Everything OK? It's like your digital life is flashing before our eyes... :) - Thomas
No worries, just a long-overdue project! - Sarah Lane
OK, good - just checking :) - Thomas
You look the same as 17, and I'm not just complimenting you. Good genes you got. - Dave Friedel
Sarah Lane
Sorry Sarah.....;lol....total cuddle - Bill Heslin
I mean, I know people say this and blah blah, but these two cats are the most lovable creatures I ever could have picked. They're best buds too! - Sarah Lane
The cat on the left looks to be saying "What are you looking at?" - George Brickner

Hey @vimeo, I just wrote world's wittiest video descrip. using your Desktop app & it didn't carry over to the video page. I WILL END YOU.
Are you turning green and going around shouting "Sarah smash!"? - Thomas
I haven't yet, but I plan to today. On the street. On the bus. Wherever it'll upset people the most. - Sarah Lane
Make sure you leap around - parkour-style - while you're at it... - Thomas
I think there should be some explosions going on too, you know, for dramatic effect. - Amy
We can add in some effects in post. Sarah, you *are* going to have someone film this, right..? - Thomas

Now I've got the urge to make a low carb version of one of those... - Thomas from FreshFeed
Low carb? That's disgusting. - Sarah Lane
It's not too bad - chop up pecans for the crust and use liquid sucralose instead of sugar. Don't knock it til you try it... :) - Thomas

Sarah have you had any luck posting to SquareSpace from Posterous? I'd like to cc my own website so I have an archive of all of my posts from twitter, tumblr, etc... - Jude
good q Jude, I haven't tried it yet. Also with videos, even though going straight to SS would be awesome, I like them to be wrapped in the Vimeo player for consistency, so I still have to do it the hard way with videos, right? I swear these concepts shouldn't be so hard for me to wrap my head around. - Sarah Lane

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of my life. - http://www.sarahlane.com/blog...
Isn't that a copywritten phrase? - Chad McCoskey from iPhone
Eh, mine is slightly different. ;) - Sarah Lane
Sarah Lane
@stevemcnally No, I didn't block you, I'm just not following you. Not the same thing.
Oh snap! - Andru Edwards
Honestly, it's not hard to figure out the difference. It really chaps my hide when somebody goes off on my bad etiquette without knowing how Twitter works. Although I do have terrible etiquette in general *picks nose* - Sarah Lane
Talking about twitter etiquette on FriendFeed? That's bad FriendFeed etiquette... - Thomas
I guess you can treat FriendFeed at times to be like your inner dialogue for Twitter. - Jerry Perez

And the moral of the story is.... WATCH MORE MOTHEREFFING ANIMAL PLANET. http://animal.discovery.com/inverte...
Charming little buggers, aren't they... - Thomas
What's nice is in the video clips about it, nobody's cured or gets better, the dumb host just talks about how deadly and awful it is. I shouldn't even have watched. - Sarah Lane
I'm not surprised you'd watch something about what you have - it's human nature. Sounds like they were going more for shock value and ratings, though. I wouldn't put too much stock in their portrayal of those afflicted... - Thomas from FreshFeed
So, is this little bugger the cause of your health issues? - George Brickner
Jon, the Beartato of FF
Would *not* being on a specific twitter list piss you off?
Depends on who made the list. I've gotten prickly about a few already. - Sarah Lane
Well, that definitely makes sense. If I were excluded from the "most awesome persons" list, I'd be kind of discouraged. :P - Jon, the Beartato of FF
on the same token, and a more serious one, I'd probably get kind of pissy if I were put on a list that somehow insulted my character or said something mean toward me. - Jon, the Beartato of FF
I'm offended I'm not on any 'Future baby-daddy' list - Rodfather
None have pissed me off but one or two have been interesting to see, in regards to how someone differentiates their personal connections. It's a mistake to try and read too much into a label someone uses but it is - interesting to say that least. - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
+1 patricia elizabeth - chaz2b
Nope. - Mellissa Jane
I made a post about this a week ago. How long till we see the 'Sluty Girls At My School' list, and the media run with it - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
I wanna be the slutty girl at someone's school. :P - Jon, the Beartato of FF
@rodfather, check out the lists now. You'll be pleasantly surprised that you are on a Future baby-daddy list. :P - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Also, I need to find myself some more future baby-daddies. - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Hahaha awesome. Thanks - Rodfather

