"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.

Last year I sprained my ankle hella bad and then it healed up and I never had any probs with it till now it keeps poping and feeling stiff when i'm just walking around. DO you guys have any ankle exersizes that work cause i've done the doctor ones and ones off the net and they hardly help.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Go get orthodics (prolly spelled it wrong). I had sore ankles for a few months, went and got these for my shoes and they feel normal now.

Man, i fvcked my ankles up repeatedly and they just reconstructed 1 last week.

I'm out for 3 months

The pain isn't too bad now, which is good.

I recomend doing everthing possible and avoid surgery

once you sprain it, then it is very sensitive to happen again!, i play football (or as your lot call it 'soccer') :-( loads and i fell badly on my ankle after jumping for the ball, ever since i just need to fall slightly on it and i need a few weeks off, it kills i know but to be honest, i think no matter how much physiotherapy etc. you get on it, it doesn't do much good
