"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.

Ok... I assumed this was just really bad tendonitis. I’ve had it on and off for over a year and managed to work thru it. Yesterday did a tricep workout and went golfing. This morning the pain in my elbow was brutal and I now have a golf ball sized lump on the elbow bone. Sent a picture to a doctor I’m friends with he said elbow bursitis and will see me Monday.

has anyone had this and is it possible to keep active and working out with it? It really hurts doing triceps.... chest it’s tolerable but some discomfort... back, legs, shoulders, biceps really no pain. It looks like it takes 4-8 weeks to heal with rest. I have never taken off more than two weeks In my life.... what would you guys recommend?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You have to work around it and not do exercises that bother it, which means by necessity you will have to stop doing those things for as long as it takes to heal. Or deal with it getting worse endlessly.

Hi Machine,
In my early thirties I suffered what we call "Tennis Elbow"after getting too
enthusiastic about Squash....With rest it took a month or so to disappear but several years
before it completely went away.Every time I played Squash again it recurred,eventually had to
give the game away.

Take your Vitamin D WITH Vitamin K. Dr. Eric Berg on YT tells people to take 20,000 IU's a day but I never take that much. Some turmeric to top it off seems to be helping as well. It's in my heel but I am getting pretty good relief from it. I'm also using prescription orthotics as much as possible.

Vitamin K2, not K...and make sure it's MK-7 form not MK-4.

this is annoying AF! Doctor said I have scar tissue in my elbow... said this can irritate the bursar sac and lead to bursitis. Still working around it... but planning surgery this winter to get this joint cleaned out.

Yeah I know what you mean...I have a degenerative elbow with a loose body in it that causes issue sometimes...usually as long as I am careful with the exercises I do it's good...no push ups, overhead tri extensions, etc...

Getting old kinda sucks.
 

"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.

Hi Machine,
You are doing all the right things....Takes several years to repair (If ever)
Gelatine will help.
