On Saturday, the weekend before last, I received a call from Dena asking if I would mind taking a ride with her out to Surry County, VA, which is about 60 to 70 miles from us in Virginia Beach. We needed to go out there and pack up all of her daughter’s stuff and help her get completely moved out of her apartment quickly. Her and her boyfriend of two years had an argument the night before and she went and stayed the night at her girlfriend’s place. When she came home in the morning, she came home to her boyfriend and some unknown girl in their bed. She showed great restraint and did not pound the girl’s face in, which I for one am pretty impressed with. She did however kick her boyfriend right in the crotch. There were words and he eventually left so that she could collect her things and get out. She was completely heartbroken and devastated to say the least.

Dena and I arrived (after like 23 hours, because Dena drives slower then the “where’s the beef” lady in the old Wendy’s commercials) and her boyfriend’s boss and his wife were on the scene and had helped her get all of her stuff out of the apartment and downstairs, which was a HUGE help. We worked quickly and got it all packed up, but we certainly were not going to leave without letting him know how f*cked up he was for what he did to her. Let this be a quick lesson to all my male readers - IF you are in a long term relationship and you do not want to be with the person anymore - break it off in the nicest possible way. Do not cheat. And NEVER put your girlfriend in a position where she will come home and see you with some other woman - NEVER EVER EVER!!! That image will be burned into her head forever and that is just about the cruelest thing you can do to someone - period.

So, every single light bulb was taken from the apartment so that he would have no light when he came home that evening. Every roll of toilet paper and all the paper towels were taken, so that he would have nothing to wipe his ass with. All his beer was poured out and so was all his shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and shaving cream. We shut off all the breakers and the water. We gathered all the framed pictures of them and ripped her out of them, and left the framed pictures of just him.  But here is the best thing EVER - they had bought one of those Craftmatic Adjustable beds together about four months earlier - the same bed she walked in on him and the other girl on - she wanted to destroy it, and rightly so…that was THEIR bed and he was a jerk, but we could not let her do that, you can’t do anything that he could take her to court for - no no no - so we put it in the up-most position and then “accidentally” packed the remote and took it back to Virginia Beach with us. I am betting he has been sleeping very comfortably since then!

Oh, and she is doing just fine now.  She is getting ready to move into her own place with a good friend and she is moving on!!!
