These symptoms sound familiar................I think I might have it.









AAADD- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS..... Thank goodness there's a name for this
disorder. 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
mailboxwhen 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 push the Coke a side 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 garden hasn't been watered, 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 damn 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.... Do me a favor. Copy and email this
message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who the hell I've
sent it to.

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

Been there done that. I go ARMED into the day now... Its called a Pencil and a TO DO list. I start and the top and when i become distracted I just look at the list again. Eventually, I find Ive done about half the things I wanted to and call it even.

I am glad I am not the only one with a list!

Gosh HG I'm glad you've come up with a name for this ailment, I've been afflicted with this for years ........now excuse me while I go look for my remote I think it might be in my fridge.

Thanks goodness for post-its!!

Has anybody seen my..

never mind I found it.

hahaha they tell you to put a rubberband on your wrist, and when you snap it you will remember why.
All I remember is there is painnnn.

Actually I have to alwaya make a list..but then sometimes I forget to check it

Like making a grocery list and going to the store and realize that list is on the kitchen table.
