I agree on the
past medical career... I think a few people tried to figure that one out. Tammi appears to have gone to TN by 1997-98 (I'm only basing this on the fact that Jack said they met 12 years ago and assuming they met in TN - big assumption). Does anyone have more info on this time period? Per what she says in her bio, I don't think she could have been working on any education before she moved to Arizona with the kids, that was pre 1996.
OTHER STUFF
Tammi divorced Facio in 1996 I believe, but I don't know when she went from LA (Louisianna) to AZ with her kids (my question above) nor when exactly she then went to TN.
I see why another poster wanted to look again at that recipe site. Tammi claims in the profile "I started cooking at the age of 6 years old. I made up my own recipes with things I found in the cubbard and fed my sisters, cause my mother wouldn't wake up!"

But she was not the oldest child. The oldest girl was born in 1968, the next in 1970. Tammi was born in 1972, and the last sister in 1976. So at 6 years old, her sisters were 2, 8 , and 10.