So, what you need is some sort of temporal restraining order... - Thomas from FreshFeed
Not gonna like - doesn't look good! - Jesse Stay
That brain is hawt! I'd do it. - Dave Friedel
Eviction order being served currently... Vamoose! - Amy
wow... - J. Abdul-Qahhar
At least you know what your fighting now. - Dave Friedel
yup - looks like a cysticercus. If you're right handed, it should be fairly straightforward... Best of luck. (your friendly neighborhood epilepsy surgeon) - Oren Sagher
Funny thing, Oren. I'm left-handed. :( - Sarah Lane
Sarah Lane
Thx for all the "wow you're small" replies. I'M 12 YEARS OLD, PEOPLE. & hanging w 4 waitresses from Merlotte's! Hope I don't get bitten.
I just assumed your apartment had 10 foot ceilings. - Dave Friedel
Only 10? - Thomas from FreshFeed
She'd be more at home in a pre-revolutionary house in Massachusetts. 7 foot ceilings and tiny doorways. - Dave Friedel
that wasn't my apartment, those are prob 10 ft. ceilings tho - Sarah Lane

So is someone else going as Chris Hansen...? :) - Thomas
+1 Thomas - Jerry Perez
I know I'm dumb, but no idea who Chris Hansen is. - Sarah Lane
He hosts "to catch a predator"... :) - Thomas from FreshFeed
People, I was 12 once. I wore this outfit on game days. I am older than that now, and it still fits and I feel like a metabolic warrior. Good grief with the pedo commentary! - Sarah Lane
Sarah, they're MALE, they clearly have no understanding of how this is a good thing. :) Also: *thumbs up* - Amy
12? You look sixteen at least. - George Brickner
You need a midnight train going an-e-where? - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

That's a must watch!! - Jerry Perez from iPod
Love JJ! I really hope she does well. Betty is such a specific character, it'll be great to see her comic range! - Sarah Lane
SNL already did some fun stuff when they had Hamm on. The "be Like Don Draper" bit was hilarious. She's on the cover of GQ this month. - Jerry Perez from iPod

