"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

For any of u guys who dont know what it is, it is just basicly the shrinking, or destruction of muscle tissue. I was wondering if anything know foods or drinks slows or stops growth of muscles or actually reverses it. I heard something about Mountain Dew causing muscular dystrophy? Probably a load of crap, but its got me wondering. Can foods or drinks cause muscular dystrophy?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Sorry bud, cant answer your question, very interesting topic though.

At a guess.. i dont think that there would be anything that could stop the growth, but im sure that there would be things that slow it. I suppose that if you can promote faster muscle growth.. you could do the opposite to an extent.. not sure.. just rambling now.. hahha... great topic..

interested to see if anyone else has more knowledge!

Sure. Mountain Dew - as well as other carbonated beverages, store bought drinking water, ginger ale, and the like all contain the solvent Toluene and Xylene. They're both brain-seeking solvents which cause Alzheimer and/or MS disease and muscular dystrophy.

As for the amount of each you'd need to possibly get one of these diseases, I'm not sure - but I know that if you google it long enough, you'll find research that can answer the question further.

Yeah - but in what quantities? This is just another example of how a person or organization could potentially take facts/numbers that could be interpreted in a variety of ways, then paint some sensationalistic, paparazzi-style 'expose' to mislead people.


We are always inhaling, ingesting and absorbing materials that are potentially toxic to us. There are moelcule of radioactive isotopes/elements in the air we breathe. You see your white stucco walls and pretty painted ceilings? Asbestos baby. The hamburger you had today? From a cow that ate grass that is downriver from a waste processing plant. The lake you swam in during Spring Break with your pals? Also 'contaminated' with trace elements of toxins. The simple fact of life is that we're exposed to elements that are potentially lethal to us.... IN THE RIGHT DOSES. There may be a couple of parts PER MILLION (BILLION?) acetone in our drinks, but it's not enough to kill us, unless we drink BATHTUBS of Mountain Dew every day for the next 30 years.


So quite worrying about idiotic shyt like this, and just enjoy life. Stay active, try to eat a balance diet, and that's that. You'll live as long as your genetics are designed to let you live.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
