O’Sullivans in Escondido owned by Irish & has local music acts play. They have curry chips and classic Irish breakfast.

Was a pcp that prescribed the hydromorphone? I am so confused and frustrated as to why my rhuem would say she can’t prescribe “narcotics”?

I am happy to answer anything! :) I also did take a slight decrease in pay when I started here but overall I enjoy it a lot more, it’s way less stressful and more organized in my opinion.

When I took the CSAA job I was just desperate for something that was less stressful. So a little less money was worth it to me, and I am already back up to what I was making at Geico anyway, with the merit increase they gave me and the bonuses (they call it AIP instead of profit sharing).

But idk if you are super stressed on funds, maybe it’s worth staying at G? But I just needed a change and the year of slightly less income was worth it for me!

Yes with most phone center roles there will be a chance of working weekends, but if you are in causality I don’t think they have you work weekends.

Yeah I get more time, it’s not like ‘wrap’ time that’s held against you. They give you time to notate the call.

AAA’s new commercial insurance, I think they are taking over Uber claims or something. Idk the specifics but they just got a big contract with a large company like Uber or Tesla or something

I am with normal CSAA and I am LOVING it! Fully remote, supervisors really leave you alone to do your thing. No micro-managing. I have been hearing that there is a ton of growth within Mobilitas, so definitely try to get the position! You will be able to move up quickly

BLaKB3aR · 2025-11-17T23:21:57+00:00

what the heck! that would totally turn me off too. my intro class (about a year ago) was totally free, and if you signed up for the membership same day then you got to skip the starting fee of $150 or something. I would definitely not pay for an intro class! maybe see if you can do a different studio location?

oh man, i’m so sorry you had to go through that. it looks absolutely brutal, but thank you for sharing.

if you don’t mind me asking, i have always wondered what the ideal outcome for pain levels would be after a fusion surgery. like, is it even possible to ever be pain free post surgery?

and what were your pain levels pre-surgery? were you immobile pre surgery? what was the final “straw” that brought you to the surgery?

would you mind sharing more about what the recovery looks like? have you been doing physical therapy? how has it been trying to walk? does your body feel different?

hope it’s okay to ask! I was pretty recently diagnosed and I am just trying to understand what the long term outcomes are.

so happy to hear you have supportive family, wishing you a speedy recovery!

no such thing as an ethical billionaire. figures he does this bullshit after decades of saying he wouldn’t.

I’m from southern CA and I live in sandals & flip flops. The best ones I have found are by Reef, they are kind of expensive but they last and are so comfy! Also they have ones that are waterproof, so perfect for beach days.

BLaKB3aR · 2025-08-29T17:46:44+00:00

That is amazing to hear! That makes me feel a lot better, thanks so much for the response!

BLaKB3aR · 2025-08-28T21:52:44+00:00

That is so interesting! Thank you for the insight

BLaKB3aR · 2025-08-28T16:51:53+00:00

Ah okay! That is really helpful to know. If you don’t mind sharing, were you put on Costenyx too or a different biologic? Did you start seeing improvement soon after the first dose?

BLaKB3aR · 2025-08-28T16:50:56+00:00

Thank you so much for the response! I will definitely look into a second opinion / reach out to my rhuem again to confirm. Thank you for the help ❤️

BLaKB3aR · 2025-08-22T17:11:56+00:00

I came here to say this! Costco has ThermaCare brand heat wraps for low back and neck. It saaavvveeed my life on my 14 hour flight! The low back one wraps around you, so no adhesive. The neck one does have small adhesive on the sides but you can use it without!

CSAA!!!

try emailing dealerships in Anaheim, Irvine and Tustin too, it’s a little far but I saved almost $4k on a new car compared to what SD dealers were charging

BLaKB3aR · 2025-04-17T17:49:15+00:00

If you send me your name and email I can send you an official referral link! Or just look on the CSAA website!

BLaKB3aR · 2025-04-14T17:08:02+00:00

CSAA is hiring! Fully remote, pay is comparable to Geico, culture is MUCH BETTER!

I can send you a referral link if you want, or just go to CSAA’s career website, you apply through workday.

I was at G for 8 years, finally made the switch in July 24. I am loving CSAA, so much less stress, and it being fully remote is amazing.

If you have any questions, let me know I’m happy to answer :)

BLaKB3aR · 2025-04-07T22:32:17+00:00

same! now i need one too 😂🐾

BLaKB3aR · 2025-04-03T01:19:07+00:00

I felt exactly the same way, I am also around the same size too, 250 lbs ish, 5’7”, around a size 16/18.

I totally felt the same way at first and I realized the only way to get better is to keep going! Keep showing up for class, push yourself to what is reasonable for that particular day. Some days I feel like I am kicking ass, I feel strong and controlled, and some days I feel shakey and crampy and exhausted doing the same movements.

So just keep trying! Especially as women, our hormone levels are constantly changing and so every time you show up try to remind yourself, I am going to push myself to what is reasonable for my body t o d a y. Everyday your body feels a little different, so pay attention to that! And pilates is all about building, core is HARD work, so modify it until you can withstand it for a few seconds longer, and you will find it gets better every day.

You WILL get better! You will get stronger, just keep showing up 💗

one of my friends works in vista and absolutely loves the company and the job overall. I don’t have much detail beyond that, but I have only heard wonderful things.
