    :D Can�t remember if I have told you this before�!!!! :D



    A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

    :rolleyes: This is how it manifests: [​IMG]

    I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
    As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the table that I
    collected from the letter 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 rubbish
    bin under the table, and notice that it is full.
    So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the
    rubbish first.
    But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post-box when I
    take out the rubbish anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1
    cheque left. My extra cheques 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 cheques, 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 fridge to keep it cold.
    As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on
    the worktop catches my eye -- they need water. I put the Coke on the worktop and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I had better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the worktop, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote control.
    Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realise that tonight when we watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote control, 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 control 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
    ââ?¬â?? the bills aren't paid
    -there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the worktop
    - the flowers don't have enough water
    - there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book
    ââ?¬â?? I can't find the remote control
    - 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 day, and I'm really tired. I realise 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 favour. 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!!
    GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.
    GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
    LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC..!!!! :D :D

    [​IMG] How familiar & true does it all sound to you????

    Excellent Marley! I do tend to get distracted and then can't remember what I started off doing, but fortunately I'm nowhere as bad as this - yet!
