This story is brilliant. It’s about a woman who is abandoned by her husband after 37 years of marriage — he’s taken a liking to his much younger secretary. He obtains a divorce and demands that his wife move out and leave him and his much younger lover the house.
But his dreams soon come crashing down. It turns out the wife prefers not to let this happen too painlessly for him…
When you finish reading this, like us, you will probably assume that it is a fictional story – but that certainly doesn’t take from how amusing it was to read! 🙂
37 years of marriage weren’t important for Jake when he decided to leave his wife for his much younger secretary. His new lover naturally insisted on living in his and Edith’s very expensive home. His lawyers won in the lawsuit and Jake was free to live in the house with his lover. He gave Edith three days to leave. On the first day she packed her stuff into box crates and suitcases. The second day the movers came to get her things. On the third day, she sat in the dinning-room for the last time. She had a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay.When she was done with lunch, she went into each and every room and placed a half-eaten shrimp shell soaked in caviar into the hollow of all of the curtain rods. Then she went back in the kitchen, cleaned it and left the house. Her husband and his new lover moved in and everything was great for the first several days.Gradually, a horrible smell began to spread around the house. It was unbearable- they first tried cleaning the house and airing it. They ensured that there aren’t any died rodents and washed the carpets. They had air fresheners everywhere.They even brought exterminators in order to set off gas canisters. They had to move out from the house for several days. They also replaced the wool carpeting, which was pretty expensive. But the smell remained and was getting worse.Their friends stopped coming by, and even their repairman couldn’t work anymore in the house. The maid quit.They were forced to move out the smell was so strong.They put the house for sale, but no buyers could be found, even after the price was cut on half.Their story spread around the city quick and even their local realtors avoided to return their calls. They were forced to take a huge loan from the bank to buy a new house.Edith called her ex-husband to ask him how the things were working out for him. He told her about his problems with the house. She listened and told him that she misses the house so bad that she would decrease her divorce settlement in exchange for taking the house back.He was thinking that fortune had smiled upon him and agreed to sell her the house for one tenth its value. He had only one condition: she needed to sign the papers that day. She agreed and the deed was done within one hour.One week later the two lovers watched with relief as the movers packing their things and taking them into their new house. INCLUDING THE CURTAIN RODS 🙂Please like and share this story on if you agree this woman was really clever!:)

There are some corners of the world which for some reason very few people ever think of moving to, despite their desire for a change of scenery. It’s there loss, because some of these places are truly incredible. All they really need to do is pack their suitcase, and they could find themselves in heaven on Earth.
Avarua, Cook Islands
dxnews
Located about 2,000 kilometres north east of New Zealand, the tropical beaches of Avarua are no less gorgeous than those of the Maldives or the Seychelles. But in contrast to the latter, you can rent an apartment here for just $130 a month. The island also attracts comparatively few tourists: around 100,000 foreigners visit every year, compared to the eight million who go to Hawaii. So you won’t have crowds of people spoiling your enjoyment of Avarua’s attractions — which include observing the population of whales, going for long relaxing walks, and enjoying the amazing scenery.
…So what’s the catch? Foreigners aren’t allowed to buy property on the island, although they can rent it for 60 years.
Český Krumlov, Czech Republic
worldofwanderlust
A fairy-tale town located in the Czech region of Bohemia. The entire place is like one big castle from the Middle Ages. All the streets are made of cobble stones. Regular trade fairs are held identical to the ones which took place during the Renaissance period, whilst there is also the incomparable Rose Festival once a year. Dinner for two will cost you just $20 here, whilst you can rent an apartment for $400 a month. The only challenge that will really confront you if you want to move here is the need to learn Czech!
Koh Thonsáy, Cambodia
krabisamui
This small island in southern Cambodia is a real paradise of jungles and beaches. Apart from a few fishermen and their families, practically no one lives here, so it’s possible to find accomodation for a ridiculously small amount of money. You can spend your time relaxing on the beach, or exploring the jungle caves. For $5, the fishermen will cook you a delicious meal made from freshly-caught crab. Other seafood products will cost you no more than $1-2 here. The one drawback is that the island’s beaches are not well-kept tourist spots, but essentially areas of wilderness infrequently taken over by wild dogs or other animals. A place for those who really want to get away from civilisation.
