Got this in my INBOX today. I must have this because by the time I got to the end I'd to start at the top as I'd forgotten what it was about! Give it a go.
AAADD- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS..... Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!! Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it 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 it needs washing. As I head towards the garage, I notice post on the porch table thatI picked up from the postman earlier. I decide to go through it before I wash the car. I put my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the recycling box under the table, and notice that the recycling box is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the recycling first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post-boxwhen I take out the recycling paper anyway,I may as well pay the bills first. I take my cheque book off the table and notice that there is only one cheque left. My extra cheques are in the desk in my study, so I go into the house to my desk where I find the cup of coffee I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my cheques but first I need to push the coffee asideso that I don't accidentally knock it over. The coffee is getting cold, and I decide to make another cup.. As I head toward the kitchen with the cold coffee, a vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye - the flowers need water. I put the coffee on the worktop and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I'm going to look for my cheques but first I need to push the coffee asideso that I don't accidentally knock it over. The coffee is getting cold, and I decide to make another cup.. As I head toward the kitchen with the cold coffee, a vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye - the flowers need water. I put the coffee 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 put 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 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 where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. pour some water in the flowers,but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I put the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying toremember 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 cold cup of coffee sitting on the kitchen work-surface The flowers don't have enough water, There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque 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 bloody 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 can't remember who the hell I've sent it to. Don't laugh - if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

That's me that is but I believe it's already been labelled as 'Mild OCD' as I do actually and eventually achieve everything and then subsequently forget that I've done it all.  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |
