Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Smonster, that's wonderful!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My dad just called me to tell me he's going to the hospital because he's having chest pain (he's actually calling the ambulance instead of driving himself).

And it occurred to me that it's been so long since he's had any heart problems that I'm no longer blase about it. For a long period, his twice-a-year hospital jaunts were stressful but pretty much routine, and they didn't freak me out so much as make me wonder "Well, what NOW?"

But it's been 3 or 4 years, I think, and in the interim, 2 of his brothers have died, and he's 70 now, and I'm -- not freaked out, but worried.

But he sounded fine (which I know is no guarantee of anything other than maybe a career in radio), and the pain only started today (unlike his usual M.O. of waiting a few days before going to the hospital), and he's actually called the ambulance instead of driving himself.

So that's all in the "good" column. But I'm still worried.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And I remember when M and I got together, I really *did* like just chatting a bit with him whenever we were both online, because I wanted to know more about him. So I'm guessing if that's not the case for you with this guy, he's probably not someone you're all that interested in. Uh, not that that conversation is any easier to have...

Yeah. I'm figuring I'll go on a second date with him, since everyone is telling me not to judge too quickly, but so far, I'm just not seeing much there.

I hope everything is OK, Steph.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Being concerned is totally legit, Steph. I hope you get some calming news soon. For you and for your dad.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am so pleased he isn't driving himself!

My doctor said that she knew so many patients who would drive themselves and says that driving around emergency rooms can be the most dangerous place to drive in an entire city.
