stopped in our backyard tearing the living hell out of the lawn.This was mid 70's no cell phones,so the Police come and take the driver (DUI) and car but while filling out the report the Police had me sitting in the car with the two of them so I was in the back seat,yup, Mom and Dad came home just as I was in there signing off on the accident.My Mom later told me as they were driving up the only thing my Dad said was ...I am going to kill him!!!


Sorry for the rant, glade it all worked out.

Yes the driver was fine. She plowed through a street sign, 2 concrete posts, my fence and mailbox but she walked away with no scratches.
