"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.

For those more knowledgeable than I. 2003 Acura Rsx-s I was told the heat shield for my catalyst converter is broken. There is a metal plate hanging of fmy car dragging on the ground as an oil pan would do but its not the oil pan. Is this type of repair covered under general warranty? I called the acura dealer but they wont really answer me. They want me to bring it in.
 

"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.

Maybe, maybe not.


Catalist would have two heat shields, one on top, one on bottom. You really need to tack the brocken piece in place, that's all. Go under your car, if the top piece not brocken, and only bottom brocken, you can rip it off, if top piece is missing, then you're in trouble.

It would be cheaper to go to an exhaust shop and pay for repair, which will only take 10 minutes. Tack it into place. If it's more serious then replace the catalic converter.


I know dealer should do it for free, perhaps. But it will take the whole day and you paying shop fees.
