Drug abuse: The use of a drug for a purpose other than that for which it is normally prescribed or recommended.
Every evening, I let a wave of irritation wash over me whenever my husband pops his head out of the bedroom after he has taken his sleeping pill, wanting either another Mt. Dew (yes, honey, drink caffeine as you are trying to go to sleep) or chat (that pill lowers ALL inhibitions).

I like to think of myself as humane rather than chicken.

And when you call Harmony for advice, she calls her friend Google.
Google is knowledgeable, funny and she'll never steal your boyfriend.
(now that I've reread that, maybe I'm the one abusing drugs)
