Searcher41: said.....was told I would never survive "out there" and before long, I would sink into total depravity and commit fornication, etc., etc., etc.....
Your right! When a person leaves/gets kicked out,.............all the dubs expect to see you go downhill from there!
They expect to see a doobie hanging off your lip, a whore under each arm, heading off to a motel.(frankly I wouldn't spend money on a room)
When I see a dub out in public and they see me, they always watch and seem puzzeled that I look and act like the same guy they knew.
I always make sure I have my happy face on when they see me.....just to confuse them. I'M supposed to be hurt and sad and wanting back in........BWAAAAAAAAH!
