AAADDDate: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 21:36:44 -0000AAADD - Age Activated Attention Deficit DisorderThis is how it manifests itself..... I decide to water my garden. As turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the front Veranda table that I brought up from the letter box earlier, just after the mailman had been.I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I put my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage bin beside the table, and notice that the bin 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 post box when I take out the garbage anyway (and the mailman picks up the mail at noon) ...I may as well pay the bills first. So, I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left. My spare check book is in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of CokeI'd been drinking earlier this morning.I know I going to look for my check book, but first I need to push the Coke can aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Coke is warm, so I decide to put it in the refrigerator to make it cold again. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the dining room table catches my eye -- they need water.I put the Coke on the dining room table and 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 put more water in the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the table, go to the kitchen sink to get a jug and fill it with water and suddenly spot the TV remote on the window sill. Some-one left it there.I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the window sill, so Idecide to put it back in the lounge room where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the jug, but spill some on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the kitchen bench, 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 cheque's aren't written for the bills to be paid- there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the dining room table- the flowers don't have enough water,- there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,- I can't find the remote,- I can't find my glasses,- the garbage hasn't been taken out- 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, and I'm really tired now. 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. Forward this message to everyone you know, because Idon't remember who the hell I've sent it to.Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!Don't know about you guys but I can relate to this situation!!!!!!!GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC.1.
