Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 A friend just sent this to me, and I thought I'd pass it along to hopefully brighten up your day. Yes, us " Moldy's " have problems - a lot of problems, but I guess we should be happy that we don't have " A.A.A.D.D. " at least not yet! Barb Recently, I was diagnosed with " A. A. A. D. D. " - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye - they need to be watered. I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: ----the car isn't washed, ----the bills aren't paid, ----there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, ----the flowers don't have enough water, ----there is still only 1 check in my check book, ----I can't find the remote, ----I can't find my glasses, ---and I don't remember what I did with the car keys. Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail. Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!! GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC. __________________________________________________ Quote

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 You just described every day of my life.... But good lord don't try meds for this, they gave me Adderall for this once, I could not even keep my eyes still, what a nightmare, I called it synthetic speed which for the life of me I don't know how they think this is supposed to help you concentrate??? Caffeine has nothing on this. Another note my cousins husband is manic but I guess it is extreme, he just lost millions of dollars, he decided he needed to get away and took a yacht and decided to cruise the world, came back broke confused and worse. Lucky his wife is patient.. I hear it is hard to live that way so stay on your meds. The best of luck to you. Caffeine Fiend <ninahouston@...> wrote: LOL my uncle sent me this one.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 this is supposed to be a joke, right? humm, it sure sounds like a day in my life. lol's > > A friend just sent this to me, and I thought I'd pass > it along to hopefully brighten up your day. > > Yes, us " Moldy's " have problems - a lot of > problems, but I guess we should be happy that we don't > have " A.A.A.D.D.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 Thanks Barb. You might as well add Sharon to this group too. It's funny in a way, but not really, because so many can relate to this, and I find this in many people who have been exposed. Not only to mold either. You think anyone else is listening? They should be...
