If you guys get a chance check out the mini-series on HBO. I know a lot of people don't like American history but this show brings you into the time period. Seeing it is definitely different then just reading about the facts in some random history book. This could be right up there with Band of Brothers.
"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.

"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.

What's wrong with American(and other) history? I think it's great. And I don't base my knowledge on anything based on movies. While I'm sure this HBO show will be pretty good, I sure won't trust it for it's accuracy.

Its kind of funny that Tom Wilkinson is playing Ben Franklin as being that character he is now on the side of the Revolution when earlier in his career in the movie The Patriot he played the leader of the British forces Gen. Lord Charles Cornwallis.

"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.

Heh heh I've loved that movie for years Penny.
I finally got around to ordering it on Amazon not too long ago.
Just waiting for it to arrive along with a few other movies.
I decided on getting the extended cut edition of it.

As a history teacher, I take offense Sir!armadon said:
Seriously, I had no idea there was such a show on HBO. I like the historically-based dramas. "Deadwood" was amazing. However historically inaccurate a show may/may not be, a show that has the potential to pique someone's interest in a historical character is a good thing.
John Adams was a pretty hip dude too...
