Who in their right mind would buy a home in a gated community in the first place? She also looks like a very HIGH maintenance woman to me. Good Luck though you're gonna need it!

    And here is yet another story of an American gold digging whore! God, you women never cease to amaze me. How the hell do you even sleep at night?

      You gotta be kiddin'. How could anyone think that this woman is looking for 'love'? She's looking for a sugar daddy to pay her bills, that's all. Sheesh! Anybody who contacts her better have plenty of disposable income and even more patience.

      Sometimes we call them golddiggers, sometimes we tell the truth and call them by other less polite names. This is a polite public form so I'll refrain.

      BUT. Doesn't this count as a form of prostitution? Just askin'.

        It's understated prostitution. Yup.

        She is a bit goldiggerish, is she not??

            an Honest man

            So the male's only required virtue be that he is willing to buy her house for nearly 3x market value. Sounds like she is a wonderful woman and making quite and example for her girls. I don't understand why so many women would defend her as a business woman trying a new angle. All I see is a prostitute in patent leather heals. And has it occured to anybody there is a reason she is striking out at all other dating options?

            My guess is that she didn't make the cut for Millionaire Matchmaker.

              R U Kidding me?

              I love it....PT Barnum knew what he was talking about when he said: "there's a sucker born every minute" ! That's all what this JAP is looking for. Even her own kids have figured out her scam.
              Guess who will be paying the bill for her daughters graduate school ? Not Mommy!!!

              Not to worry folks...she can just pass this whole charade off to a bad yeast infection. Hey "Deven",
              any rash, itch, burning or unusual discharge?
              If this "marketing genius" weighted 210 lb and looked like Roseanne Barr there wouldn't be any
              story anyway. I've dated women a lot better looking than that and they never asked me to buy their
              house. That's because they have integrity.

                Yes, I give her credit it is hard to find a man in that age range...however, I think she might have more luck if she changed her look. Her look is very plastic and fake. For one she should stay out of the sun and the tanning booths especially at her age, it makes her look older. Her blonde hair is too brassy, tone it down. Dont tweeze your brows so they disappear. And she looks like she is afraid to type that it might ruin her manicure and very posed and stiff so her fake boobs stick out.

                At 42 she needs to stop TRYING to look like she is 20. Not that she has to look frumpy but she should look more down to earth. I think she is turning men off. The article says she is teetering around the house in patent leather heels. Who does this?? This is a women who dresses up to go to the supermarket. Also that she has a white leather loveseat. Again, who has white leather in their living room? Is her bedroom all pink and frilly too like a girl's? I think if she looked more real and approachable, stopped tweezing her brows, tanning and looking like a guy might smudge her makeup or get self tanner on him if he kissed her, she might have better luck. I hope she takes this advice to heart. Also do not uproot your daughters overseas for a man. Again this proves she is very self absorbed and the man will not respect her for doing it.

                Maybe this will get her on The View or something. That might be what she is looking for more than a man!

                  Um, I am 42 and there is absolutely NO WAY I would ever do this. How embarassingly pathetic. Poor thing has no self-respect or self-esteem.

                  No wonder sexism still exists. It is women like these that give us (some of us are brainy you know) a bad name.

                  Lady, get a life.

                    If anybody knows her - please tell her to check this dude out — Claudio- I have a friend who somehow also got befriended by an Italian guy named Claudio who could only see her when he was flying in from Italy- well, not too hard to guess that there was no Italy, just a dude who could get away from his wife at those convenient out of the country business trips!!!!

                        "I'm struggling...I don't want to lose my house and I want to find somebody," said Trabosh, who changed her name in the ad to Traboscia to keep people from finding her in the phone book.

                        Ummmm.....ok, but we can find her *now*

                        *sigh* MSNBC is for sucks, i swear.

                        It's an interesting idea but it'll never fly, i don't know her position in life or what she does for a living but this really seems like whoring herself out to keep her comfortable lifestyle up and running.

                            Another American whore type tragedy sold as something 'cute', silly, innovative. Probably real leather and fake everything else including the professional 'look' and smile. Buyer beware.

                              Great deal. Buy the house and the blonde(?). A few years later she files, keeps the house and your dough.

                                I am concerned about her daughters. She has no idea what type of person will answer the add. If she had no children and wanted to do this to herself...well she is an adult.....but she has 2 daughters! I hope she will come to her senses and realize that she may be placing both of them in danger.

                                  I don't often read these types of stories but the headline caught my eye for some reason. I must say there are some talented writers out there. You had me laughing. It was like good against evil sometimes. I do think that this woman is feeding off of all the comments whether they are good or bad. She probably has financial troubles but more so a need for attention. It is obvious that she felt the need to have numerous things done to herself cosmetically probably because of low self esteem. Many of the comments were right on when they said she had a problem. Unfortunately, she is so consumed with her own self that she is not thinking about her children or other family members. Apparently somewhere along the line she didn't get the attention she needed. Hence the attention she is getting now. Everyone including myself is fulfilling her need. She is probably on such an attention high right now. I don't think she will sell the house. If she does maybe it will be to someone just like her so it may work for the both of them. How happy will she be in a year from now?

                                      What these people are doing by placing themselves in the line of distaster is not unsual. most people believe that love originates with humanity but, there is no truth in it. God is love, who gives us the ability to love one another. The worlds definition of LOVE is LUST. Most people are mates but matches. Love is a principle not a feeling because our feelings betray us. When we lust after each other it is purely emotional. The love that is not expressed here is the love that God only meant for a married man and woman. Not man and man or woman and woman. God said that man would think to change times and laws. God created man and woman then said be fruitful and multiply. We as created beings can not displace God's rules just because we say it to be. We did not create ourselves and we can't make it rain or keep the waters from running over the levees or tell a tornado you can't go out to play today or tell the sun not to shine or control a blizzard. People are looking for true love that only God can give. Even if you don't believe in the Creator God you will admit that, that there is a empty space in all of our hearts that no human can feel; this is why people are always looking for true love and never finding. They need to look into the Book of Life, the Bible.

And what in the world made her think that big cantaloupe size boob job would help? GAG! Boys, I just have one thing to say: RUN, FORREST, RUN!

                                          I am going to be watching this story very close. If it works for her I might try it myself.
                                          How's this:

                                          27' 1970's travel trailer & 61 year old man for sale to wealthy, good looking lady under 50.
                                          (pre-nup required)

                                          Any takers?
