Precisely, advice on what ? :)
I can give you advice about living in Sydney.
If you live in Sydney and you leave you shoes outside overnight, always bang them together and double check that, no Redbacks or Funnelwebs have crawled into them, the bite of a Redback will make an adult sick, and the Funnelweb is the most poisonous spider in the world and its bite will kill you fast.
First aid for funnel-web bites consists of applying a pressure immobilization bandage. Pressure immobilization is the wrapping of the bitten limb with a crepe bandage and splint. It was originally developed for snakebites but has been shown to be effective at slowing venom movement in funnel-web bites and may also slowly inactivate the venom.
Then call 000 (not 911 in Australia) and pray that they get to you fast enough.
I hope that advice helps.

Don't say everything you think. Don't do everything you think. Be original: be yourself. Keep friends that you can trust. Be careful of new acquaintances. Don't fight with anyone, but if you have to fight, you had best win. Listen, and don't speak all the time. Take their opinion, but don't judge them on their opinion. Don't overspend on accessories. Dress nicely, not richly. People judge you by what you wear. French are snotty with Dress, so remember your stature. Neither a borrower nor a lender be. If you loan money, you'll lose friends. If you borrow money, you won't manage very well. Be true to yourself. If you are true to yourself, you will be true to others. Think of this everyday and you'll do it everyday.

Don't use people and love things; love people and use things.
Before reaching for a Tylenol to cure a headache, ask yourself, "Was it the lack of a Tylenol that brought on this headache?" No. Most likely it was lack of water, lack of sleep, etc. Make the lack the cure.
Stop dieting. The best way to lose weight, gain weight or maintain weight (your body will determine which it needs) is to eat only/always when you are hungry and stop when you are (politely) full. If everyone found out this secret, the multi-billion dollar diet industry would fall apart.
Don't focus on your weaknesses; focus on your strengths. You do this by feeding your strengths instead of trying to overcome your weaknesses. Also, don't focus on hiding what you don't like or improving them, focus on highlighting what you do!
Learn from the past, plan for the future, but live in the present. Guilt and regret cannot change the past, and worry and anxiety cannot change the future.
Best parking space: Because the closest distance between two points is a straight line, you should park in the row directly in front of an entrance, even if it is far away. That way you don't have to worry about remembering where you parked and you will naturally walk straight when you exit the store anyway.
Best way to render telemarketers speechless: In perfect English say, "I don't speak English." Wait a few seconds ( he/she will be stumped and not say a word) Proceed by hanging up and laughing. ( or you can just call block them)
Everything works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out, it's not the end.

+1 on the sunscreen
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
but trust me on the sunscreen

Ladies and gentleman of the class of '98
people often ask me if I have any advice to offer
and when they do, I tell them this:
If you're unsure about what you're going to do with your life
try to remember some of the most interesting people didn't know what
they
were going to do at age 22 or even at 40, and nearly all of them are
unemployed drug addicts forced to live on cat food.
Also understand that friends will come and go - this is because of your
irritating personality - nobody likes you. So if the only thing getting
you
through the day is the misconception that people like you - end it now.
(gunshot)
Learn how to smoke Winnie blues. If you're underaged, get an older kid to
buy them for you. Get to really know your parents - they're good for
money.
Milk them, then put them in an old people's home. Travel as often as you
can. Live in New York City once. Live in northern California once. Never
live in Adelaide - it's a hole.
Maybe you'll marry. Maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll have children. Maybe you won't. If you do have children,
lock
them under the stairs.
Do one thing each day that scares you. Sing. Dance. Jump in front of a
car.
Do not trust anyone who tries to update Shakespeare for the kids. And
if
you see Quindon Tarver in the street - punch him in the face for me...
Brother and sister, we can be free.
(punching-sound-effect, feedback)
If you're worried about the way you look, try to remember you're
probably
fatter than you think. Maybe you should consider an eating disorder.
Don't
worry too much about the future. If you're nervous about an exam, ring
up
your school at the scheduled time and make a bomb threat. If you're a
girl,
lie about period pains to get out of anything that you don't want to
do. Cheat if you think you can get away with it. Remember, someone with
richer parents is getting private tuition.
Shoplift as often as you can. Shopping centres factor shop lifting into
their prices so if you don't do it, it's like they're getting money for
free. When you're on work experience, steal a cabcharge and take a taxi
to
Perth. Wear sunscreen, but only if its that coconut oil that gives you
cancer. Keep your old love letters. If you see an old lover in the
street,
try to run them over in your car. Don't mess too much with your hair,
otherwise by the time you're 35, you'll look like Greg Matthews.
Remember
you can wear your underwear 4 times without washing: forwards,
backwards,
inside out forwards, inside out backwards.
Brother and sister we can be free-ee-ee,
Brother and sister, we can belieeeeve, we can belie-
(multiple gunshots)
Congregate in gangs around train stations and shopping centres. It's a
free
country. It's public space. Skateboard on war memorials. Smoke in your
school uniform. Set off car alarms. Plant drugs on a teacher. Join a
cult.
Spike drinks. Don't flush public toilets. Remember, only you will only
truly take care of you - so carry a concealed weapon. Don't wear your P
plates. Walk around with your eyelids rolled back. Touch you tongue on
the
tip of batteries. Be open to new love. Remember, you can't get pregnant
the first time you have sex. Expect others to support you. It's easy to
get
the dole - and still do cash in hand work. Respect your elders. When
your
grandma dies have her stuffed. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss
them
when you're kneecapped by a lone shark. Get revenge. Don't forgive
anyone
for anything. But most of all, don't aim too high - You're probably only
suited to an office or factory job.
And trust me on the Winnie blues

"Kick your own ass. The universe neither cares about you nor recognizes any obligation to you. It is fixed and blind, a mad robot programmed to kill. You are free and seeing; you must outwit it at every poor turn.
Whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, you must create your own sanity, prosperity, and peace. The world is so gorgeous it hurts. Be careful. Strive to be happy."

To clarify: Do not give the cats opposable thumbs.
It's ok. All we do is chase the Key West chickens and drink catnip mojitos.

If you go to get something out of your car and you leave your keys inside, the car doors are locked, but if you have your keys they are not.
Murphy is everywhere. Get used to it.
The sun will rise tomorrow, unless it is cloudy and then it is assumed to have happened.
You only have to be right once not to be paranoid.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, unless your neighbor over fertilizes and then it's brown.

To clarify: Do not give the cats opposable thumbs.
That is terrible advice.
First off, if you're using animals to dispose of the bodies of your victims, you should use hogs. Everyone knows they do the best job.
Now, if all you have on hand are cats, fine, use cats. But, if you are using cats GIVE THEM THE WHOLE BODY TO EAT. Do not withhold the thumbs, opposable or not.
One important caveat: this does not apply if you are withholding the thumbs in order to craft fetishes or other magical items that will vest you with the powers of the dead.

Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.
Never deal with a dragon.
Don’t start a land war in Asia.
Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
Let the Wookie win.
Never tell me the odds.
Don’t press the red button.
Cut the blue wire.
Come with me if you want to live.
You forgot - Get to the Chopper!

Thumbs make good fetishes. I only learned that after I gave the cat a big pile of them, though. I was sucked in by the spleen fetish fad of '04.

Life is pain. Anyone telling you differently is selling something.
When anyone asks if you are a god say Yes.
Everything is relative. Eat a frog the first thing everyone morning. This way it everything else seems good.
There are no bad hair days. Even if a rabbit could survive the tattoos and nose pearcings, they could not rule. Not even for a day.
