: About Me

Since 1981, involved in International Business with my wife Suzanne marketing consumer goods, classic cars, Hummers, limousines, airplanes and consultant to small business wishing to expand overseas. My languages are Polish, French and Spanish as you can see on nostalgia.lgausa.net. My education is a B.A in Liberal Arts and a Masters degree from Concordia University in Mequon, Wisconsin. I have taught Global Dimensions of Business for Concordia, dealing with cultural issues and export - import practices. I will be teaching in the fall for Phoenix University Global Management and International Business. Teaching is my cup of tea and with enthusiasm in the classroom, we have fun to learn about different cultures and have a pot luck at the end of the class. I started translating documents as a part time occupation. Very challenging and enjoyable.

Writing articles about trade issues, foreign investments. and foreign exchange are my specialty. For my hobbies, I enjoy classical music, going to concerts, travel to Europe, speak different languages, translate from English to French, from English to Spanish, read books, watch movies like
Chariots of fire, Sobibor, Joyeux Noel and The greatest game ever played. I paint pictures and enjoy the impressionists like Monet, Degas, Sisley, Van Gogh and his story that he lived in Belgium where he was a pastor.

I am also a jack of all trades, painting, carpentry and tiles are my favorite jobs to do. It helps me focus on what is important in life. Not what we want but what is needed. God bless y'a all. I am glad Georgia is on your mind. I see the sign everyday going up the mountain

Home & Garden > Home Repair (Other) Should you fund major home repairs with a second mortgage?

6 of 9

First of all you have to remember mortgage is from the French word "mort" meaning death or dead. When you are mortgaging your home, you are dying slowly to pay it off. A word of wisdom is the debtor is slave to the lender. It is not your house as the bank or mortgage company has the title. Over the years, I have added to my 150 years old farm house and remodeled from the roof top all the way down. It does look nice but the sad truth is I am now having trouble paying it. There should be an 11th commandment: "Thou shalt not borrow on a second mortgage". Period. Patience carries a lot of wait...
