How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's great! For you. Not them. But...obviously you know your shit.

Yeah, that! It must be nice to get the confirmation, too. Yay aurelia!!

Ugh, scrappy, that's the pits.

Side question: do other people say "the pits"? I said it at work one time and the Young People thought it was hilarious.

Jesse, I've heard it but I don't think I ever say it?

Aurelia, go you, I guess? :)

Did they mock you by calling you Sky Pilot of Yesteryear?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I would start using "the pits" if people would call me that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've used the phrase, never had anyone react to it that way.

I did once use the phrase, "not enough room to swing a cat," which had someone screaming with laughter and grabbing a piece of paper to write it down ....

I wish!!

I realize I like it because it's not so vulgar. Not that I'm not happy to be vulgar, but I do like to have the distinction between things that are the pits and things that fucking suck, you know?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Always makes me think of Erma Bombeck.

YES! I loved that book when I was a kid. That and Hints from Heloise were my go-to books at my grandmother's.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I'm trying to find a local dentist that accepts my Massachusetts insurance and struggling a lot. I might have to wait until I get a job and go about getting company insurance? I haven't been to the dentist in a couple of years and I can tell my teeth are a mess (despite taking excellent care of them, which is infuriating)... so definitely not a trip I want to take without *some* kind of insurance.
