Mr. Advice Man is back from a special summer session at the National Advice Institute, where he attended seminars designed to equip him with the very latest in cutting edge advice technology.  

For example, there was a seminar about social media led by a lonely guy named Tom who talked about an up-and-coming Facebook-killer site called “MySpace.”  Until Mr. Advice Man finds just the right collection of MIDI files and animated gifs for his new MySpace, we’ll have to content ourselves with The Sunflower. 

Here are some more great summer tips from the mind of Mr. Advice Man:

• For those of you “on the go” this summer, here’s a travel hint – pack a travel iron, and you’ll be able to enjoy toast wherever you go.  This tip is great if you happen to be visiting an area that’s not current on toast technology.
• On the subject of food, all pizzas can be “personal” pizzas with sufficient willpower.
• Avoid pesky summer colds and enjoy a fresh, tasty beverage at the same time. Hand sanitizer kills 99.9 percent of germs on your hand; imagine what it could do for your insides.
• That rule about no diving in the shallow end of the pool?  It’s there because the wimps in the shallow end don’t like getting splashed.  Show them who’s the boss!
• Be safe at those summer barbecues.  Lighter fluid is highly flammable, and it’s basically an accident in a bottle.  Use reliable unleaded gasoline instead.  How often do you see flames shooting out of a car?
• There are some real airfare bargains to be had, if you’re willing to visit some less-popular tourist spots like Egypt, North Korea or Detroit.

Follow these top tips, and you’re sure to enjoy the rest of your summer the Mr. Advice Man way.
