Anyone have any advice they can give? i personally have decisions to make and could use some outside input. And I'm sure there're others out there looking for some wise words. So toss in your two cents and guide us wandering sheep!

Put on clean underwear everyday in case you get hit by a car and have to go to the hospital.
 
Don't forget to shave your armpits.
 
Never eat anything bigger than your head.

Ladies,

If you are looking for a man who is sensitive, caring, and good-looking: He likely has a boyfriend.

My best advice is to not admit that you're a sheep when I'm around.

good job.

My advice: Don't get involved with people who are devotees of Machiavelli. We are likely to pull strings and push buttons just for the hell of it. We're not nice people.

The Prince, I enjoyed it very much. The Art of War is mostly common sense really.

Don't be afraid, your life is not going to be over, take it easy.
