"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

All the talk on the business news stations is that oil and gas might get considerably lower.
Worldwide demand has to pick up at some point - people keep cranking out more people. Those people want to drive cars, use plastics, etc.
Fully replacing non-renewable fossil fuels with renewables is going to take a while... and I think that timeframe will stretch out even further - I think $150/barrel oil and $4.50 a gallon gas gave alternatives urgency that has greatly diminished.
I think oil and gas are due for at least one more big run-up. So how does one profit from that?
Dividend paying oil-company stocks? Energy ETFs?
 

"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.

I've been thinking a lot about this myself. I think oil is going to come back with a vengeance once the economies recover. Oil is NOT going to stay at $40/barrel forever. I don't know much about investing in oil myself.

According to the 60 minutes special last night on oil, barrels have to sell at 55 dollars to cover the cost of the country(Saudi Arabia). Eventually if the prices continue at what they are now, they will eventually spike back higher than they normally should be.
