"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.
You have in stage cancer with maybe 6 months to live how do you treat yourself?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I knew someone with end-stage bone marrow cancer that got into a study at a medical school, this person was in complete 100% remission in six months. And remains that way till this day two years later.

Cannabis is only going to provide pain relief but a CBD topical applied could help if the cancer is close to the skin surface. Alkaline water, processed sugar avoidance and Vitamin C would also help.
"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.

I'd probably go on a radical elimination diet and fast 16-24 hrs per day, making sure to get plenty of exercise and avoid stress. I'd probably also start an insane supplement protocol based on what David Sinclair has recommended.
Not sure what I'd do to pass the time, I definitely wouldn't work for anyone...I'd probably just rack up tons of CC debt and do whatever felt most meaningful, probably travel and meet interesting people.

If you have something worth fighting for I would use eastern wisdom with western medicine to try and beat it on all fronts.

But seriously, it’s a crapshoot imo. I knew someone who had access to the best healthcare and facilities go much quicker than another on just Medicaid. In both cases I would attest the terms “battle” and “fight” were valid.
I would probably do a lot of psychedelic drugs if I ever find myself in that situation.
Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business is an interesting documentary.

- Talk to your doctor or oncologist: Your doctor can provide you with information about any ongoing clinical trials or cancer studies that may be relevant to your condition.
- Search online databases: You can search online databases of clinical trials such as ClinicalTrials.gov or the National Cancer Institute's website. These databases allow you to search for trials based on the type of cancer you have, the location of the trial, and other criteria.
- Contact cancer advocacy organizations: There are many cancer advocacy organizations that can provide you with information about ongoing studies and trials. These organizations can also provide you with support and guidance throughout your cancer journey.
- Consult with a medical librarian: Medical librarians are trained to help people find relevant medical information. They can help you search databases, find studies, and locate other resources that may be helpful to you.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Whos sinclair?
