A.A.A.D.D. - It may already reside in you!

Recently, a friend was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is his symptom and 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:
1. the car isn't washed
2. the bills aren't paid
3. there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter
4. the flowers don't have enough water
5. there is still only 1 check in my check book
6. I can't find the remote
7. I can't find my glasses
8. 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....

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

DETROIT – Shares of General Motors Corp. plunged 20 per cent to a 76-year low yesterday, a day after a group of executives disclosed they had sold shares in the struggling automaker. Ford Motor Co. also tumbled, with shares dropping more than 17 per cent – the most since November.
Six of GM's executives, led by former vice-chair and product chief Bob Lutz, said Monday they had sold almost $315,000 (U.S.) in stock and liquidated their remaining direct holdings in the car maker.
