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 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 Pepsi I'd been drinking .



I'm going to look for my checks,
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 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 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.



Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

P.S. I don't remember who sent it to me, so if it was you, I'm sorry.

I have had many of those days.

Ma'am, I don't recall giving you permission to film my daily activities...but I guess that's the point of your post, isn't it ?

SWMBO

No, I was really remembering mine.

Well, then, we have a lot in common...

Thanks for the laughs I will now send it to my friends.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Glad to bring a smile to your morning. There is so much nastiness on OPP these days, a little humor is necessary.

I resemble a lot of those.

Slatten and Badbobby have both departed OPP for fishing stage and canakus deploracus is also on fishing stage as well.

Rose42

I pop in to see the humor in Chit Chat. Miss the humor posts here

bahmer

badbobby and slatten got sick and tired of all of the h**e speak going on on OPP so they both moved over to Fishing Stage Canakus Deplorucus also chimes in on fishing stage ocasionally.

SWMBO

I wondered what happened to Slatten and Badbobby, two of my favorite posters.

I figure I have finally reached the age where I can legitimately blame my screw ups on my age. When life gives you a lemon, make lemonade. I'm kind of getting used to waking up in the morning and aching in places I never realized I HAD places the day before.
Isn't it funny how one birthday can change you from an airhead to a senior citizen you have to make allowances for?
