KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better, even though I sometimes think I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with possibly having 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 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 the20kitchen 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 TVremote.



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 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.
Forward 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!!
 
Sounds like a typical day in my shop. My wife asked me what I have been up to and I can't tell her, but hours are gone and there is no progress on my project.
 
I went turkey hunting this morning and deer were parading by me and I was thinking of shooting one, then this Tom popped his head above the rise and O Ya Boom ! It's turkey season .........right LOL

Hi Dave (is that your name?):huh:

I have a rare, but incurable thing called CRS (I think), acronym for...:dunno:

Can't Remember Sh.........tuff. (Gotta keep it within bounds I guess) :eek: But you get the drift.:D

Well, gotta go now. "Things to go, places to see, people to do". :wave:

Hi,

I hope Glenn, my son, reads this. He can't understand how I can have so much more time away from work than he does, yet get so little accomplished. Well your thread explains it very well.

Thanks and Enjoy,

Jim

Oh yes, I have already sent a copy to friends. I can't remember their names but they are in my address book.
