Go to the place of business on Valentine’s Day and stand by the door. When you see someone, perhaps an elderly person, give them the card.
Hints from Heloise: If you don’t want that gift card you received, give it to a stranger for Valentine’s DayI have been reading your column with interest and like the tips displayed therein. A recent letter from Cody, in San Antonio, noted that he gives various kinds of nuts and seeds to squirrels for their food, which is nice.
On the contrary, I feed them with small pieces of regular or butter-topped bread. Squirrels and other birds like it very much. Sometimes if all of the bread is consumed, squirrels come to me with folded hands and request more. It brings a smile on my face, and I feed them more bread pieces. -- Glen Allen, in VirginiaTo Carolyn L., in Olympia, Washington, I understand how you feel about gift cards.
I am going to buy a whistle and blow it in their ear from now on. I suggest we all blow their ears off. Thank you! --Tina, Spring Creek, NevadaYour hints are often the first thing I read in the morning newspaper. The following hint is not earth-shaking but very practical for us: My wife and I have differing and specific preferences regarding the preferred “strengths” of our coffee. With our much-appreciated machine, we can easily make two large cups from each pod. We add water to the first cup and a little instant coffee to the second. Thus, we can “have our coffee and drink it, too” while feeling efficient and economical.
My wife also fills the pods herself rather than using the prefilled ones. Fortunately, economizing is no longer important, but we get some enjoyment from believing that we are doing so and being somewhat friendly to our environment. -- Harold B., in Leesburg, FloridaOtto is the name I gave to the rescue dog who I am thrilled to now have in my home. He is 8 and recently neutered because he was from a puppy mill. I hope he will be happy in our house for another eight years or more.
