I know what you mean about when talking to people. Most of the time I dont have a single useful thing to say to help them, but occasionally I actually have the perfect thing to say or advice, it weird. But I feel like an asshole when they have a major problem and I literally have nothing to say.
eh - I don't bother with advice any more - nobody ever listens no matter HOW brilliant I am (lol - kidding about the brilliant part) - most of the time people just want someone to listen to them and go "wow, that sucks!" or whatever.
So i'm good at that now.
Or - just repleat back "wow, so now you feel like you need to go set the bush on fire? that's horrible!" or whatever.
and that's really nice of you for cutting that woman's hair - just dont give her a mohawk cuz you're asleep! .
You're right on the ball with the hurricane issue. Two days ago they downgraded the forecast for this year. When El Nino formed way west of Hawaii, they said we were screwed because if an El Nino is that far off, it increases the number of formed storms way over here. However, El Nino moved in towards Hawaii and that causes a dramatic decrease in storms.
There is something about El Nino that causes very high wind shear and those high winds prevent storms from organizing and becoming tropical storms or hurricanes. Yay for the eastern movement of El Nino!!
