SYMPTOMS OF THE MOMENT
Courtesy of Darbie Bufford 
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 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 dang 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....

VALENTINE'S DAY THOUGHT OF THE MOMENT

LANGUAGE LESSON OF THE MOMENT

Mrs. Brown was going out for the day. She locked the house and tacked a note for the mailman on the door: "Nobody home, don't leave anything."

When she got back that night, she found her door broken open and her house ransacked. On the note she had left, she found a message had been added: "Thanks! We haven't left anything!"
Many of you have told me you are seeking deeper meaning in your life, trying to take more time for inner reflection, on a more spiritual path, mulling over your purpose or where you want to go in this new decade. All of these small, but mighty books have been recommended to me by special people, are quick reads and offer lots of juicy "food for thought" for your journey. Happy Reading!

Eat, Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
Breakfast with Buddha by Roland Merullo
Enlightment for Ididots by Anne Cushman
God on a Harley by Joan Brady
Corporate Shaman by Richard Whiteley

BAD RELATIONSHIP OF THE MOMENT
Gravely ill, a man went to the doctor with his wife. After the examination, the physician motioned for the wife to meet him in the hallway. "Your husband is very sick," the doctor said, "but there are three things that can do to ensure his survival: First ,fix him three healthful, delicious meals a day, Next, give him a stress-free environment, and don't complain about anything. Finally, make passionate love to him everyday."

On the drive home, the worried husband asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"I'm sorry," she said, "You are not going to make it."
CHILD'S PERSPECTIVE OF THE MOMENT

A little three year old boy is sitting on the toilet.  His mother thinks he has been in there too long so she goes in to see what's up.  The little boy is sitting on the toilet reading a book. About every 10 seconds or so he puts the book down, grips onto the toilet seat with his left hand and hits himself on top of the head with his right hand.  HIs mother says, "Billy, are you all right?  You've been in here for awhile?"  Billy says, "I'm fine, mommy.  I just haven't gone poopie yet."  Mother says, "Ok, you can stay here a few more minutes.  But Billy, why are you hitting  yourself on the head?"

Billy says, "Works for ketchup!"

LOVE STORY OF THE MOMENT
Courtesy of Bonnie Bufford
A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a
trans-continental train.

Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.

At 1:00 AM , the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,....... "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."

"I have a better idea", she replied. "Just for tonight let's pretend that we're married."

"Wow! That's a great idea!", he exclaimed.

"Good," she replied. "Get your own damn blanket."

After a moment of silence, ........................he farted.
