And at times I'm sorry to say that's me and you. Where did the 90's
go?
Just like where did everything else go??
Speaking of where things went, here's a piece on A.A.A.D.D. -- I am
a basket case. <G>

A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS!
Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
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 cheque book off the table, and see that there is only one
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 Pepsi I'd been
drinking.
I'm going to look for my cheques; but first I need to push the Pepsi
aside, so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator
to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye -- they need water.
I put the Pepsi 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 TV remote. 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
Pepsi sitting on the counter, 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 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
I've sent it to.
