1: High heels are supposed to follow the curve of your foot, but if you've got "short"-type toes or a longer heel (like me), you'll end up with a gap under your arch. If this happens, there's a couple options. You can throw the offending footwear against the wall after about 20 minutes, insult its parentage in imaginative and unpublishable ways, and vow never to wear heels again. This is perfectly reasonable! Alternatively, you can try insoles. There are various kinds made especially for high heels and, while they won't beat out running shoes at comfort, shoe shopping will seem less like a practical joke at your expense.
2: When, after an unsuccessful cooking adventure, you're left staring in horror at a pot that looks like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/justiard/badly_burned_pot.jpg), break out the WD-40 (or other penetrating oil/solvent of your preference). Verily, the topologists and hammer salesmen have each told us truth, there is no fundamental difference between a pot and a nail.
3: If you've got asthma, particularly that sort of asthma that even on good days never quite entirely goes away, check out Symbicort. I am serious. It will *change your life*.
4: In the winter and summer you might be able to get away with trusting the weather patterns, but if you find yourself near the south-west coast of British Columbia in the spring or fall, always pack both an umbrella and a pair of sunglasses among your day's accessories. Always. 'Else you are going to be really irritated at 2 pm, when the torrential downpour takes a 40 minute break and the sun multiplies off the glistening streets and your fingers make a really crappy sunvisor. (Or the rain comes out and totally messes up your hair. It is the same solution!)

I hope my wisdom serves you well. *nods solemnly*
