Ugh, what condition do you have again? I know you’ve spoken about it some previously.

I wonder if I have some sort of nerve thing. When I wear tighter pants, it sets off my back pain. I’m realizing I need to buy a lot more dress pants about 1-2 inches bigger in the waist.

I have so many different issues at this point that it isn't worth listing. Let's just say that not much in my body works well. The one part of my body that never hurts is my elbow (unless I bang it on something).

Nerve pain is awful. Time to let comfort be your guide instead of fashion. Bring on the bigger pants!

I hate this as well but am I guilty as charged when I do this while listening to The Rewatchables podcast while going for a walk through my neighborhood? Like does a neighborhood count? And tbh, I rarely pass people. And doubt you can hear it if you are 20-25 feet away or more.

That does not count. You are good.

Sometimes I answer calls even when I know or at least expect it will be a scammer. Not often, but sometimes.

A lot of times when I do I answer "Hola!" rather than hello and then I use the other three Spanish words I know on repeat. The scammers typically hang up right away.

Well today I received my first ever scam call in Spanish! I could piece enough of it together to tell there was talk of court and the police.

Your nights of debauchery in Tijuana are finally catching up with you.

When I was 14 my family took a trip first to San Francisco then down the PCH, through TJ and to Ensenada. That is as much time as I've spent in TJ. When I lived in San Diego I never went at all. I was over 21 when I started living there and saw TJ as a place for 18-20 year olds to go and drink.
 
Someone might have already said this, but I cannot stand the phrase "out of pocket".

"Jim won't be in the meeting, he is out of pocket today."

What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Why not just say "unavailable", or "out today", or just "out"?

I haven’t really heard it used that way. I get it when you’re talking about how much money insurance or whatever is going to pay and how much you’ll be left paying “out of pocket” but to describe a person out for the day? Yeah that’s annoying.

Yeah it is a thing in business circles for whatever reason. Irritating AF.
 
So when did the center lane, aka the suicide lane, become the stop and make a ****ing phone call lane? I've seen it three times in the last week where a person is just stopped in the center lane clearly just there to have a phone call. One of them was a motorcycle.
