Housewarming Gifts - 3 Ideas For the Newly Divorced Person

For the person setting up their new home after divorce, the choices are endless.  In most cases, the person only has a half a household so there will be a need for so much. 

1.  What person, having gone through divorce, is financially better off after the process. I suggest a pIggy bank and start the recipient off with enough money for a pizza and a pizza coupon.

2. For those hours that will now be available for the gym give a Nano ipod loaded with from a great list of music for divorces: 

3.  For those evenings when it would be nice to have a laugh or a tea give two or three romantic comedies (full of hope, I hope) When Harry Met Sally,Four Weddings and a Funeral, There’s Something About Mary, As Good As it Gets, A Fish Called Wanda , Moonstruck and Bridget Jones’s Diary .  If sad or sombre is better then give some divorce movies and a box of microwave popcorn.  Give The First Wives Club, Waiting to Exhale, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jerry Maquire and War of the Roses.

Zingers #72 - Is it a viewing or a showing?

When your real estate company calls to schedule a visit they may call it a viewing or a showing.  Showing is like showing off the good features of your house.  A viewing is like going to the funeral home the night before the ceremony.  Keep your showing alive with a clean house, no dead plants and no bad smells.   

Ensure that you have a showing and not a viewing
