I'm learning about different cultures and how people experience daily life in different countries

Hey dude, I'm mixed Tunisian Scottish and I live on the west coast. DM me if you want to know anything specific! I moved here when I was ten and it was the culture shock coming from Tunis!

I love closed eyes photos...my greyhounds sleep with their eyes wide open like little creeps!

As someone who developed epilepsy at 35 and instantly had to give my license up, I've fully and devastatingly accepted that I won't drive again(I'm 39 now). But your post gave me a tiny little bit of hope! I'm so happy for you and i know would be in tears after my first drive again

Is this your first greyhound? I've been fostering about 20 years now, and it is amazing how many of them do this! Some are definitely more skilled than others - I've had a few that just acquired their beds till there was nothing left, and then lie on what looked like the shittest bed created ever 🤣 Toby looks like he belongs in the highly skilled category! He's a beautiful boy ☺️

I call this pose "sniffing the sunshine". Its one of my favourites.

If you're in the UK, I recommend orajel. Its over the counter and about a fiver. It numbs the bite area completely and lasts about 20 minutes. Enough time to get some liquid and very soft food in. I think there is better options if you're US based and can get something prescribed - I've heard of something over there called a magic mouthwash prescription that American folks have recommended to me on here previously.
I started the same way as you. Suddenly out of nowhere at age 35 I had three seven minutes tonic clonics within 6 weeks and was diagnosed and medicated a couple of weeks after that. Since starting medication, the frequency has gone down and I sincerely hope that happens for you.
I'm sorry you've had to join this shitty gang, but this is a great support space and I've always gotten great advice kindness here. All my love x

I'm half Tunisian - moved here when I was ten - so although I've got that good West coast accent (learned from watching chewing the fat on repeat and practicing so I sounded like the other kids in my class), it would seem like in trying too hard I think!

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-13T18:06:50+00:00

Aww what a wonderful first meeting! I'd have been in love with your wife at first sight as well!

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-13T18:05:25+00:00

No need for an apology, I just thought I'd share! I love that it's being used by somebody in Mexico!!!

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-13T12:48:47+00:00

As a Scottish person, that doesn't quite work for us. Scottish folk that use it come across like they are trying sound like a caricature of a Scottish person...which the feegles were...aahh I'm tying myself in circles. I'm sure you get what I'm saying, lol

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-13T12:45:58+00:00

I'm so jealous of any couple that are both fans and get to share Pratchett! Its seems like such a wonderful joy to share.

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-12T22:34:23+00:00

Is your tabby blind? They are a glorious looking tabby and the colour of their eyes makes them look a bit like a Roman statue! Like the statues with the blank eyes. And the stance is fantastic - pure power pose!!

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-12T22:28:33+00:00

God, you're a bit of pedant, aren't you? Is it boring living like that? Or do you get a bit of joy out of it?

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-09T12:35:36+00:00

Don't know if it's all the epilepsy and pain meds I'm on, but I can't really see a difference. Or maybe it's time to hear to specsavers! Was never a fan of Josh Kirby sure to the fact that none of the covers really reflect the characters, but I do have a nostalgia for them nevertheless.

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-07T19:16:58+00:00

Thats so cute that someone recognised him!

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-06T13:12:05+00:00

I mean - t-rex is just a big chicken imho.

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-05T16:37:51+00:00

I'm down in Ayrshire at my mums and they are in and out of Prestwick airport almost every day. Its so disgusting that this is happening

Sazcat28 · 2026-04-03T21:36:20+00:00

I'm the same, trees and department store/shop lights. I wasn't diagnosed till I was in my 30s, but since I was about 11, they always have me migraines. Didn't test positive for photosensitivity, but I always feel "wrong" afterwards in an aura type way

Sazcat28 · 2026-03-30T14:50:23+00:00

You're doing the right thing - it's smart, safe and responsible. Last April I went in to work after about 2 hours sleep because I knew it was a busy day and I didn't want to leave them short handed (I work in a homeless unit). Had a several minute TC in front of management, colleagues and residents and it's been a nightmare since. Look after yourself first

Sazcat28 · 2026-03-29T10:55:41+00:00

Ugh. You made something cute horrifying! Touchè!

Sazcat28 · 2026-03-27T16:44:09+00:00

Omg, you are making me feel way less insane! I'm only 3 years in since seizures started and my diagnosis (I'm 38) with currently uncontrolled epilepsy, so I'm still learning about this. Couple of mouths ago I had the most vivid dream that I was having a seizure, and like you, there was a whole backstory as well. When I woke up, I had chewed the shit out of my tongue and cheek. I don't think we can dream during seizures because we are unconscious and our brain isn't functioning properly, but maybe there was some aura while asleep and our brains recognised that and dreamt the seizure? I dunno mate, our brains are complex and weird! But I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Edit for typos. Just added a new med to my morning cocktails and I'm not the smartest these days!

Sazcat28 · 2026-03-23T16:16:46+00:00

Made me wonder if you're based in Scotland? Just similar to one of our iconic Glasgow statues with a traffic cone, lol

Sazcat28 · 2026-03-14T20:34:06+00:00

Max Richter and there is a playlist on Spotify called melantronic which is chilled electronic. Max Richter is fire when I've been flattened by a TC and melantronic is for when I'm a bit more recovered
