"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.

Fuk in Hell.. Had a lower moler removed 4 days ago.. It was fukin traumatic as the tooth was so damn stubborn, took the dentist & assistant 20 minutes to pull it out.

I don't think I was numb enough, as I could feel the pain of it being pulled.

To make matters worse.. The socket hasn't clotted & now I have Dry Socket with an infection.

The pain is INSANE.. Just had it filled with some type of antibiotic gauge.

Any of you guys experienced Dry Socket after tooth extraction?

The pain it could make the most Alpha of men breakdown & cry!
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Sorry to hear that. This sounds brutal. Are you taking Tylenol?

Yes however over over the counter pain killers do not do anything for this type of pain.

Probably the worst pain you can imagine

You could try Oxycodone. I just broke a few bones and it was the only thing that could take the edge off so I could sleep.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I belive a kick in the nuts is worse, but each to his own, plus there is all the whole broken bones, busted nerves, yeah even when I broke 2 of my thoots, the pain was more bearable then when I busted my knee and felt the pain for months...

I wonder how it compares with childbirth?
 

"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.

Vicodin pain relief depends on the hydrocodone amount in the medication. 2.5/5/7.5/10, the remainder is only acetaminophen (Tylenol)…
Some dentists are notorious for under prescribing for pain because of the potential patient drug abuse issue…

You can extract the codeine (hydrocodone) quite easily.
Opioids like codeine/hydrocodone/etc dissolve easily in water, even when the water is cold.
Acetaminophen/Tylenol/Paracetamol will dissolve in warm water, but settles out as the water cools.
So...
Crush up a number of the combo pills, and dissolve the powder/crumbs in half a glass of warm water.
Put the solution in the refrigerator for a few hours
When it's cold there will be a white sludge in the bottom - that is the majority of the acetaminophen.
Run it through a coffee filter
You will be left with a liquid that still contains about 90% of the hydrocodone/codeine/etc - but only about 10% of the acetaminophen.

Tastes horrible - very bitter - but works a treat, and you can wash it round the tooth before you swallow to get a better 'hit'
And wa-a-a-a-a-ay better than kicking sh*t out of your liver with high acetaminophen doses.

We get pills in UK that are 8/500 codeine/paracetamol (oxycodone/tylenol)
8 pills, crushed and dissolved, will yield a 'drink' that still contains about 60mg codeine, but only around 400mg paracetamol (tylenol)

^^^ My own personal toothache treatment ^^^

Note - Only do this as short-term relief - Oxy/Codeine/opioids are easy to get addicted to, and a real b**tard to get off them.

I would much rather have dental insurance than medical insurance. Most illness is self inflicted and self limiting. Dental emergencies are not self limiting. They are horrible.

Never had that issue, but I've had severe tooth pain. Had to get a root canal and crown

I agree that it reaches a point that nothing over the counter helps at all. Clove Oil helps some, but not once it gets severe

I would think that being eaten by a shark is probably the worst.

Do you have a water pik dude? I just got one and I'm in love, these things are great. I've never had so much fun 'flossing' my teeth.

Also just as a heads up I took a REALLY REALLY REALLY strong antibiotic for some strep a few months back and one day I was looking into the mirror and happened to notice my tongue was all white. Then I started getting a really bad sore throat and after a bunch of testing they determined I had fungus which grew out of the stomach because of the anti-biotics erasing everything down there. So just make sure you are taking pro-biotics everyday. I was on the anti-fungals for 3 months before the stuff let up.

Tooth pain is unbearable...I had an abscess once and I literally wanted to cry...all I could do was focus on the throbbing and I could almost literally feel my heartbeat through that tooth.

You need something to distract you from the pain. Do you VR bro? :)

Yes mate.. I ended up with dry socket and an infection on top of that.. The pain was unbearable.. Antibiotics have cleared it up somewhat now