Google Voice: New, Improved, & Still Disappointing
Thx for liking, but I simply MUST insist that you also weigh in! I want to get some good Google Voice info out of your comments... here, on the Current.com page, Facebook, whatever. - Sarah Lane
What, you gonna deny a poor little woman with a brain tumor? I think not. ;) - Sarah Lane
Also! My Google Voice number is in this segment for all to admire. And so's my cell phone number, but I tried pretty hard to blur that one out. :) - Sarah Lane
I have some good stuff, will post tomorrow during the living hours. - Eric @ CS Techcast from iPhone
Sorry, Sarah - can't be monitoring FF *all* the time... :) I honestly haven't used Google Voice much for some of the same reasons you mentioned. For some reason my number is firmly stuck in my head, but I haven't given it out to many folks (more out of laziness than anything, since my friends all have my cell number already). Haven't run into the issue with voicemail (even though I have... more... - Thomas
Sarah - you're right - it pretty much sucks if you don't give out your Google Voice number. The lack of Visual Voicemail integration is also a big let-down. I've experimented with it by distributing my GV number to Facebook contacts who I don't want stalking me (I made a group for them). I've found that the inbound calling, and SMS forwarding is really cool and works flawlessly. Outbound calling and voicemails requires a visit to the GV mobile page (which I keep open in Safari on my iPhone). - Ankush Narula
Thinking about it some more, I can see a use where you give the GV number to all your creditors and potential telemarketers. I use my land line for that now, but eventually I want to get rid of that. Another use - if you want a number in a different area code. As someone who wants to eventually sell a screenplay, it might behoove me at some point to get a number in the 310 area code to... more... - Thomas
One more thing. Here are a couple of useful links I found courtesy of LifeHacker: Making the Transition - http://lifehacker.com/5311254... and Potentially getting unlimited calls with GV - http://lifehacker.com/5382770... I'll need to try out both... :) - Thomas
awesome, thx for those Thomas! - Sarah Lane
I love Sarah because she hasn't abandoned FriendFeed like the rest of the geeks. Keep using it Sarah! I'm even more a follower now than ever. - Jesse Stay
Happy to help :) - Thomas from FreshFeed
I agree that giving it to people who I really don't want to have my number is nice. If you don't really want to hear from them, just let it go to voice mail. And if you do, no worries, you can add them to your friend group. Also if you're in some networking environment, you really don't have to worry about who exactly you give your number out to. I did try to tie it to my Skype account but it did not like that at all. - Jerry Perez
I like GV's send to VM between certain times. So when I sleep I don't have to hear a phone ring unless so are so important to me I allow your call to come through. This way I can sleep but still receive potentially emergency phone calls. Also, I have used one is a home phone replacement so if people call it, it will ring my phones, my gf, and the kids. And I can see other great... more... - Philip Griego
Google Voice works really well *if* you have a good application to deal with the Voicemails. I installed GV Mobile on my (jailbroken) iPhone. Since they recently added the "use GV as voicemail" feature, I find that I'm using it a lot more than before. The basic problem with GV is that it's not a voicemail replacement, as such (though it has that sort of functionality now). It works best... more... - Otto
I'm using Google Voice and like it. It's still better than the crappy voicemail from the cable company or cell phone company. I don't have any app to run it on my phone and don't need one. I voice dial to get the messages. Works great. - Dave Friedel
I use GV as the voice mail for my Podcast. Works great for that. Also use it for all of my phones, ...well, that is mmm, okay. I really wish it was a bit more flexible. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Hate the lack of support to visual voicemail and that I have to go to Google Voice's page to make a call if I want my number to show on outbound calls. LOVE the fact that I can give my GV # to potential employers so they don't have to worry about reaching a number I'm not at. - ChiliMac
If I could get Google voice to just let voicemails go to my IPhone I'd be happy. - ChiliMac
google voice just seems redundant. unless you give up your cell phone (which nobody will do) its just another way to do the same thing with (as you said) one more phone / log in / password / gadget. It wont last. Friend feed, Skype, and Twitter are NEW ways to communicate. I just got rid of my TV to watch everything online (Hule, Twit.tv...etc.) This was a way to get rid of a redundancy. Creating consolidation tech is where its at, not new ways to do old things, I think it will fade away. Gr8 vid. - echostreamer
The real feature for GV is small business. So many telcos have SMBs over a barrel with terrible features. These people can't afford a PBX with forward and follow features. They could hook up a GV number, including their established line, and allow for forwards to any number, without the need to put 5 different numbers on their business cards. This is really a killer feature, and visual voicemail won't matter to those people. (also posted to current) - Eric @ CS Techcast
I'm probably a minority here, but since I have an Android phone I'll chime in: GV works like a charm (including masking my number on outbound calls/sms) using the GV app for my phone. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
My use case is probably different then most. I use GV almost exclusively as a web based PBX. Very rarely do I use it on a cell phone unless the number is being forwarded there. I also use the number experimentally with widgets or by posting on developmental sites to track conversions that take the route of inbound phone traffic as opposed to an online sale. I also like the fact that messages are recorded online so I can forward them as needed. - Eric Logan
Favorite Google Voice feature: voicemail transcription sent to my cell via SMS and/or email. - Shea from BuddyFeed

