You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Beverly, my husband had that same side effect, and there are alternatives to lisinopril. Maybe it doesn't bother you that much, but it drove him nuts.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's at the annoying stage. If it gets worse, I'll discuss it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It's damn freaky, is what. You have the word in line to be said, and when the sentence gets to that word it just evaporates.

Yep. Of course in my mom's case the big red flag was a lack of recognition when the actual word was provided to her. But still...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Topamax is also causing me the word loss, and the dry cough. And dry eyes. I still can't decide if it's worth it.

Also in my case it's not med related. It's my brain. My beautiful, but probably fatally flawed brain. I hope you all are nice to me when I'm unable to talk and all I do is smile sweetly at people and try to grab at the food.

OMG, me too.

HOLD UP! I did NOT agree to this!

I have the thing with losing the word I need and I don't think it's medication causing it. Who knows?!

It's really annoying when I'm playing Jeopardy and I forget a name or word I've always known. Like Jane Austen, or penultimate.

Our wings are not tired.

I still have the word out of reach issue, but rarely compared to a couple years ago. After I had the seizure and they had me on the awful meds, it was bad. Both with and without meds. For a couple years I have really made an effort to do the right things for my fragile brain and at this point I can see that it helped.

Of course one of the biggees for me is getting my proper sleep, and oops, way past my bedtime. Best get on that.
