AAADD.....KNOW THESYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!
« on: May 15, 2009, 01:56:26 PM »

                
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 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 one 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 p ush 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 goin g 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 all 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!

ok, i will go ahead and confess that i must have AAADD too, but, i always called it multi-tasking  ::). i have been working on it though and won't allow myself to follow through on what i started before i start something else. i will print your threqd post and take it with me to my sister's house tomorrow as my mother will be there. my momma is a classic AAADD example (she is 82 yrs old). yes, getting older can suck, but it also has its' positives too, like knowledge through experiences.

thanks for the post matthew. i will pray for your recovery.
