"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.

How many of you have yahoo and google toolbars installed on your computer? For those of you who do, have you ever noticed anything peculiar about unauthorized changes made to your computer since installing the Google toolbar? I have. The yahoo toolbar has been a useful tool for me, I've used it for a very long time. When I downloaded the Google toolbar things were initially okay but then one day my browser began acting quirky. Spybot notified me of unauthorized registry changes. When I opened a new browser the yahoo toolbar was gone! :eek: I closed the window and then opened a new one, only to have the same thing happen again. So I uninstalled the Google toolbar from my computer. Fast forward a month or so, and I install Mozilla on my computer. I know Mozilla claims to be independent of Google but I read somewhere that Google engineers have been involved with Mozilla's browser upgrades. And when Mozilla was installed the default homepage was Google (which I immediately changed to yahoo). Today I look up and my bookmarks icon is not in my toolbar. Now the only way to access yahoo bookmarks when using Firefox is to go to yahoo bookmarks. Or I just open a IE browser where wa-la the toolbar with the yahoo bookmarks icon is available.

It's Google, I tell ya! They want to take over everything. Will Google succeed in taking over the the cyber world????
 

"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.

Yahoo search is fvcking garbage compared to google.

Google returns more results for whatever it is you are searching for.
