"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.

I just got my electricity back on after losing it early this morning. Apart from a branch down in the back yard and some moderate flooding, I escaped unscathed.

I live on top of a hill on the edge of a golf course. One mile down at the bottom of the hill is a park with a stream running through it and eventually going under the main road. The entire park was underwater and the stream was a raging torrent. It washed out part of the road.

Aside from some trees down and some flooding, we made out pretty well here in the northern NYC suburbs.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Nothing really happened down here in southern NJ. Definitely lots of rain and wind, but we kept electricity the whole time and flooding has been minimal. Surrounding areas have flooded horribly, but we got lucky.

There were a bunch of tornadoes in the area too. Earthquake, hurricane, and tornado all in the same week. The odds of that must be extremely rare. Add in a volcano and we're set!

I'm near Jersey City and I woke up at 4am to strong wind gusts then went back to sleep. Today I saw a small branch on the ground and the park a few blocks away is like a lake, which is not unusual. Overall I think this hurricane was a dud.

I wouldn't quite say that. 1.3 million still without power (a large percentage won't be restored till next week). Several deaths occured and mega-millions of property damage has resulted.

Our infrastructure up here isn't built for hurricanes, and the trees are habituated to a certain wind level. When the ground is soaked and the wind kicks up, trees that have been fine for decades come crashing down.

On my street there are 5 houses that had trees fall directly on them. So relative to huge disasters with scores of lives lost one could say it wasn't
sh!t, but the damage level is still massive and recovery will go on for months.
 

"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'm just disappointed that this took up more time on my tv than Somalia or Gaza.

That cvnt Irene took away the rain we were supposed to get. Made it hot as balls. 115 degrees with the heat index.

I went out and did yardwork for awhile. Helluva tan. Smoked a cigar with the Mrs. afterwards.
