Message: <blockquote data-quote="nikonpup" data-source="post: 146869" data-attributes="member: 9922"> 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 keysThen,  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!PS I  don't remember who sent it to me, so if it was you, I'm  sorry...</blockquote>
