Sometimes it's Better to Be Wrong

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a hypochondriac/paranoid person. But I'd like to point out that I'm also correct more than half the time. For example, when I was in college, I was a rower, and one November I noticed that my back was hurting really bad. It hurt for weeks, to the point where everyone was sick of hearing me complain, my coaches wouldn't let me row during that time, and finally they sent me to have it checked out. Oh yeah, it was fractured. So thanks everyone for telling me I was just being paranoid. You can really just kiss my butt.

You need another example? How about the time when my foot started hurting really bad for no reason? Again, I complained and no one believed me. Yeah, it was fractured. Need a non-medical example? How about at my wedding when I was getting ready to run out to the car with my new hubby. Without reason, I asked him if he had his wallet for the honeymoon. Random, I know, since he's never forgotten it before in his life. Yeah, he'd left it at the hotel where his parents were staying.

So, to bring a point to all this rambling, in my previous blog posting, I speculated that there was a convict near my house and that's why a helicopter was circling my neighborhood. I was totally joking but then decided to check some news websites. Thanks Fox news....

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Police are investigating after three attempted assaults on women in Alexandria over the weekend.
The first attack happened just after midnight Saturday. Police said a woman was walking in the area of Beauregard and King Street when a man grabbed her. The victim screamed and fought her attacker and the man fled the scene, police said.
The second attack happened just after 1 p.m. Saturday at a McDonalds at the intersection of Glebe Road and Mount Vernon Avenue.

Police said a man tried to push his way into a bathroom that a woman was using inside the McDonalds. He is described as a white Hispanic man. He was wearing a black jacket and black pants.
The third attack happened at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday near Armistead Boothe Park and the 500 block of Cameron Station Boulevard in Alexandria.
Police said a woman was attacked by a man who attempted to sexually assault her. The victim told police she managed to fight her attacker off.
Police are still investigating all three incidents. Authorities said they do not believe that any of the incidents are related.

Um, YEAH. I live a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Cameron Station. I'm going to go buy some mace.
