that describes my stepdad to a t. He lost his mind and took off from home for one more drunken escapade a year ago and it almost killed him. He doesn't remember where he was headed as soon as he leaves a room now.

But the fucking fags......he's so deparate for a smoke with his dementia he picks up butts off the street and public ashtrays...ugggggggggghhhhh
