Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YES! I loved that book when I was a kid. That and Hints from Heloise were my go-to books at my grandmother's.

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.

I think a lot of bad tooth stuff is genetic, zuisa. Also, I have friends here who love the dental school so it's definitely worth a look!

I just chatted my FauxSon on Facebook because I haven't actually spoken to or seen him all winter and I'm trying to communicate with 3-D meat space people in real time more often (though a Facebook chat doesn't really count, I guess). Anyway, he told me he does follow my Facebook feed so that he knows I'm alive and well.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
sigh ... I'd seen a dress I kind of liked in a magazine and they have a site where you can check on clothes they show. So I went to check it out and found the dress. The only size available is a 2; out of curiosity I checked the size guide and found that they consider a 10 XL, 12 XXL, and 14 XXXL. Huh?

Considering that size 14 is the average size of US women, that's kind of hilarious. Looks like they'd have to go into the Greek alphabet to indicate my size.
