    I believe Churchill said it best when he said.

    We shall go on to the end. We shall regard in France, we shall regard on the seas and oceans, we shall regard with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall regard our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall regard on the beaches, we shall regard on the landing grounds, we shall regard in the fields and in the streets, we shall regard in the hills; we shall never disregard.

    ...not that bad fortunately. however there are times I have something in my hand say, like my glasses, put them down for a moment (like when I am putting on a sweater) and then immediately forget where I left them and begin looking allover the flat for them.

    I was looking for my glasses yesterday...I was holding them in my hand.
    ...worse, one time I had them up on the top of my head and was looking all around for them. I am actually becoming a little worried. I can remember stuff vividly from years past like it was yesterday, in my head "listen" to a complex piece of music (like a symphonic work) without missing one note or phrase, but I put something down somewhere for a moment and next thing, I'm tearing up the flat looking for it.

    I have occasionally searched for my glasses while I was wearing them.

    The short-term memory is the first thing to go, and the short-term memory is the first thing to go.

    A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS!

    Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.

    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 decide to 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 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....

    Do me a favor.
    Forward this message to everyone you know,
    Because I don't remember who I've sent it to.

    Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

    P.S. I don't remember who sent it to me, so if it was you, I'm sorry, just disregard this message

    No, memory is the SECOND thing to go...

    I usually wear clip-on sunglasses outdoors. (Geeky, I know, but they are polarizing.) One time I had them clipped on to the end of my T-shirt sleeve. I was doing something with my other hand when I brushed up against the sunglasses. I quickly brushed the sunglasses right off my sleeve as though something with way too many legs had landed on my shirt. :red:

    LOL! Anything with more than 4 legs crawling on me is cause for alarm. Kitty cats are OK. Dogs allowed as long as they are polite. I was psychologically scarred as a child by waterbugs the size of your thumb taking wing and dive bombing me all night as punishment for disturbing their hiding places. They sounded like B-17 bombers!

    so a thing with six or eight legs would be scary enough for you?

    Thank goodness we don't have winged spiders on this planet, although the jumping spiders can be scary. With insects, it's usually "Come here, insect. I want to talk to you about your future." (SMACK!) The way I dealt with the B-17 cockroach was to wait till it landed, then sailed a book across the room (SPLAT!)

    The comedian Rita Rudner did a routine about bugs. She says in any relationship, it's critically important for one of you to kill bugs. She said that she and her new husband were cowering in terror on top of the bed because there was a spider on the floor. The Woody Allen routine about the "Spider the size of a Buick" in Annie Hall comes to mind...

    We used to call them doodle bugs over here in the UK, and I know what you mean about the sound of them. In fact when dear Adolf started lobbing flying bombs at the UK towards the end of WW2 they were christened doodle bugs as well, because they sounded much the same as the insect doodle bugs (or so I am told).

    Some spiders lay a whole bunch of eggs [probably hundreds but seems like thousands] in their white webs ... little darlings "parachute" all over the place!

    ...just not in the RL world. Wasps and yellow jackets are bad enough to deal with as they can be aggressive, and if you are allergic, deadly enough. A poisonous bug that can fly? Double plus ungood.
