You check your mail and there are 2 receipts for certified letters, you check and thankfully they are ONLY from the IRS, whew!

Thanks and God bless us all, :praying

You have no money, no job and little food, but are eternally grateful to be free of the insanity!

You wake up in the morning with all utilities on, and your vehicle isn't missing from the driveway!

You sleep the whole night thru, have no nightmares, don't have to change the sheets in the middle of it, wake up feeling refreshed..... and you wonder if there's something wrong with you because a peaceful night just doesn't feel right.

You trust the judgement of starangers on the street, more than your own.

I knew i was involved with an addict when he said he was going to apply to work at a place that had fired him a year before (same owner), and I thought to myself, "Do 17-year-olds really need to be told not to put applications in at places they were fired from?"

You still think, all the time, "this is too good to be true."

You check the towels before you wash them, to make sure they haven't been used to clean off the chicken.

"Two Beers" Yup uh huh two an hour ago and two an hour before that

When you go to make Penne and Vodka sauce and end up dumping half the bottle in there because the sauce just does not taste right! WATER :wtf2

When you're brushing your teeth, reach for the Scope, get a mouthful of blue-food-coloring and water......

And you believe the story about how it must have been a problem with the manufacturer.

you find his car at a local bar, unlocked with his wedding band in the ashtray, go back home, wait for him to get home, when he finally walks through the door (after beating himself in the head because he can't find his ring) he's so blitzed he's literally CROSS EYED!

when ...

... that wedding band he SWORE to you he positively knew he put in the kitchen junk drawer - or you found it first and threw it in the trash because you're a vindictive b*tch - shows up in his Dockers' front pocket six month's later when he puts them on to go out to dinner. (true story!)
