This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My grandpa has dementia, so now when I call him, the conversation starts slow as he tries to remember where I'm at in life. Most of the time during that, he randomly launches into a discussion about some subject that he tells me all about. The last time we talked, I got a rundown of red wing hockey from 75-79, including community events. I've never seen this man watch hockey, only basketball and football.
My father has dementia. At some point it becomes less about making the best of what's left, and instead finding all of the poop footprints he tracked around the entire house after stepping in his own shit.
Damn, I'm sorry to hear that.
