Hey, at least yours is after a beer!

I can act like that after drinking NOTHING!! :eek:

And that's a perfect analogy of how I walk - like a sailboat crossing the winds at sea!! :D I bear to the left, too. Don't know why - but my left shoulder can tell you it's true! :p

Sarah, I *already* use Sippy Cups!

like a toddler, I've been known to "forget" my hand is holding a cuppa, look away for a sec, and find the contents poured right out on the FLOOR!

I like the "adult" version, big plastic thermal coffee mugs with nice BIG handles, and tight LIDS, and just a teensy-TINY hole in the lid, for sipping hot beverages while in a car.

:p:o:p

When it's raining in the evening of 4th of July and you say, "the poor lil kids are going to get their "sprinklers" all wet.

sparklers + sprinkles (rain) = sprinklers :rolleyes:

You know you have MS when: The first thing you do when you wake up in the morning, is make sure nothing "new & exciting":) is happening to your body that day LOL:D

You take a nap and wake up at 6:30 PM and have to lay there and wonder if it's 6:30 AM or 6:30 PM!! I've done it!! :eek:

Yep on that one! A few years ago, I was on my way to my Neuro. for a check-up. Half-way there, I take a turn (wrong one), then confusion :confused:set in...

I made my way to a pay-phone and called the doctor's office for directions. :wink:

Ah... now you're wondering about the phone number.

;)

I always carry business cards with me.... just in case... of such a thing:winky:

Niko:cool:

you drop something you had no idea you were holding

not only wonder where u were going but now that u have arrived there why are u there

This thread is so funny!

You know you have MS when someone you love jokingly asks you how many drinks you've had! (knowing you don't drink alcohol!)

You know you have MS when you can't remember WHAT you are currently driving....you remember the color and type - van, and that the thing is AMerican made!....10 minutes later you remember! Dodge Grand Caravan!!

when you've lived in a house for two YEARS, and still don't recognize your house key.

you're hopping up and down at the door, about to pee your pants, and still have to try EVERY key on the ring!

you come home from the store with five things NOT on the list, and WITHOUT the one thing you WENT for, and only thing you really NEEDED!

you wear elastic-waist pants so you can pull 'em down faster when it's time to go pottie.

you get odd looks from people at the store, like "Isn't it a bit EARLY in the day to be hittin' the BOTTLE, lady?" when you stagger a bit in the checkout line.

you get TIRED of explaining that you don't have Muscular Dystrophy.

you keep a complete and detailed log of symptoms, but forget to bring it to your Neuro appointment.

you're THRILLED when the local store gets a scooter for shoppers.

you're PEEVED as HECK when folks in a hurry use the HANDICAPPED parking "Oh this'll just take a few minutes!" and you find you want them to have MS for just a few minutes...
