A new friend

So I made a new friend today. Her name is Sheryl. Wanna hear how we met? It's a GREAT story!

So Ben forwarded me some lame email this morning with a note that says "Read this my love...!!!!" And the email WAS really lame - some drivel about financial blessings when you give your all to someone else. Figures. Then I happened to glance at the "To" field on the email. And I noticed that there was another name listed: "doingarita." At first, I thought it said "doingrita" and I was a little irritated. But I was still irked that he called me AND another person "my love." So I emailed her.

Turns out "Rita" is really named Sheryl. She's 45, lives in Montana, and has been planning her marriage to Ben which was supposed to happen in the next few months, with a temple sealing in January. Awesome. Congrats! (this must be uttered with sarcastic enthusiasm.) I think Ben will be a little surprised when Sheryl tells him the wedding is off. Particularly when she mentions her new friend, Melissa, that lives in Utah. I only wish I could see his face.

Sheryl and I proceeded to chat for the next couple of hours. We became fast friends. :) We even discussed flying to Africa. I offered to hold him down while she kicks him, then we could trade off. But our plans are on hold, as neither of us owns a current passport. Alas.

In the meantime, I think Sheryl is really happy that I emailed her. I can't believe I did - that was a little bold, even for me. I've already reported Ben on the website, and Sheryl is doing the same. I'm considering setting up a profile just to warn women about him... I just wish I could do more.

Sheryl and I decided not to say anything for a week. We want to come up with a really clever way to reveal that we know about each other. You women are witty and clever... Any great ideas? I'll pick a winner by next Wednesday.

I had an idea, but I realized it was a little too naughty, even for you. :) Um... now I don't have any ideas. Maybe you should photoshop a picture of each of you together, and send it to him (saying, this is my new friend), and see what he says. :)

Oh my!

What a loser that man is.....

Just be careful of him. He could be a serial whatever.

I am loving Sheryl. She rocks. Two strong women like you should be able to do a lot of damage to a scum sucking pig like him. I'll keep thinking of revenge ideas and let you know when something wonderful hits.

This is the stuff that Dateline and 48 Hours is made of. What an arse! well, I'm glad that you found out this way instead of when you find out your bank account is cleared and he also has a wife in Montana who's bank account is cleared.

I now feel a greater resolve to get on the horn with Downtown and set this thing in motion.
