Hurrican Rita, a Catagory 5 hurricane appears to be heading right for me in Corpus Christi(According to the Weatherman) We have a mandatory evacuation for this county. Anyone else close to the gulf??
"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.
Hurricane Rita..

"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.

It's not going to hit you... just wait and see, it'll turn a bit to the northeast and come right back at us here in Louisiana...

it most likley wont go to louisiana at this point...but yea im in houston....all the new orelans evacuees had to be evacuated out of here....how ironic
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

FOR OFFICIAL PURPOSES... A PRESSURE OF 898 MB IS ASSUMED...
WHICH NOW MAKES RITA THE THIRD MOST INTENSE HURRICANE IN TERMS OF
PRESSURE IN THE ATLANTIC BASIN.
That's "most intense" as in the most in recorded history.

We are evacuating tommarow, Rita makes landfall late Friday/early Saturday.
I'm leaving in about 4 hours. Usually I stay and stick them out, but this time it is just too crazy. I live on Galveston and the sea wall is only 14 feet high. The waves are supposed to be around 50 feet even before the hurricane hits. I hope I have a home when I come back.

Damn, all these hurricanes are really kicking the southern states in the b@lls this year...
Hope it goes OK for you guys.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

My best thoughts go out to you people near the hurricane, and hopefully you stay safe and no harm comes your way.
This will probably send gasprices through the roof. We really are living in the end times it seems.

I'm curious, If your homes are destroyed, do you get insurance for you home and items in the home from a natural disaster?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

The people who had gone through huricane Andrew still haven't receive full gov't compensation for flood damage. I saw news report which indicated that FEMA only paid 50% of damages. The owners are up the creek right now.

I hope you guys the best who lives in the Gulf near Hurricane Rita. And I wish you the best of luck. If I did have my own place I would let you chill here until that hurricane was gone. GOOD LUCK
