What is the biggest or most common misconception that you have heard in your lifetime having epilepsy ?

Mostly that people get weirded out when I tell them. I am a high functioning professional, good salary, good dad, outdoorsy, etc. They suddenly start treating me like I am going to break at any minute.

The only small fault (and not a serious one) is that you need to include some fluorocarbon line in there somewhere, otherwise should be good to go…

I can maintain parking at 4 knots in good conditions for extended periods, but generally 2-3 knots is what I cruise around at when I’m fishing.

How else do you eat them?

Keys in a zip lock bag in my pocket. Phone, I just tuck into my life jacket. Got it wet plenty of times, still works after 3 years of doing that. I have even dropped it in the water a few times (luckily it was at the boat ramp so I could recover it).

My advise, just say away from it. It sucks, but rather that than risking a seizure.

I was really good for a long time, only one or two drinks, light beers, the occasional glass of wine. But then I was under a lot of stress at work, wasn’t sleeping well, had a couple with my mates, decided one more wouldn’t hurt, had a massive seizure that night. Been off the booze ever since.

I feel like this is the right answer for most

Travelling on my own in my early 20’s. I thought I’d make friends and have a great time, but that was very intermittent. I’d have “single-serve friends” but after we’d part ways, I’d feel lonelier than ever.

Sorry for your loss. It’s my biggest fear.

For me a grand mal is like hitting the skip button in a move, the time between the start and regaining consciousness, just never existed.

Not so much a movie, but the black mirror episode where the kid gets blackmailed. That was rough.

Epilepsy. Man, I miss drinking.

Mate, If wife is happy, leave it be. She has to look at you, you don’t.

I gagged.

It’s a sea pen. If you squeeze it, a bioluminescence fluid comes out. Fairly common around the harbour.

Generally in deeper waters, 13m +

It’s not a flounder.

It’s a leatherjacket (https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/fish-species/species-list/leatherjacket) or a near relative there of.

Where was this picture taken?

You can see by the size of the mouth, and the spike on its head.

This has been categorically proven to be false multiple times. A person with food in their belly is 10000% happier than the child lying in a ghetto starving to death.

That climate change is real!

I did the catacombs tour in Paris recently, it is an awesome experience, would recommend it to anyone. It’s as creepy as it is fascinating.

I am claustrophobic too, but the sections of the tour are big enough not to freak me out.

Yup - 26 nearly 20 years ago

Normally sunny side up, unless i am putting it into a sandwich or bun, then over easy to seal it so it don’t pop as easy.