I was all freaked about finding a Halloween costume so last-minute. Then I remembered my 7th grade cheerleading outfit. WHICH FITS, BITCHES.
Luckyyyyyyyyyy. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I thought you were against sexy costumes! ;-) - jccalhoun
So are you going for the full on 80's cheerleader look? :) - Thomas
So what you are saying is that you haven't gotten any taller since the 7th grade? - Philip Griego
philip- yep, that's what i'm saying. - Sarah Lane
I'd pay good money to be the size I was in 7th grade. - EricaJoy
Wow. In 7th grade I think I weighed half what I do now. - Lo
This I gotta see. Pictures or it didn't happen! - Faraz Mullick
In 7th grade, I was almost a foot shorter than I am today. As for fitting into those clothes... well, you couldn't get me back into corduroys and terry-cloth, v-neck shirts even on Halloween. - Roger Benningfield
So in essence for Halloween you are going as you? Won't you be embarrassed if somebody else shows up with the same costume! - Joe Pierce
You know you have to do 80's hair for your costume. - Philip Griego
Pics or it doesn't fit??? :D - ChiliMac
Sarah Lane
A proposition to the female population on Halloween: - http://tumblelog.sarahlane.com/post...
Could not agree more! - Amy
Let 'em be - Mark
P.S. Sarah Lane is freaking awesome - Mark
Sigh. More sexism. :) - Chad McCoskey from iPhone
Exactly, Chad. Who's to say that the slutty teacher isn't helping dozens of underprivileged children with their SAT's, or that the well-dressed teacher isn't having a tawdry affair with a 15 year old student? And the sexy nurse? She could secretly researching a cure for cancer while the comfortably dressed nurse is outside during breaks fighting bums for cash. Basing ability on how they dress - I call sexism! Sexism, I say... :P - Thomas
Don't get any of those sights in Oz!! But then we don't do Halloween very much in the mistaken belief that it is an American invention. - Simon Bryan from twhirl
That's OK - we've corrupted enough countries with our holidays that I'm sure we'll get to you guys soon... :) - Thomas
++ Sarah - well said. Men, TAKE YO PANTS OFF. - Jennifer Dittrich
Hmmmm, Successful Woman Pirate.... My I suggest the most successful pirate of all time? You see, it was a Chinese woman by the name of Chang or Lady Chang. They argue about her name. When her husband died, she inherited his empire and continued to build it. Before the Chinese government sued for peace in around 1810, she was in charge of >70,000 pirates and > 400 ships. The government... more... - David Eckard
I honestly thought it was just a cliche, then I went to the Halloween store to get some stuff for my son's costume, and ventured into the ladies section. Unbelievable. Every single option (and I mean literally EVERY one) was a 'sexy' version of some themed costume. Ridiculous. This may prompt you to ask, "But Fleagle, why did you wander into the ladies section in the first place." But alas, I've run out of room. - Fleagle
Hmm, I commented on this earlier but it didn't seem to post. To be clear, I didn't write this original post, my friend Moujan did. I merely reblogged and added some commentary. Tumblr content doesn't always translate here on FF. :) - Sarah Lane
Sarah Lane
It appears I either have neurocysticercosis, or ganglioglioma. Either way, brain tumors are reserved for mother effing pimps like me.
which one it is, I hope you get better soon! - Fee501st
:( At least you're closer to knowing what it is now, I guess - Amy
You're closer to an answer and they both sound treatable (based on initial feverish Googling). Hang in there. - Thomas
Aww.. It's hard to be a pimp. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Well at least it's not lupus, hope you get better soon. - Jimminy
Tumors are lame, but your attitude is freaking awesome! - Lo
Can we get a #blamesarahstumor ? - Rochelle

