Now readers, before I get started, I want to remind you that my blog is strictly for entertainment purposes and is not meant to diagnosis or treat any medical illness. I am not a doctor, and although I am freakishly smart, you should probably follow-up with someone a little more serious than myself. Enjoy!

I’ll take #5; #8 (big time); and #22 (which is when you realize that your neurologist has been giving you field sobriety tests, all this time.)
