Word choice, Tx, word choice. ;)

One has got to be more careful than usual when posting here. :p

Why are some people so stupid?

God, I so want to pull my hair out on this one.

Because without the stupid people we wouldn't seem as smart. :cool:

Although I agree with that 100%, it's just too frustrating sometimes. *sigh*

Agreed.

Just take solace in the fact that you are, always have been, and always will be smarter then they are. :D

Yes, I'd very much like to go to my favorite seafood restaurant for Mother's Day dinner. But do you have to come, too?
 
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 mailbox 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 cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1
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 den where it belongs, but first I'll
water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but 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 checkbook,

- 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.

Ya know, Fem, if this is your work and original, you have a short magazine article here for which real publications pay thousands, and that millions of people read. In the States there's one called Parade that is inserted into the Sunday editions of hundreds of NPs nationwide. I would not be a bit surprised if they snapped this up. Readers Digests has little shorts, too, I believe

Maybe some others here with more publishing experience can back me up. They may recommend that you take this post down and send it in, in fact.

I'm serious.

:) :rose:
