A simple, yet frighteningly accurate description of a malady that has reached epidemic proportions – nearly everyone I know is suffering from it. Perhaps someone close to you also is afflicted with Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder or AAADD
My doctor tells me that the best treatment available for AAADD is to hire servants to do the things I forget to do and to keep track of the stuff I’ll misplace, then I can just lol around the house feeling like I’m being useful and keeping busy and things will get done in spite of me. Medicare won’t cover that treatment; I wonder if I could train the dogs for this… I’ll try that right after I water the flowers.

Oh, yes. My husband has this. I haven’t, of course. I think he must have moved my glasses without telling me. He does it all the time.

LOL! I’m always scolding the dog for locking the door when I take the trash out without taking my keys.

I find that having a personal Sherpa and a French Maid helps.

I spent most of my childhood growing up in St Albans, which is very near the town of Boreham Wood. My dad was a member of a film makers club, using cine, and would have shown his documentaries of El Salvador etc at Boreham Wood’s Film Makers club too. There are a lot of great little clubs and groups like this around the UK. Britain is home to the gifted amateur. As for the ‘attention deficit disorder’ ,age related or not, I think I’ve had bouts of that all my life.

Me too Richard, but they do seem to be startlingly more frequent recently!
