It does not matter if I do it in a word processor or directly here, I have gotten distracted in both and lost it in both. It happens sometimes.

I do have ADD. I've actually forgot to put take my goods out of my shopping cart, drove 5 miles home to discover I left them at the store. That is what I am talking about, but with a thought in my head. I can lose it quickly.