Guanajuato, Mexico
tagfly
Located right in the heart of Mexico, Guanajuato is a hotbed of culture. It’s possible to rent a very good apartment here for just $150-200 a month; a drink will cost you less than $1, whilst a ticket to the cinema just $3. Guanajuato is also home to the famous Cervantino art festival.
The Pearl Islands, Panama
pearlisland
An amazing archipelago lying thirty kilometres to the west of mainland Panama. A huge number of pearls were once mined there; at another time pirates used it as their hiding place. Now, it’s become a haven full of wonderful resorts used by the local population. You can rent a small house here by the sea for around $300 a month. The Pearl Islands are ideal for those who want to escape from the world. In terms of the scenery, it’s probably one of the most impressive places on the planet.
Agonda Beach, Goa, India
my-travel-world
The southern coast of Goa is a place where you can ride an elephant right by the beach. A bottle of wine costs around 50 cents; to get your haircut around 60, and to rent a holiday hut $120 a month. It’s also full of temples and great places to practice yoga. Seriously, what else do you need? This area of the country is fairly deserted, so the local inhabitants have no problem with tourists, in contrast to some other parts of India.
Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria
euroways
This little place is nestled in a valley in northern Bulgaria. Veliko Tarnovo is undoubtedly one of the most agreeable places on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, often called the Bulgarian Riviera. It’s as beautiful as France, but here a bottle of wine will cost you just 80 cents, whilst an apartment will cost $200 a month to rent. The population is just 200,000. The only downside is that the city’s infrastructure could do with some improvements.
Hồ Cốc, Vietnam
bitdealo
The south-east coast of Vietnam is famous for its 11,000 hectares of tropical forest. With its huge barrier reef, this is perhaps the best place in Asia to go diving. Even at the weekends it’s more or less free of tourists. You can find somewhere to live here for around $150-200 a month.
Ksamil Beach, Albania
gentlemint
The southern tip of Albania is an ideal place for those looking for the quiet life. It boasts a Mediterranean climate, a nearby national park, and local cuisine centred on olive oil, tangerines, and 30 different kinds of fish, whilst it’s cheaper to live here than in neigbouring Greece, Italy or even Croatia — a drink will cost you 90 cents, your average meal is around $6, whilst it’s around $100-120 a month to rent an apartment.
Las Trancas, Chile
westelkproject
In Las Trancas, you’ll find one of the most incredible mountain views in all of South America. You can go skiing here all year round, with accommodation costing around $300 a month. The richer tourists live on the mountain slopes themselves, whilst the more experienced visitors and locals prefer the countryside down below. The only potential downside (at least, for some) is that winter never gives way to another season.
Iris Grace Halmshaw is a 4-year-old girl from the U.K.
In December 2011, Iris was diagnosed with autism. She struggled with communication, expressing affection, and social interaction.
After her diagnosis, Iris’ parents looked for activities through which she could effectively express herself.
They also introduced a new friend into Iris’ life. In February 2014, they brought Thula the Maine Coone home, and it was the “beginning of a beautiful new friendship.”
With Thula around, Iris became more verbal and open.
Before Thula, Iris was extremely uncomfortable wearing clothes. With her new friend around, she began “wearing her clothes, sleeping better and communicating more.”
Thula is more than just a therapy cat, she’s Iris’ faithful best friend.
The pair are inseparable, as Thula stays by Iris’ side as much as possible.
One of Iris’ favorite activities is painting, and Thula is Iris’ assistant, sitting quietly while watching her work.
She chats with Thula about all sorts of things, even teaching her about sea creatures when Thula joins her for a bath.
Thula listens intently as Iris goes through the sea creatures one by one, waiting to get out of the bathtub until Iris is ready.
Despite her patience and good nature, Thula can be a bit mischievous like any other cat.
