When a baby girl is due, I give the grandmother to-be a traveling tea set. It is for a first-time grandmother to congratulate her on her new title and set the stage for special tea times together in the coming years! -- Dave and Corrinne Berkland, in Universal City, TexasOn a recent cross-country road trip, we had a flat tire.
After moving to a safe area to change the flat, I proceeded to jack up the car and remove the flat. I installed the “donut” spare tire and found that it was flat as well! So, tell your readers to periodically check the air pressure in your spare so that this won’t happen to them. Thanks. -- Larry P., in Largo, FloridaHoward Zeff, in Mission Viejo, California, gave very good information about creating a detailed list of things that need to be done once we pass away. But he left out one very important thing that I learned when my sister passed: I did not keep her cellphone active when I was responsible for her estate after she passed. When I came home across the country from where she lived, I used my cellphone to start contacting the utilities, banks, and other important numbers from the list. The first thing they do when you log in from an unknown device is send a text to the cellphone of the now deceased. I created so much trouble for myself by not using my sister’s cellphone to make all those important calls. Please let your readers know. Thank you. -- Beverly Coryell, in Longview, WashingtonWhen we bought our new car, one of my first stops was at a discount store, where I purchased three inexpensive bath mats and put them down on the floor over the car mats . These are much easier to shake out and wash than it is to clean the fancy rubber car mats that we bought with the vehicle. I hope this helps some people keep their cars in good order! Keep up the good work. I love reading your hints in the Spokesman Review. Cheers! -- L. Russel, in Spokane, WashingtonMy husband and I just returned from a road trip. My helpful hint is to keep an extra set of car keys in my pant pocket during the trip. Should something happen to my husband’s keys, or if we are both at a rest stop, whoever returns to the locked car first can get in. When we are traveling in our RV, my keyring also has the RV keys.GUM ON THE STREETSI chuckled when I read the message from a reader about chewing gum that gets thrown on the pavement and sidewalks. It seems as though it is more durable than the pavement itself. Maybe used gum should be collected to be used instead of asphalt. Then streets would last longer with fewer potholes! -- Jim, in Troy, Ohio Jim, I get where you’re going with this, but tossing chewing gum on the street is such a dirty habit. Plus birds mistake it for food. Their bodies can’t digest gum, and it can kill the bird that eats it. -- HeloiseIf you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
