A Saturday Afternoon Post
December 16, 2006
For those who checked my previous post's comments, I informed you all that things went well at the doctor's office on Thursday.
For those who didn't...well, there is the update.
Bascially, he is 99% sure that what happened to me on Monday was nothing more than a normal event as human's age. We agreed that keeping an eye for frequency of repeated occurances would be the next step, and if it happens again with some regularity and accompanying symptoms, immediate testing would be recommended.
I did end up telling Batgirl about the forthcoming doctor's visit on Wednesday night. She actually guessed at what the cause was, and took the news very calmly. I was glad because the last thing I wanted to do was scare her, but I didn't want to shock her with bad news had the exam turned that up.
So--the health is good. Bottom line is, though, I need to start exercising more.
- Among the most popular search words that bring readers here is "Amy Lawrence" of ESPN Radio-fame. I did a post about her this summer, where I basically ripped her for being a shitty sports radio personality. Why the searches? Well, when guys hear a chick on the radio talking sports, curiosity (and hope) she is hot is the first thing that comes to mind. Hence, the searchers are seeking photos of Amy to satisfy their need.
Well, Wednesday night, Batgirl and I had an impromptu dinner date at a local brew pub in town. Over her shoulder, I noticed a couple having drinks and dinner as well. The woman was quite the motor-mouth, and I could almost hear the conversation (from her end) rather clearly. Late in the night while Batgirl was in the bathroom, I was able to focus on what was being said and couldn't help but her the woman rattling off about ESPN Radio and naming personalities with regular programming. That's when it hit me: the voice, the look, the incessant babbling's subject matter. It had to be Amy Lawrence!
I wanted so badly to rescue the poor guy. I'm not sure if they were on some type of date, or they were just friends, or what. All I knew was, this guy looked like a soul who needed rescuing. Unfortunately, Batgirl stood in my way of going over to there table to confirm the woman was in fact Ms. Lawrence. I'm willing to bet it was. In any event, guys--she ain't worth the search. - Finally, last night, my pal Nern and his wife Angel had everyone over to celebrate his 30th. Just about everyone invited showed up. Everyone, that is, except one notable absentee: Master K. Although he RSVP'd he would come, he did an about face and called shortly before I arrived and said he'd skip because "Shep (his fiance) is sick and doesn't want me to go."
Needless to say, last night was the first time I saw a lot of people's true colors in regards to their feelings about Shep. It started with Master K's mother and step-father, then it surprised me to hear harsh words from MK's cousin--who has always been supportive of his cousin's decisions. I knew it was really bad when The Attorney spouted off about Master K's decision not to come because of Shep, and Attorney is another one of those guys that rarely has anything bad to say about anyone.
Bascially, the bottom line was nobody bought Shep was sick. Everyone has their reasons to believe that, and it certainly makes for an interesting situation next weekend. Master K will undoutbedly be stopping by my folks' place Christmas Eve with Shep by his side, and Batgirl (who can't stand Shep) will be there, as well as many others from the party her tore her up. The one comment that stood out came from Master K's cousin, who said to me,"This has got to stop. Something needs to be done about this (the marriage)."
I'm not exactly 100% sure of what goes on between them, and what others know about the two's relationship, but it certainly brings up more about something I posted a couple months ago. If so many people see the same thing about a loved one's significant other, should somebody step up to the plate and voice the concern of the masses?
