Beyond the amusing marketing, I wish that every home for sale had this much info on it.

    Really well done!

    As the sign suggests..... we offer for sale, our wonderful, cozy, slightly-retro bungalow located just a stones throw from the heart of Portland, in Beaverton, Oregon.

    We did everything right. Married ten years. Two kids: one perfect boy, one bouncy, perfect baby girl. We had almost no debt outside of our cars and we bought a house.... but, as with many marriages, our story ends in divorce. I'm not sure how this all happened... but, all I can is that as soon as your husband/wife starts using new texts languages like :/, or starts talking to you like a college kid.... check your phone bill - you're probably going to be in for a surprise. For me that surprise came in the form of a 22 year old college student who likes yoga... and, other people's husbands.

    Well, I liked him too .... and I'm sure one day I'll like him again. lol - So, I guess I can't blame her too much, right?

    This whole thing happened so fast (started in March, 2012), and while it has been the darkest hours of my life so far, it has also been filled with wonderful friends, neighbors and family who have helped in so many ways. It's the death of my marriage and the family I had as I knew it... but, that's all. I know that sounds crazy, but at some point you have to put the brakes on and realize that worse things are happening to someone else right now as you're reading this. As my wise Grandmother always say's, "Jews in Auschwitz would love to have your problems....". And she's right (aren't Grandma's always right?). This isn't the worse that could happen to me. Sure I'm angry, and every bit as sad as the sign suggests... but I'm also equally grateful for the life I do have and I know that the best the way to more forward for all of us is to focus on that. Hence my quirky marketing For Sale By Owner plan. :)

    At my age the only way I'm hooking up with a 22 year old girl is with Chloroform and duct tape. :)

    If I was single I don't think I would want to date the type of person who would date someone almost twice their age.

    Yes, I've heard that yoga classes are very farty, not only because of the positions, but also because the class is filled with vegetarian bean and lentil-eating types.

    Good to know there is a technological solution. Should be required attire.

    That can easily be replaced by simply being rich.

    Well, I guess he does look thin...

    Indeed, rich works too.

    I know this is morbid, but when she died I remembered thinking to myself "well, she finally got her wish to be thin".

    I admire Anna Nicole Smith. She knew exactly what she was doing.

    And I've heard that J. Howard Marshall died laughing, because he knew what he was doing too. He just wanted to piss off the family members that were hungrily waiting for their inheritance.

    beans/lentils only cause gas when you aren't used to eating them. I've been 99% vegan for quite a while, I eat beans every day, and they don't cause me any gas at all. My stomach has the proper bacteria to handle them.

    For yoga, don't eat anything for a couple hours before class, not even coffee to avoid any embarrassing emissions... I love Yoga.
