Even before I was dx, I noticed that my mind would play tricks on me.

I thought it would be fine (oops...meant fun) to start a post on some of the funny lyme brain lines.

For example: I get the paper two times a week in my town.

Last week the headlines were on the teacher's needing more salary.

This week, I opened up the paper and my lyme brain first read "Teacher's Marijuana Field Raided."

Well, that is one way to increase ones income. [Smile]

Then, I looked again and I had put two headlines together.

One was titled Teacher's raises approved.

The other was titled Marijauana field raided.

They were side by side and my lyme brain choose to read just the top words and put them together. [Smile]

I think this is how rumors must get started. Lyme Brain!

If I had a better memory I would have a lot of lyme lines. I thought about keeping a pad and paper with me just for such occasions, but i can't even remember the pad and paper.

Anyway I look forward to whatever others have to contribute. These are always fun.

This happens to me a lot!! I put one example that really happened to me in my book "The Singing Forest".

I was driving down the highway and some of the green road signs did not have any words on them. Well at least I thought there weren't any words on them.

Then one sign said "Right time for red". It really said "Right Turn on Red"

I have had a few others that actually were sexually explicit....that I cannot post here, and were not a freudian slip, or a clue to my libido, but a good example of lyme brain fog.

Now THOSE can be really funny!

My co-worker recently bought a new van. At the end of the workday, a group of us walked out to the parking lot together to admire it.

After looking everything over, the male co-workers excitedly lifted the hood to peer underneath.

I turned to my female co-worker and said, "Isn't that just like men! They always have to check out the onion!"

I meant "engine." [dizzy]

Here's one more:

My company has a golf league, and they golf every Tuesday.

I was having a very brain-foggy day at work.

I dropped some papers off in my boss's office at the end of the day and stayed to chat a bit.

He happened to glance at the clock and said "Yikes! Get out! I have to change my clothes or I'll miss my tee time." He shut his door, and I wandered away.

I passed a co-worker's cubicle and asked her "Did they change the golf day?"

She said, "No, why?"

I said, "Because they always golf on Tuesday."

She looked blankly at me and said, "But today IS Tuesday."

I said, "I know it was Tuesday this morning, but what is it now????"

She said, "Tuesday. It's still Tuesday."

I said, "Well, how did that happen?"

I was so confused. So was she.

Then we all went home.

The End.