She was caught playing with one of Iris’ favorite paintbrushes one afternoon. “Anyone else would’ve been scolded for it, but Iris made an exception for her best friend.”
Thula even received a gold star from Iris’ special sticker collection.
Before Thula, Iris’ mother attempted to use the “gold star routine” to reward good behavior. Iris was horrified, though, when a gold star sticker would be removed from the paper. The stickers were stowed away in a safe place until one afternoon when Iris went in and pulled one off the paper, placing it on Thula’s forehead.
The pair does nearly everything together, and Thula is innately in tune to Iris’ emotions and needs.
They share a daily after-lunch nap…
…and they also go on bike rides together all the time.
At night, if Iris is restless, Thula is there to comfort her.
While Iris eats breakfast, Thula waits patiently in the paint room for her — knowing her place as Iris’ devoted friend and artist’s assistant.
They play hide-and-seek in the wood near their house…
…and Thula accompanies Iris on all of her backyard adventures.
Thula even helps Iris’ mother during their homeschooling sessions.
She joins in with every activity, helping keep Iris engaged. Here she plays along in the sand as Iris is encouraged to say the names of different creatures.
Thula plays along with Iris whether the Play-Doh is out…
…or the jewelry, which is one of Iris’ favorite toys.
Iris and Thula share a special bond, Thula giving undeniable love and loyalty to “her girl” and Iris loving her back just the same.
Iris now lives her life to the fullest, all because of Thula the cat… It’s amazing!
Watch Video:
This amazing bond has proved to be a living miracle for both Iris and Thula the cat!

To see Chicago in the evening from a height is a dream of any tourist. The restaurant on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Center offers a stunning view of the city and Lake Michigan.

World’s Most Paternal Cat Takes Care Of 7 Chihuahuas
he world recently got a lot more adorable. Eight more times adorable, to be exact.
Seven goofy chihuahuas, including little Yuta, Hana, Nami, Mocha, and Kuma, live with their human mom in Bangkok, Thailand. The canine family is comprised of five siblings and their Chi-Chi two parents. However, the chihuahuas as a whole live under the supervision of another family pet — Ritchie the cat. That’s right! Ritchie the cat plays father-figure to these seven tiny chihuahuas, and the bond between them is being documented on social media by their loving owner.
Whether they’re snuggling in bed, relaxing outside in the sun, or chilling peacefully on their favorite wooden bench, Richie is always by the pups’ side, keeping a close watch and letting them rest against his fluffy white-and-gray coat. Who says cats can’t be maternal… or in this case, paternal?!
Unsurprisingly, the internet is going crazy over this furry family that proves cats and dogs can indeed form an incredible bond.
Scroll down to meet Ritchie and his band of “kids” below…
These seven adorable chihuahuas live with their human mom in Bangkok, Thailand. But the identity of their caring “boss” is truly something special.
Over on the left is Ritchie — the gorgeous white and gray cat who acts as the father figure to these seven tiny canines.
Ever since Mom started uploading photos of their daily activities on social media, Ritchie and the Chi-Chis have been taking the internet by storm.
As you can see, Ritchie has formed a particularly close bond with the tiniest one of the bunch, Kuma.
Wherever Ritchie goes, Kuma follows. Eventually.
And he’s always there to provide a soft place on which the pups can rest their little heads.
Sweet dreams, you adorable family, you.
Ritchie makes such a good “boss dad.” If you agree, please SHARE this unlikely family with your friends on Facebook!
Meet Toffee — a very special cat to Reine and her entire family. Reine found Toffee under some rocks in front of her house during a storm in August of 2012. As soon as Toffee entered the family, they were in for a huge surprise — the family dog, Rufus, immediately adopted and began treating him as if he was her very own baby — going so far as to breastfeed and train him! (Rufus is a boy’s name, but she is in fact female!)
Just watch as these two cuddle, play and tease one another like only real family members could. They love each other so much, and Toffee has been so blessed to find the most perfect mother on the planet! See, dogs and cats can get along! Can you see Toffee’s canine-like mannerisms? Her Mama has rubbed off on her, for sure! Aww!!
