For those of you that don't get this, you

> will, your day is coming

> ...............................

> 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, 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 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

> - 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

> - 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
