You know you have epilepsy if...

[wichitarick]

Here is one that some of you may appreciate!
I have always had problems with phone company's BUT I "think" it is my mixed up brain now. This is the email, next to this one alerting me to this thread so it seems appropriate. very funny stuff.

My name is Richard
My bill is$ 66.12 cents
It was mailed possibly late from Eldorado Ks. on Saturday. I was
Hospitalized during this period .
I understand the line "The checks in the mail" BUT it is .
I am on ssdi and rely on this phone for my contact with via Christi
and my daughters school.
I did not understand your phone service not working this morning either?
Any cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated . Thanks
Richard

I THOUGHT THE BILL(S) WERE LATE AND BEING DISCONNECTED ?OOPS
THEIR REPLY

Hi ,
I am very sorry I did not get a chance to respond yesterday, we were having some issues as you noticed. However, after looking at your account, I see that we did receive a payment in the amount of $39.00 on the 11th, and you also still have some credit on your account, so please do not worry about any interruption of services. You said that your bill was for 66.12, but that was actually a negative 66.12, so a credit of 66.12. You currently have a balance of negative $105.12, and you are invoiced through march 4th, so that should really cover your march bill, april bill, and probably the May bill as well, though many people prefer to continue making one monthly payment so that they are always ahead (in the case of an unforseen event) but thats just up to you. Just make sure to keep an eye on the amount, and if you have any questions, please call or email.

Thanks again,
James

Hey better than being late

[valeriedl]

The best here right now is because of all the snow that we are getting, we haven't been able to get our mail every single day. Last week I think it only came 3 times. So it's ok if the company's bill is ok getting there late to us, but again because of the delivery of the mail with the snow, it isn't ok for the payment to get there late to them!

when you call your cell phone to see where you put it and your microwave/trash can starts ringing

when you wake up standing in your kitchen trying to put a gallon of chocolate milk in the silverware drawer

when you drop a shampoo bottle in the shower and your mom comes running in to make sure you're ok

when you've accidentally taken a sip out of your shampoo bottle (trust me, it didn't taste like vanilla mint tea)

you ask your dad what movie he is watching, and he gets mad and screams "I TOLD YOU LIKE 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 20 MINUTES, I AM LEGAND!"
usually i don't have these moments though.

[valeriedl]

Those are so ture crazy chick!

I don't know how many times I've dropped anything in the houe any where and someone will come running panicking making sure I'm not laying on the floor.

My husband gets mad because we will watch the same movie over and over again and I still don't know that we've watched it. TV show are the same too.

I can't get it to say in my head that Regan is dead either. Any time they talk about him on the news and say that whatever happened either before he passed away or after I didn't know he was dead. I tell him "I didn't know he was dead, when did he die?" My husband yells at me "We watched his funeral!"

Crazychick! I hear ya! I once wa painting my nails, zoned out or something and when I snapped back I was in the process of taking a sip of the nail polish remover! Thankfully I never actually got a mouthful but it was all over my lips and burned like crazy!

[McGill]

That was dangerous, Rae! Nail polish remover has LSD in it! You could have gotten "higher than a kite" if you sniffed it for any length of time! (Not said as a joke or to encourage anyone to do that!)

[Rae1889]

I totally didnt know that! I wont be doing that again. I guess thats why it says to use in a well ventilated area

[crazychick10793]

one i did today

when you put in your contacts then brush your teeth then put your glasses back on and wonder why your vision is so messed up

[McGill]

one i did today

when you put in your contacts then brush your teeth then put your glasses back on and wonder why your vision is so messed up

Is that what you'd call "double vision"?

[Rae1889]

one i did today

when you put in your contacts then brush your teeth then put your glasses back on and wonder why your vision is so messed up

Oh Man! done that too many times for my liking too. and a few times I was like, "Im just tired, It'll go away, and by then I am nauseas and When I get to wear I am going, I take them off to read and realize TADA vision is fine.

OH MAN! that just reminded me of the time (a few months ago i think) i randomly woke up in the middle of the night then went into the bathroom, took the nail polish remover out of the cabinet and started to drink. i think i was actually sleep walking?? cuz i came back to conciousness when i had a mouth full of nail polish remover. it tasted horrible but thats good. cuz it tasted so bad that it made me wake up all the way and spit it out w/out swallowing lol

u know u have epilepsy when: u pour a glass of juice set it down then cant find it, and while your looking around the house u find other full glasses of juice in random places
"sry for accusing u of drinking up all the juice hunny. turns out i poured it into 6 glasses and hid them from myself"

lol i do that all the time!

when you look down and realize you have a dog bone in your hand, then that you don't even have a dog and have no idea where it came from

[crazychick10793]

I once almost left the house without a shirt on. Good thing I caught my reflection in the mirror, and no one was home to see me walking around topless

lmao i almost walked out of the school locker room to my next class with my top pushed up around my stomach! thankfully some freshman in my class walked by and was like "hey, i didn't know you had a belly button ring!" that would have been embarassing!

You know you have epilepsy when:

1. Find yourself lying on the bathroom floor after falling off toilet after having a tonic clonic and find huge bruises once you are more with it but, still don't have idea on how you got them.
2. Warning to all - Are you sitting down? If so, please do so cos you might end up falling off your chair laughing with this one - Instead of phoning up my parents - while using my home phone phoned myself by dialing my number. Thought I was dialing my parents' number.
3. Due to forgetfulness due to meds you have to constantly look in the microwave before using it to make that their isn't any 'cups of cold tea, coffee or hot chocolate' cos you always forgetting to drink them and take them out of the microwave once they have heated up 1 to 5 times!!!
4. Forget to put tea bag into teapot - I know I love weak tea but, not that weak!!! Tea bag less tea is even too weak for me!!! Or forget to put kettle on and pour cold water into cup for coffee or teapot for tea (then after a while pour water from kettle into cup.
5. End up eating a bowl of shredded wheat for lunch cos you forgot to eat it for breakie (put in microwave so I could have shredded wheat with hot milk).
6. Forget things which you have just written/typed or done a few seconds/minutes ago.

I do this alot! with glasses of drinks, or can drinks. I'll end up pouring myself a glass, or opening a pop, then go do something. when I want to take a sip, i dont know where it went. then I eaither find it in the stupidest places. (in the coat closet) or knock it over trying to find it.

I lose glasses all the time.

it is when you wake up because your phone just rang, you realize you are sleep in a ditch on the side of the road from a seizure. and you are strangely ok with that.

[valeriedl]

If you make a pot of coffee (I have a perculator pot not a drip) and forget to plug it in. The coffee doen't taste really good, espically when you like really strong coffee like I do!

I've also "cooked" things in the micorwave, but forgot to turn it on. That doesn't taste too good either.

[crazychick10793]

when you wonder why your TV hasn't been working, then realize you unplugged it for something 2 weeks ago

yeah, that's me, although i don't know how much of that i can blame on epilepsy. maybe i'm just an idiot

Yea - isn't it strange how much of this stuff is OK with us after awhile. Like 'been there, done that', no big deal.