I pray that things will get better. Love your positive attitude. - Jerry Perez

Praying your days get better soon - Eric Logan

keep that great attitude and positive out look. prayers and hopes kid. - echostreamer
All the best and a mountain of hope for a full recovery. You're a treacherous ball of steel. Knock it out. - Dave Friedel
thanks guys. xo - Sarah Lane
Let us know if there's anything we can do. I'm totally willing to donate one of Dave's kidneys if it'll help... - Thomas
Gee thanks. Think maybe you should ask me about that first? I might be using it... wait... yup, I'm using it right now. - Dave Friedel
Yeah, but both? C'mon, Dave - be a team player... - Thomas
Don't be selfish Dave. - Jerry Perez
Yeah, but she may not need an extra kidney. I mean, just leaving a perfectly good kidney laying around the cottage?? Nobody wants that... except maybe Colleen who will hook a 12 monitor gaming computer up to it... but still.... - Dave Friedel
Embrace the joy of giving, Dave... - Thomas
Fine. But I'm keeping my remaining lung. - Dave Friedel
Deal. And if she can't use your kidney she can sell it - maybe get Mad Men on DVD or something... - Thomas
( PS- For context, this is a continuation of http://ff.im/8WkWA ) - Dave Friedel
Sarah, much love to you. I read up on those conditions. The neurocysticercosis just sounds.... ewwww. I hope the doctors take care of it and you heal up quickly. This kinda stuff weighing on ones mind can be hard to handle sometime.Think positive and focus on healing! - Jim Bednarz
Eeek ... good thoughts your way. - Kalidor
Best wishes and hope to you, Sarah. xx - Andrew Terry
Best wishes from here as well - Charlie Anzman
We love you! - Veronica
Damn... That kid from Kindergarten Cop was right? :-( - Otto
Truly wish you all the best! - Charles Alden
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Sarah! - George Brickner
May G-d grant that you merit a complete and speedy recovery to full health. - David C. Cooper
I have my in-school RN wifey looking that neurocysticercosis up. Sounds nasty. I had a tumor on my head when I was 25 if that makes you feel better. I am still irritating people, even today! - Wilson Hines
Sarah Lane
Why is it impossible to buy an mp3 of Bob Seger's R&R Never Forgets? I've tried iTunes, Amazon, Spotify. Only dumb live perfs & covers. WTF?
Got it! - Sarah Lane
Very cool. - Thomas
I went looking for some Bob Seger music on iTunes and Amazon but couldn't find any. Then one day, the album with 'Night Moves' appeared and I bought the song. After a while, I went back to get another song and the album was gone. Perhaps Seger doesn't like downloadable music? - George Brickner
I was gonna sing it for you. ;) - Josh Haley
Sarah Lane
@nilsen31 You have made an over 31 years old parasitic diseased tumor patient VERY HAPPY!! ;) Thank you!!
It's .... the song.... 16.... 31.... oh, nevermind. - Sarah Lane
yeah i figured it out...eventually - Jerry Perez
As a fan of Seger, I am embarrassed. - Jerry Perez
Sarah Lane
Wondering what I've been up to at Current Tech lately? iTunes podcast link: http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObje... (there's a drinking game in here somewhere)
Holy crap, I didn't know there was a podcast. I haven't had much time to participate on the site, but a podcast would help get me current again. (See what I did there) - Dave Friedel
Me either :D Now I have Sarah in my iphone! Don't worry Sarah its warm and full of delicious snacks! - Fee501st
Set up rules for a drinking game and I will subscribe! - Philip Griego
you could make it easy on yourself. "every time sarah says 'hi, i'm sarah lane' , drink" - Sarah Lane
What if I don't drink? - Dave Friedel
Just make it a *really* large drink and you're in business... - Thomas
Dave, heroin works just as well... (kidding, btw) - Thomas
drink some ginger ale or something. make it count!! - Sarah Lane
Sarah Lane
@CurtMcFarland Sorry, I don't do stories on command.
Spam, spam, spam, spam... - Thomas
I know right? Some people just don't get it. - Sarah Lane
The @replies to him probably just made him more determined :) BTW, nice TWiF today... - Thomas
Sarah Lane
All-around showoff/badass @jayadelson just snapped his fingers & booked a hard-to-book neurologist for me. That's some CEO shit right there.
Hope your appointment goes well. - Thomas
thank you... still keeping today's appt because i'm having some medicine side effects, but next week i'm seeing someone recommended as one of the best in the bay for my particular case. Go Jay!! - Sarah Lane
Very cool. Hopefully you'll be med-free and drinking again in no time... :) - Thomas
So, did things turn out well after new MRI? - Jerry Perez
I have a followup appt with my doctor today to discuss MRI results. Fingers crossed!! - Sarah Lane
Good luck! - Thomas
Good luck :) - Mike
Afterward are you tuning into Leo's Windows 7 house party? The install might still be going on by then...:) - Thomas
Good luck. - Jerry Perez
Best of wishes (as always of course) - Chris Heath
Sarah Lane
Since you're all so nice to participate in this room for me, I thought I'd update you: I saw a new neurologist yesterday who was very concerned by my allergtic reaction to Dilantin and insisted I stop cold turkey, because the reaction can actually be life-threatening if left to fourish. So now I'm on a drug called Keppra. Fingers crossed.
Good luck with the new med. Does it also have the "no drinking" requirement? - Thomas
It has a "don't drink yourself under the table or it could compromise your meds" requirement. It mostly metabolizes in the kidneys, rather than the liver, as Dilantin did. So basically I'm cool to drink a little wine here and there. LIFE BEGINS AGAIN!!! - Sarah Lane
And there was much rejoicing... - Thomas
Good wishes your way. - Dave Friedel

No love for Sacramento in the list of cities, I see. Looks like a good site, otherwise... - Thomas

