wanna hear why, 3/4 of a brain, brain farts, water on my hard drive, short circuit , went from playing jeapordy to playing "are you smarter than 5th grader" (mine) . wow I wished I COULD brainstorm that is what I like to do best and not doing that is a base for my true depression that I do not understand at.
Meaning I was/am full blown adhd, add, aahd, all of that wrapped up but did not see it until a few yrs ago. (i,m 45) and love it brainstorming says to me "multi tasking" lol lol, what a statement I had 25 hobbies,looking for more, reading , constantly , working 50 hrs ,remodeling a house, gardening landscaping, roses, flowers, no grass, and szs, ??? sore as all get out a bad back and thought it was all because of "work" oops .
throw a lot of life in there with sress and a sz, disorder and thats the ticket for disaster . brain storm . lol I live in tornado alley this is an f-5 national news ,lol .
Things I guess if put in the corner and referred to , that would offend me are.
mentally challenged grrrr., disabled is still sinking in ??? grrr. , impaired. ?????? heck I don,t say epileptic ??? . things I have said in reference to this.
really lucky. first I have seen worse much worse.
telling others how i feel sometimes . like I smoked a 1/4 lb. of pot in one hit and never came down.
like the down side of tripping on lsd, shrooms etc. shew bad.like a bunch of 16 yr olds had me in football game. in reference to me hitting myself, I have not been in fight in yrs and am now my worst enemy ?? (that
scares me ) at the beginning of conversations now "i,m sorry but I may not remember this" (do not like that) .

What offends me more is when someone says your the eplieptic....that is the only thing that realy gets me going...and yes i have been called mentally ill...it dont offend me, it realy hurts that people are so under educated in this world.
Take Care Life Is Short....

When I was young you didnt have sz you had fits. I still say that though not PC these days .
I wouldnt dream of saying that to anyone else these days or though in the house will still say to the family I have had one they use the word sz. 40 years ago terms used for things were different I wonder if in 40 years the word brainstorming will have disappeared?
Brain storming I couldn't believe anyone would be offended.
