Went from a dear friend:

 

 

AAADD

 

(AGE Activated Attention Deficit Disorder)

 

This is how Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder manifests itself :

 

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 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 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 re! mote, 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 one check in my check book

 

I can't find the remote

 

I can't find my glasses

 

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 who

I sent it to. Did I even hit the send button?

 

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

is coming!

What a relief! You just described me seven days per week! I've been blaming it

on my yin/yang/qi deficiency, blood stagnation trying to fight each other for

first place! Thank goodness I don't drink Coke...

 

You mean it's not just me? Other people do this too??????