Just saw a Dove/Walmart singing women commercial that made me want to stab the wall. Wow that sucked. And now, back to "Pot City, USA"
I don't know if it's the same one you saw, but I just saw this Dove/Walmart commercial on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch...). Not sure what they were thinking when they made this... - Thomas
That's the one. God it makes me want to punch someone. - Sarah Lane
"does your hair make you giggle?" NO, IT NEVER, EVER DOES, AD EXECUTIVES. EVER. - Sarah Lane

The Education Connection auto-tune commercial makes me want to punch someone also. Mainly the girl in the commercial. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

This Week in Media - Eric Geller

TWiD (This Week in Drugs) is very much available. - Eric Geller
some people just don't understand when people are joking, do they? - jccalhoun
Hurt my back a few times in my life. Every time at least one person asked to buy the remaining refills off me. It's quite common for people to try to share or sell them. - Dave Friedel
There is a lot about Martin and Sarah's delivery on the show, that I often have no clue when they're joking and when they're serious. It's only been in the last 2 weeks that I realized they were joking around about the Steve Gibson hate, and I was left really creeped out by the hate spewed at Megan Morone when she had to stop drinking to have her babies, I still don't know if that's a joke. I guess it's the mark of a genius delivery, because it's very Andy Kaufman, I never know when they're joking. - Matthew DeVries
Andy Kaufman was a genius. I think he could still be alive and fooling us all. - Dave Friedel
When in doubt, err on the side of sarcasm. Like I do. For everything. - Mike Nayyar
I also don't know if this depression borderline suicidal over the lack of a day job and losing out on job opportunities guy that Martin keeps playing is a role or the truth. I keep feeling like I should do something, that all his real-life see him every day friends like Leo, Sarah, Scoble?, Kevin are missing these obvious signs and should intervene. That this guy is on the edge of... more... - Matthew DeVries
Matthew- sounds like you definitely are missing a lot of sarcasm/humor in TWiF in general, but as for Martin's unemployment situation, I talk to him about it on a daily basis and wish I could provide the solution. It's just not that easy. Many of us are just getting by with money and health insurance in an expensive city as it is. - Sarah Lane
I'd imagine SF isn't the easiest place to live in during a down economy... - Thomas
Sarah - at the end of the day, I do just assume everything I "miss" is sarcasm or an inside joke I don't get. I've been listening to you all (counting you and Martin as part of the whole screen savers history, which for me started a pretty important set of dominos in my life) for over a decade now, and give the benefit of the doubt. Just saying that I have to filter it at that level of... more... - Matthew DeVries
For the record, I still think Andy Kaufman was a genius. - Dave Friedel
Seriously over-analyzing a show called "This Week in FUN" is not worth it. The whole point of the show is to make light of things and have a good time. That is how one should listen to it. Just sit back and witness the craziness unfold. I can't believe people are actually taking this medication bet seriously. Oh and I agree Andy Kaufman was incredible :) - Mike
Here I come to save the dayyyyy.... http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Dave Friedel
Sarah Lane
@aaronights Poor? Aaron, I am the richest woman in the United States of America.
That guys twitter background freaked me out! - Fee501st
If you're the richest woman in America, shouldn't you be offering Martin a 6 figure job or something? Or at least buy out that vineyard that turned him down... :) - Thomas from FreshFeed
ha. ha. ha. i don't want that vineyard. i'm looking at vineyards on the moon right now. BECAUSE I CAN. - Sarah Lane
There's water on the moon now, so at least you're set there... - Thomas

I had a grand mal seizure. Want to hear? - http://www.sarahlane.com/blog...
Scary stuff, Sarah. I mean really - mushrooms on an omelette? :) Seriously, though, it's good to see you're feeling better and back to blogging. Hope your path to a full recovery is a clear and short one... - Thomas
get well soon, :( - chaz2b
get well soon! - mjc
Back in the 90's, my late cat Basil had a few grand mal seizures. He used to sleep between my feet so the seizure would wake me up. I'd place him on the floor and his thrashing would move him across the carpet. After a bit, he'd stop. His eyes would be open but he was non-responsive. After another minute, he'd regain his senses and meow plaintively as if he realized something unusual... more... - George Brickner
My sister had a few when she was very young and it was terrifying. I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope that you don't experience anything more. - joey

