Side question: do other people say "the pits"? I said it at work one time and the Young People thought it was hilarious.
Did they mock you by calling you Sky Pilot of Yesteryear?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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 ....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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?

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.

Dental school?
ETA I mean to go to as a patient, not a student. Unless you really want to, of course. Anyway, I hear they are inexpensive and do good work

Our wings are not tired.
zuisa, I use the dental school at Nova University. Cheaper than the copay with my insurance, and they are simply awesome.

Huh, I got over a hundred likes on a tweet. Not a big deal, but as someone people generally don't like it's kinda weird.
