"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.

Wrist injury -- can't work out

Hi all,

I just discovered that I have tenosynovitis in my right wrist.

Tenosynovitis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenosynovitis

I can't lift weights or do anything heavy with my right hand, even opening doors is a problem now (after about a week). So, I can't work out, which I usually do at home since I live out in the boonies and don't have money for a gym.

I started jogging again and doing sit-ups, but I can't do squats because I usually hold the barbell in front of me while doing them.

Any ideas on how to work out and keep in shape for the next 1-2 months would be very welcome. Thanks in advance.

"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.

Sorry to say we are not Doctor's and a lot of exercises involve your hands.

Don't do anything to aggravate it and do the best you can.

You might get away with machine hack squats and other leg work...but almost every other lift requires using your hands :(
