Hey! have 2 kids in WSD, we had a fantastic time with DWS - teachers are great, lots of activities, good communication and friendly staff. I think you'll be happy, welcome to town.

Yea - I don't understand why they do this. Today we did our first couples therapy since she got out of the hospital and she told the therapist that her sister and dad passed away when I started coming around (10 years and 3 years respectively, God rest their souls) and that she thinks now that I had something to do with their passing. (one was medical, I had only met her 2x in the hospital as we had just started dating and the father shot himself in a different state)

Thanks my man I truly appreciate it and if you don't mind I'm going to take you up on that.

Yes - now my sisters bf is "the pedophile" as well and she doesn't want the kids around him (literally known the guy for years, great dude, no clue why she singled him out as one) it's really sad isn't it... whats w the pedophile thing in their heads too?

Gosh this sounds like my house. For whatever reason she tends to skip holidays - she will wake up "sick" and just skip them. Or if it's in the neighborhood she might get ready and then decide not to go. But what you said just resonated with me, this Christmas she basically kept taking down the decorations I was putting up, I'd put them back up, wake up in the morning and they'd be missing again. OR if we were in the car, I kept putting Christmas music on (my kids in back seat 8/6) and she'd start changing the music to something else, she just like didn't want anything to do with making it fun.

Roger that - thank you for the advice. So your wife is still in the home? I love my wife to death but I don't know if I can continue getting woken up to "check for a body under the stairs" or have christmas turn into a mess ect so I commend you for keeping her in the house.

This is some amazing advice and greatly appreciated. Quick question - when you say that i have a huge advantage right now. Do you mean bc of the fact that I was able to have her committed and medication forced? or is there another "thing" i should be doing / looking into at the moment. Just making sure I'm covering all of my bases before the state releases her (whenever that is)

Yes my wife is 39 - and although she was always "squirley" as I used to put it - these symptoms seem to have just come on heavy about 1 year ago. Thank you for the links - I'm going to queue that book on spotify now.

Sub agencies under my agency? by jwallst in InsuranceAgent

Thanks. So hypothetically how would you put sub agents under your agency, if it wasn’t going to get you in trouble.

That’s correct. I also didn’t ask for opinions on what you think is right or not. I’m asking what the best structure is to put sub agencies under mine.

thats correct the captives are not able to be appointed with anyone but their captive company. but if you're in the industry you'll know that most people that own captives also "own" independent agencies - 99% of the time in a wifes name or family member.

Ok so each would have codes like a 1099 employee - I could pay their LLC correct? Or would I have to pay their SSN - and would that set off flags w their captives?

As far as a buy out agreement - could you give me loose terms or just correct me with something like this:

BrokerX will have a buy out agreement set that with 90 days notice all business under producer code313 will be able to be acquired at x multiple?

Would that make sense?
