I've been spanky. I can't go to that store anymore.

I still can't believe they have that smoking bar at the Wells Fargo Center. That place is a throwback. I don't smoke much at all but I do when I go to Sixers games.

See, I've read about a lot of people, (not me), who get annoyed when people say " I know just what you're going through." Now granted some of these people grab the opportunity to talk about how THEY felt when their father, mother, baby died, they got cancer, their boat was repossessed, whatever and try to focus the attention on themselves. But I doubt it's what anyone wants to hear when they're going through a difficult situation. "I can't imagine" isn't any more helpful, but at least acknowledges that this person's grief is unique.

I dunno. I think sometimes when people are going through difficult times, it helps to know they're not alone. I do think you need to have a real comparable experience to take that liberty.

It seems like it would just remind me that I don't have to imagine whatever it is.

You two are weird.

Says the guy who lives in Florida

When people give a phone number using an unconventional cadence. Like instead of of saying 407 - 546-1859 or whatever, they say it something like 40-7546-185-9 or something weird. Always throws me off. There’s a standard, people.

Corollary: When I get meeting invites and people just list all the numbers of the passcode with no separators: 464644874. Add some dashes, people.

When people get in minor fender benders, cars still drivable, yet stop there in the road to exchange info, etc. in the middle of freaking rush hour traffic. Get off the road, people.

when you are reading a phone number with normal cadence (123 456 7890) and they say "OK" during your pauses, and end up not hearing your next sequence

Bucky what was it like when people used to use letters in their phone #s? Like dial me at 215 prefix TF - 4 - 9873.

you used to specifically say "Area Code" if it was someone non-local. If not, it was only seven-digit dialing!

And then you could run the whole sequence together pretty much, with only a brief pause after the first triplet. I was the IVyridge exchange, so everything started with "I V"

you'd say "eye vee 3 0720"
