BUT FIRST I'll take the trash out to the trash can, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox, I'll address a few bills.... Yes, now where is the checkbook? Oops....there's only one check left. Where did I put the extra checks? Oh, there is my empty cup from last night on the desk. I'm going to look for those checks...

BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back in the kitchen. Head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice the flowers need a drink of water, I put the cup on the counter and there's my extra pair of glasses on the kitchen counter. What are they doing here? I'll just put them away....

BUT FIRST, I need to water those flowers. I head for the door and....! Someone left the TV remote in the wrong spot. OK, I'll put the remote away and water the flowers....

BUT FIRST, I need to find those checks....

BY THE END OF THE DAY: The oil in the car has not been changed, the bills are still unpaid, the cup is still in the sink, the checkbook still has only one check left, I've LOST my car keys.... and, when I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because.... I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY!!

I realize this condition is serious....I'd get help....

BUT FIRST I think I'll check my e-mail!

By the way, the doctor told me that this disease is highly contagious and that it can be transmitted by e-mail. So if you want to avoid AAADD, don't read this e-mail. (I meant to put this warning at the beginning of the message but I got distracted.... Sorry....!:)

An 80-year-old-couple are having problems remembering things, so they decide to see their doctor to find out if anything is wrong with them. They see the doctor and tell him about the memory problems they've been having. After a check-up, the doctor tells them that they are physically fine but might want to start writing things down to help them remember things. They thank the doctor and leave.
Later that night while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.

"Where are you going?" asks his wife.

"To the kitchen," he replies.

"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" she asks. "Sure," he says.

She says, "Maybe you should write it down so you'll remember." "I'll remember," he says "Well, I would also like some strawberries on top," she says. "You had better write that down cause I know you'll forget." "I can remember that," he says, as he begins to loose his patience. "You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." "I would also like whip cream on top,"she adds, "I know you will forget that so you better write it down." Hopping mad he says, "I don't need to write that down! I will remember just fine."

He fumes into the kitchen to get the food. After about 20 minutes he returns from the kitchen and hands her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment and says, "You forgot my toast."
