Advice...

"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 that it's worth."

1999-

Life doesn't come with an instruction manual. If it did, we really wouldn't have any problems now would we? We just try to live our lives as best we can based on our own life experiences or what other people warn us about.
I guess you could call this and advice collumn. But, I'd prefer to call this a place were you can go and just get an honest opinion from a neutral third party. You can email me with your troubles, and I can help you out as best and as honestly as I can.
What makes me so good that you should tell me what bothering you? Am I some sort of a doctor or something? Well, no. I'm not a doctor, nor am I a psychiatrist; I'm not a Tarot card reader, a police officer, a handy man, nor a politician. I'm just an ordinary guy with an ordinary, down-to-earth point of view. I'm not a whacko, an extremist, an expert, or anything like that. I'm just honest and forth coming.
If you want to know more about me, click here.
Because, I'm no expert on anything, I really can't quarantee any results. I can just give you the best that I can. Sometimes, you do need to see an expert. Please see my disclaimer for more details.

With that said, if you want to get you problem heard by someone who wants to help. Someone, who'll actually listen to you. Someone who won't talk down to you, or flame you, or ignore you. Then drop me a note.

To begin with. Here are some tips to dating that might come in handy for the singles among us. Believe me, I know the trials and tribulations of the dating arena. Also, some help for new soldiers entering the the Armed Forces.

Disclaimer: Life is a stange and wierd thing. Often times what's good and sound for one person, isn't always the case for someone else. I'm not a PHD in psychology and I'm not a psychic. Any advice I give is just that... Advice from someone who's as human as you. It's free to you to take or leave as you will... But, if you feel that the advice has wronged you in some way, please accept my humblest apologies. Please, do not feel that I am at fault for any further complications of your problem. The advice that you take here is at your own risk.
Also, some questions of merit will be posted on this website to help others. I will not post names or places to protect your welfare and property.
Thanks.
