ROFL! We were *just* searching for our nice, new, pretty red ... tablespoon. Yep, I threw it out when I emptied the container it was in. Just popped it back into the container, and tossed it in the trash.

It's a good thing we needed it like 2 hours later and were able to dig it out.

when you wear jean shorts, an old t-shirt, and dress shoes to the store because you can't find your other casual shoe :roflmao: happened to me. Who says I need to match for a 5 minute cheeto and soda run anyways?

Ugh, there was a great lightening storm a couple nights back. It didn't even occur to me that I might need to be careful with freaking lightening.
 
any engine that sounds like a bus gives your heart rate the oh-shit-I-missed-the-bus jolt

When you're out at the playground with your kids and family when suddenly an aura hits. There are no big trees...what to do? Two strollers are by the fence so you go sit behind them although there is also a pile of doggy doo. No time to move so you just hope you don't land in it!
 
You know you have epilepsy when...

Your friends start talking about something you did together last week and you have to ask them, "Did I have a good time?"

You're watching a baseball game and haven't a clue as to how it got to the bottom of the 3rd, two outs, bases loaded

You find keys all over the apartment, but none fit the lock on your storage shed

You start to tell someone something and the second thing you say to them is, "Did I tell you this already?"

Someone starts to tell you something and if they ask, "Did I tell you this already?", you have nooooooooooo idea

You can't remember if you slept last night

You email yourself every user name and password to every website you use and then forget the password to your email account

Simple math requires either counting on your fingers or the use of a calculator

You refuse to take anything that may cause dizziness because you live alone and you know that death by slipping in the shower will leave you looking like a prune and a hugh water bill for your heirs

You have to keep looking at the top of the page to remember how to spell "epilepsy"

Your friends start talking about something you did together last week...wait, did I tell you this already?

O.k., I know I'm probably becoming tedious, but I have never been able to see the humor in all of this. This post has opened the floodgates! So, here's a few more.

You know you have epilepsy when:

You name your brain so it doesn't seem like such a stranger

You think those seven-day pill box thing-ys are the greatest invention ever

You shiver and shake even when you're not cold

You have learned how to twitch in time to music
 
Sorry, folks, but I'm on a roll here!

You know you have epilepsy when it takes you ten minutes to remember how old you are, and you still get it wrong! (Of course, that could simply be denial.)

The Tom Waits song, "The Piano Has Been Drinking" makes perfect sense to you (for those of you who haven't heard it, I recommend you look it up on You Tube, especially when he performs it on the Letterman show and during the interview tries to sell his son for a drink. Now how the heck do I remember that, but have no idea how old I am?)

(My goodness, but this is fun. I'm home today because I slept only two hours (maybe) last night and my neurologist has put the fear of God in me that if I don't sleep I will have a breakthrough seizure. So you will be probably be hearing more from me.)
 
Tom Waits is awesome.
I hate filling the 7-day pill thing (except when I use it first thing in the morning)

YKYHE when: you laugh at the "Ghost hunter" shows on tv, because you have 'ghosts' touching, nudging, poking you all of the time
 
You know you have epilepsy when you make a meal, forget you made a meal, make another one. forget about that. Then you just end up giving up. Until the next day, when you find old food in the fridge. I call them Epileptic leftovers.
