Mike your story about the wallet reminded me of something I read on another thread in CS.....
A.A.A.D.D - DO YOU 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 rubbish bin under the table, and notice that the bin 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 cheque book off the table, and see that there is only one cheque left.
My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water.
I put the Coke 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 study 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 Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque 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 damn 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-mails....
Do me a favor. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
But betwwen us mike I reckon someone is taking up your brain space................

A travel guide publisher has chosen Belfast as one of its top 12 international destinations for 2009.
Frommer's said that in little more than a decade, Belfast had been "transformed from a fractured city into a hot city-break destination".
It said the city was "moving fast towards its 19th-century accolade of the Paris of the north".
"The army checkpoints that encircled the city centre during the Troubles are a thing of the past," it said.
"Towering above the city, it's the glass dome of the sophisticated new Victoria Square shopping centre that's the real emblem of the city's renaissance."
The other destinations on the list were:
Istanbul Berlin Cape Town Saqqara, Egypt Washington DC Cambodia Waiheke Island, New Zealand Cartagena, Colombia Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada Civil Rights Trail from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, US Lassen Volcano National Park, California
(duet with ann-margaret) (words & music by tepper - bennett) She loves me, she loves me not She loves me, she loves me not She loves me, she loves me, she loves me The lady loves me and it shows In spite of the way she turns up her nose Im her ideal, her hearts desire Under that ice shes burning like fire Shed like to cuddle up to me Shes playing hard to get The lady loves me, but she doesnt know it yet
The gentleman has savoir-faire As much as an elephant or a bear Id like to take him for a spin Back to the zoo to visit his kin Hes got about as much appeal as a soggy cigarette The lady loathes him but he doesnt know it yet
The ladys got a crush on me The gentlemans crazy obviously The ladys dying to be kissed The gentleman needs a psychiatrist Id rather kiss a rattlesnake Or play russian roulette The lady loves me, but she doesnt know it yet
Shes falling fast shes on the skids Both of his heads are flipping their lids Tonight shell hold me in her arms Id rather be holding hydrogen bombs Will someone tell this romeo Im not his juliet The lady loves me, but she doesnt know it yet
She wants me Like poison ivy Needs me Like a hole in the head Everyone can see shes got it bad Hes mad! The gentleman is an egotist
Oh yes she loves me Dig that shrinking violet Oh she really loves me Heres one gal youll never get She lo- lo- loves me Would you like to make a bet I said the lady loves me The gentlemans all wet
Look a here girls I'm telling you now They call me "Lovin' Dan" I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long I'm a sixty-minute man
If you don't believe I'mm all that I say Come up and take my hand When I let you go you'll cry "Oh yes," "He's a sixty-minute man
There'll be 15 minutes of kissing Then you'll holler "please don't stop" There'll be 15 minutes of teasing And 15 minutes of squeezing And 15 minutes of blowing my top
If your man ain't treating you right Come up and see ol' Dan I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
