Quotes about:

• One of the most important things I learned is forging a rapport with someone at your insurance company. Know their names.

" You can also always go to the ER to get whatever you need to tide you over for a few days.

• Pretty much everyone hates high school. It's a measure of your humanity, I suspect. If you enjoyed high school, you were probably a psychopath or a cheerleader. Or possibly both. Those things aren't mutually exclusive, you know. I've tried to block out the memory of my high school years, but no matter how hard you try, it's always with you, like an unwanted hitchhiker. Or herpes. I assume.
