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!!

What IS a Post Turtle....?

Post Turtle

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand had been caught in the gate while working his cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and his being our president.

The  old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is just a Post Turtle."

Now not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked,

What's a "Post Turtle?"

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a  country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he sure as heck ain't goin' anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place."

Geography of the Human....

What is Marriage Coming to?

Prenuptial contract. To me, that was a farce from the beginning. When we marry, our contract is a vow before God. The contract is a partnership between two people, the contract is the license of marriage when it is performed.

Ah, let's see.... prenuptial is indicative that there will be a divorce at some point, a dissolving of the marriage, and one or both of the parties wish to retain what they have before the marriage or there is a contracted agreement of what each will receive should the marriage 'fail'. In business, that would be ideal. But, in marriage, that is the beginning of it not being a true marriage. When we vow to marry, we make a promise to be with a partner, the other part of our soul, for eternity. While it is true that some do break down horribly, it is not what marriage is intended for. We should instead be rethinking about taking that step if we must enter into it with a second contract, dishonoring the first. It would benefit us more to back off the commitment than to be incomplete in our commitment. If the marriage is made like a business deal, it is not made faithfully and in good will.... the foundation then becomes financial rather than what the meaning is meant for. Marriage is for a foundation of family; not wealth, happiness, health, or sexual gratification... solely. If you are not marrying to be 'ONE' ... then don't marry. It would be best to wait or not marry at all. This would eliminate the need for a prenuptial, which should not even be a pre-requisite for the marriage in the first place.

Now, I have just heard a new twist... DIVORCE INSURANCE! Come on! Will man of this world ever stop thinking of ways to milk our fellow men and women? I think not.

If we are splitting the marriage apart before we even enter into it, is it not surely bound to fail? Is it not just another lie we are living in?

How do you feel about this...? I know I am certainly appalled at the shallowness of such an important part of ones life.
