Hey BTY, you don't have that A.A.A.D.D. do you ???

Re-Printed especially for BTY ... Let me know !!!

 

 

AAADD KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ! 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: 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!!

Hey Mike, I got me a 'flu shot' last week and I swear it put me on 5-day sickness ... it really affected my memory for some reason ... my arm ached and the shot site itched all the time ... I'm better now, but wow, it through me for a loop ... I would be talking to someone about something and I mean, I would totally forget what I was talking about ... I tried to explain to the parts guy at Advanced Auto what I was doing to service my truck, and I would forget the terms like 'torque converter' and 'drip pan' ... I mean it was scarry ... It sounded like I was more than half drunk ...

I did have a mini-stroke last year, so that might have something to do with it, but really ??? ... I blame it all on that crazy 'shot in the arm' ... no more 'flu' shots for me ...LOL

Sorry about the shot and illness you had afterwards Pappy. Here is a site which gives side effects of the flu shot if you are interested...

I was working on something else and thought I hadn't been to this site since this am. Want to check some more postings but there is a chocolate cake calling my name in the fridge. But I'll probably need to go out and smoke a cigarette on the porch before I get to the fridge. That is after I go to the bathroom, as I walk by it on the way to the kitchen. But my feet are cold and I'll probably put on socks before I make it to the bathroom. Then I'll probably get my herb tea and reheat that on my way to the kitchen. Then after I do all of that, I want to come back to this site and read more postings. But I really should get back on my work which really needed to be done earlier today, but other things came up I did instead, so I don't know when I'll get back to this site.

Yep, Pappy....I think I may have that....and I am not kidding. It sounds so much like me, except I don't have a house, garage, car, flower garden and I don't drink Pepsi.

I grew up with Pepsi and used to love it. It tastes different to me now...maybe I've dulled my taste buds with all the alcohol and cigs. And I love tea!
