Can anyone on here associate with these symptoms ? OK...not you young buggers like Brad, Adam, Plumbs7..........or maybe Plumbs7 stays in......
It is NOT being senile, it is called AAADD
See here on how it starts,

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!
Somehow I feel better, even though I have it, Thank goodness there's a name for thisdisorder !! Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to feed the horses and take out the left overs to the compost pile.
As I start towards the garage, I notice the mail on the center isle that I had brought in earlier.
I decide to go thru the mail, then feed the horses and take stuff out to the compost pile.
I lay my glasses on the center isle, and put the junk mail in the garbage can under the center isle 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 when walking by the car, I decide the car needs washing, I’ll wash it first, then take out the garbage, then feed the horses and take the stuff to the compost pile.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the center isle and take out the garbage first.
But then I think, I might 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 the study where I find the lastest magazine I'd been reading.
I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the water bottle aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The water bottle is getting warm, so I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the water bottle, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water.
I put the water bottle 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 to 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 horses aren’t fed, the stuff for the compost pile isn’t taken out, the bills aren’t payed, car isn't washed, the garbage hasn’t been taken out, there is a warm water bottle 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……
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 read my magazine....
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
