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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yep, not having a bunch of your trade going to feeding and caring for your horses makes a huge difference.

Someone's never owned a boat.

There are 3 idioms that come to mind.

A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into.

A boat owner is only happy twice. When they buy a boat, and when they sell it.

"You don't want to buy a boat. What you want is a friend with a boat!"

A boat for personal use and a boat for trade use are two very different things.
