CURTAIN RODS

On the first day, she sadly packed her belongings

into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; she put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar,and a bottle of spring-water.

When she'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain rods.

She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

On the fourth day, the husband came back with

his new girlfriend, and at first all was bliss.

Then, slowly, the house began to smell.

They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked!

People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit.

Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stinky house.

Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls.

Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

Then the ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be

willing to reduce he r divorce settlement in exchange for having the house.

Knowing she could have no idea how bad the smell really was, he agreed on a price that was only 1/10 th of what the house had been worth ... but only if she would sign the papers that very day.

She agreed, and within two hours his lawyers delivered the completed paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home ......

and to spite the ex-wife, they even took the the curtain rods!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

Right now on 12-11-2008 at 6:38 P.M. my husband has a show going on the television that I can not see but I can hear called, "Smoking Guns World's Dumbest Meltdowns." This show is about the meltdowns of celebrities for various reasons. They have already done the Brittney Spears head shaving, crotch showing meltdown that we all have been pretty must forced to know about in today's media. But the one that I am writing about just upsets me soooo!!!

It is about Heather Mills. You know Heather, the gal that was married to Beatle Paul McCartney? They were showing bits and pieces of various interviews and talk shows in England and here in the U.S.A. about their over publicized divorce and the impending settlement she was to receive. At the end of this segment on her they show her bawling her eyes out over the fact she only received 50 million dollars, and this is what provoked  little old  me from Westwood to write this post.

I cannot believe the injustice here.

Can you imagine how horrible it had to be? To be married to Paul McCartney?  The utter SHAME that must have been for her. All the publicity that went along with it? And what about that wedding huh? pretty shabby. And then the gifts that she received through this union. Now I am not one to say that I KNOW what those gifts were. But someone like Paul McCartney they were probably a pitiful diamond or two, (ring, bracelets, anklets), and perhaps a couple cars. She was probably FORCED to be driven around in Limo's and probably had to have someone go do her clothes shopping for her, and made her wear horrible, horrible clothing. She probably never got to fly first class, more like she had to deal with a personal "airplane"

And can you just imagine how awful and how much bullshit she had to put up with when it came to what home and what continent she would have to spend the night at?

And on top of that she had to deal with this for 3 years! 3 years!!!  I tell you! This poor woman had to go through this hell for 3 whole years and all she got was 50 million dollars in the divorce settlement.

Shit , The fucking AUDACITY of Paul McCartney to give her such a paltry settlement!
