Diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. .....

<font color="blue">Recently, I was .... uhhhmmm What was I gonna say?

Oh yeah ....


Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.




I decide to water my garden.

As I 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 porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys 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 check book 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 I'd 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.

The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to 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 water.

I put the Coke on the counter 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 water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

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 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 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 the whole darn day, 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.


Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

Somewhat related but on a different disfunctional spectrum is A.A.D.D. This is Automotive Attention Deffict Disorder. Many on this board seem to be afflicted, but the worst cases I have seen are 2 gentlemen in Michigan. They have the unbelievable ability to work on and complete some very nice automobiles, in fact bringing many back from the grave. What takes normal people 2-3 years to complete, they typically complete in a matter of months. They then enjoy the car for a short time and then they either lose interest in the car because there is nothing more to do to them, or they are purchased by others at an event. They then progress onto the next hopeless case that will get finished before Britney can grow her hair out.
