"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.

So I have itunes on my laptop and synched with my iPod. My wife just got an iPod and wants to put her own tunes, etc. on it. How do I set up 2 different accounts of iTunes on one machine, i.e. so my stuff doesn't download to her iPod and vice versa.

I have been searching the FAQ's and discussion boards for itunes but have not found an answer yet. FYI, I am running it on Vista.

Thanks.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

You can create separate playlists with what you want to go on your Ipods in the list and set the iPods to sync with that list and not the whole library

I ended up getting it done by creating a different account on the machine and even then you have to go in and tell the iTunes not to synch. Even though the songs don't match up, if one logon has not logged out of iTunes and another account tries to open iTunes up, it will not open.

I sell software for a living and I swear iTunes is among the clunkiest POS I have ever seen. That thing freezes or locks up more than any app I have ever worked with.
