For Gracie and all the Ol' Folks. I found out why I've been so tired lately.
Anyone else have this problem?

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 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's a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter
The flowers don't have enough water,
there's 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....

I'm a bit melancholic today, let's look on my clip:

Interesting but more raunchy than most Americans would be comfortable with in a public setting. . .possibly even illegal?

Ah. I've understood. There are no restrictions on movies at Internet in Russia, only on TV. Offcourse, government can forbit whole resource with illegal content - but it relate only to some terroristic or anti-government sites..

Ah. I've understood. There are no restrictions on movies at Internet in Russia, only on TV. Offcourse, government can forbit whole resource with illegal content - but it relate only to some terroristic or anti-government sites..

It isn't really that much different here and content, even during so-called 'family hours' has been including more gratuitous sex and violence on TV, in the movies, in music videos, etc. than what the public would have tolerated even 30 years ago. I am not sure if there is any iron clad laws covering internet content though I'm pretty sure child porn on the internet (or anywhere else) is illegal and inciting to riot or whatever would probably fall within some law as illegal.

OK. Anyone know anything about nose bleeds? Lately, I've been getting sudden nose bleeds, only on one side. They come on quite suddenly and are quite voluminous. Any ideas? I've staunched this evening's flow and hope it won't reoccur after I go to sleep.

I don't know for sure GW, but I do know that if you don't know what caused it and it reoccurs, you should see your doctor or get it checked out in the E.R. or urgent care. It's probably something simple like a virus but best to know for sure.

Interesting but more raunchy than most Americans would be comfortable with in a public setting. . .possibly even illegal?

Underground life... Somewhere illegal, but are American bikers really more lawful?

A large portion of American "bikers" are professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc) in legitimate motorcycle clubs, only a small minority are the outlaw bikers, the rest are simply bike lovers.

They have to be successful business people. Harleys are great, but those things cost big bucks to keep running.

Tell me about it. The battery is dead in my FXD35, and looking at $130 for a new one. It was a whole lot cheaper for parts and misc Harley stuff when I worked for Harley. Used to get a nice discount. As of now I still haven't bought a new one. Riding has just really lost a lot of it's appeal after 50 years of it. I have so many other things that take priority over $130 than buying a new battery for my bike.

Welcome back 007. I can take you off the MIA list.

Yes, I think it similar... And also we have a law to forbid of gay propaganda during this "family hours" - a point of critic of Russia from "civilized countries", but it make conditions here a bit more healthy...

Yeah, I agree with Montro we've stepped a wee bit over the line into political opinion here. So I'll give us both a quick WHAP with the feather duster and we'll leave it at that.

OK. Anyone know anything about nose bleeds? Lately, I've been getting sudden nose bleeds, only on one side. They come on quite suddenly and are quite voluminous. Any ideas? I've staunched this evening's flow and hope it won't reoccur after I go to sleep.

Maybe you're going through puberty. Again.
Seriously, many things can cause nosebleed in older people. High blood pressure, use of blood thinners, daily doses of aspirin, etc.

Here's one article from Web MD.

What are the symptoms of nosebleeds in the elderly? | Reference.com

Well, that certainly describes what's happening to me to a T. My BP is at the high end of normal, so I think it might be more likely related to our dry climate, or maybe my frequent use of ibuprofen. I'll have to look into this some more.
Thanks!

Started Monday on a Bluestone patio project. I almost have all the plant material removed and grading complete on the 26 x 25 area. All by hand in 90 degree weather. Wednesday I will complete the grading by bringing some fill dirt and do some compacting. My middle daughter was here last week and the youngest will be here in another day or two. Super busy with all that and hiring an attorney to sue my prior employer. My last two checks are being held hostage. He wants me to sign papers, which I can only conclude absolve him of wrong doing. Not happening.

How are you compacting and leveling your patio area? I hoped we'd get to the driveswy this summer, but things are going a lot more slowly than I'd expected. Damned old people!

The compacting is a combination of foot tamping followed by a hand tamper in two inch lifts. It seems very stable at this point, but I will run a vibratory compactor over it Saturday. The leveling is with a level, screed board and a string line.

Going to a birthday party with the little one tomorrow. It's for the girl who used to be our next door neighbor, until about a year ago. She's a year younger than the little one. We miss having them next door, it was so nice to be able to just walk for a minute and have someone for the little one to play with on most days.

My next A&P exam is on Thursday. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet; I still have plenty of studying to do.

How did your speech turn out?

I'm getting ready to do both a driveway and a barn. I was planning on making a roller to compact the soil and subsequent layers of stone and gravel. Leveling isn't too critical with the driveway, but the barn will need to be level because we plan to eventually put in heated concrete in a portion of the floor.

I'm a bit melancholic today, let's look on my clip:

Interesting but more raunchy than most Americans would be comfortable with in a public setting. . .possibly even illegal?

Ah. I've understood. There are no restrictions on movies at Internet in Russia, only on TV. Offcourse, government can forbit whole resource with illegal content - but it relate only to some terroristic or anti-government sites..

It isn't really that much different here and content, even during so-called 'family hours' has been including more gratuitous sex and violence on TV, in the movies, in music videos, etc. than what the public would have tolerated even 30 years ago. I am not sure if there is any iron clad laws covering internet content though I'm pretty sure child porn on the internet (or anywhere else) is illegal and inciting to riot or whatever would probably fall within some law as illegal.

Yes, I think it similar... And also we have a law to forbid of gay propaganda during this "family hours" - a point of critic of Russia from "civilized countries", but it make conditions here a bit more healthy...

Aaaaaaand now we're going into politics.

Oh, sorry, I'm stopping now at inch to politics

It hasn't been graded yet, but I'll guess that it will get me a C, maybe a B if I'm lucky.

Pretty much all of us stray over the line just a wee bit at least once or twice. No foul. No harm.

Good morning all you happy people has everyone had their coffee yet that's great weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Good morning everybody. Slept in. Enjoyed sleeping in. Hope for an uneventful day after a very busy week. Just a bit of laundry that I intend to do every day but never actually get around to doing. Straighten up the house a bit for our luncheon and movie with Aunt Betty tomorrow. Hombre will need to make a quick trip to the store for the tortillas. And then just enjoy the day.

High 90's projected for today, cools down to low 90's tomorrow, and then we may see our first 100 degree temps next week though 100's not not that common in Albuquerque. June is often our hottest month.
