But trust me on the sunscreen.

On occasion of me stepping uncertainly into the wild terrains of adult existence, I thought I'd ask the advice of those who've been there before me and learned its systems of cartography. That is, the internets!

So, please share a few of the tips you've figured out along the way that have made your life just that little bit easier!

They can be simple and well known - maybe it really *is* easier if you install the toilet paper with the leading edge facing out! - or extremely, oddly specific - what *is* the best compass direction to face when writing love letters in a second story hotel room?

Who knows. Maybe they will make someone else's life just that little bit easier as well!

Verify the statements of salespeople before committing a significant amount of time, money or effort. This is particularly true in technical matters.

Oh... this makes me think of a new piece of "grownup advice": Get a subscription to "consumerreports.com". Check it before making any major purchase. It's $26 a year, and it will save you that many times over.

Agreed, although I would say that sometimes I do not agree with their weightings with regard to "best value" - there are some things where certain intangibles make a premium worthwhile for me (laptop keyboards, for instance).