Nice survival reactions in the ambulance. I bet that drive will make a difference in your recovery. - Todd Hoff
I finished the blog post... at least for now. Man, it took me forever. I want my brain back. - Sarah Lane
Sarah - I'm glad you're feeling better, what a scary experience! - Jennifer Dittrich
Oh my. Good luck with your neurologist appointment and I hope that you get the best diagnosis possible! I'm sorry about the medication with horrible side effects but glad that it exists and that you survived! - joey

That's really scary. It's good you had people around to help out and get you to the hospital. I hated Dilantin while I was on it. I couldn't drink alcohol, and it made me drowsy at times. Plus it never completely stopped my seizures. There are more effective seizure medications with fewer side effects. The trouble is that they tend to be more effective. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Thx guys. It's really just about positive thinking right now... everybody tells me not to stress out.. um, yeah. - Sarah Lane
Just think - nanotechnology! It's all about the tech with you, Sarah... :) - Thomas
As for positive thinking, would it help if we started teasing about your sudden forced sobriety? :) - Thomas
This whole sobriety thing is just ridiculous. Come on, science. - Sarah Lane
Have you tried near-beer? Do you drink for the taste or the buzz? - Thomas
I've had a CT Scan twice. The contrast dye IV makes you feel like you're having a hot flash. Nothing head related though. I had a bone scan and EKGs. I've also had a few things that I won't mention (because no one wants to think about 'em). - George Brickner
You world travelers have to be careful of those French Foreign Lesions! Take care. - Steven W. Kelly
Sarah Lane
Well, this is disconcerting. I had a strange ache behind my right eye last Friday. On Saturday I had a seizure and they found a lesion/edema on my right frontal lobe. Today, the eyeache returned. Please no more seizures.
Sarah please take care of yourself and just give the doctor a call to be on the safe side - Bill Heslin
WTF? :( - Andru Edwards
I hope so too! I would ask someone to come over, if you are alone right now! - Fee501st
*knocks on wood* Ya call a doctor? - Rodfather
Yeah, call the dr if you can. I know when my sister would have seizures last year, after a while you could tell when one was coming. Hopefully this isn't a sign in your case, though... - Thomas
My mom's coming into town to stay with me, so I won't be alone. Unfortunately, the LA neurologist who treated me is impossible to get a hold of, and I don't see my new local neuro until Tuesday afternoon. - Sarah Lane
Have Marty come over and stay with you until your Mom gets there, but lock up the meds.. :) - Bill Heslin
lol - Thomas
Having someone there would be a good idea, just in case. And relax on the sofa or bed - somewhere soft to lessen the odds of injury should another one occur... - Thomas
Take it easy, Sarah. Sending positive vibes your way :) - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Also, make sure you try to write down everything you're feeling (and remember feeling from last weekend) and when you feel them. It might help you in the future. - Thomas
Take good care, Sarah. - Ayşe E.
geesh poor you, goodthat you wont be alone) - Glenn Collins from iPod
Behind the eye is likely sinus related. Any friends or coworkers have cold/flu virus? That's probably what it is, but be sure to get checked out. If you bend all the way over and it hurts more, it's likely that. - Dave Friedel
Yes, keep someone with you all the time and where they can hear you when sleeping. It is a good idea to write down anything that you think might help until you go see the neurologist. It will save you time on medical tests and help the doctor identify the problem. I send you prayers for a good weekend and good health. - Kelly J
Be cautious. - Anne Bouey
Hope You're ok. Sending good thoughts your way! - Edgar Rodríguez
thx guys. my mom's cooking me dinner and i feel better. :) - Sarah Lane
Very cool. Nothing soothes quite like a mother's home-cooking... :) - Thomas

She would never tell you about it..cause she's just that wonderful...feel better my friend - Bill Heslin

Glad your mom is there to look after you. I hope you are feeling better soon. - WorldofHiglet
I hope things turn out well for you. - Jerry Perez
*hugs* Sending blessings your way... - Jannifer @wordsforliving
Could just be a migrane coming? Or something to do with blood pressue (my mum gets pain in/behind the eye when she's attempting not to rage at someone)? Either way, I hope it was nothing! - Amy
Moms are great at making you feel better, aren't they. - Kim Landwehr
Eyeache's been on and off since yesterday, but I'm still standing. Thx for the good vibes, all. - Sarah Lane
