I wash things in a bathroom sink while I travel on long trips, but I can’t seem to get them to dry off by the next day. What should I do?
I use my lined sticky notes for my grocery lists. I just stick it on the buggy handle, and I don’t lose my list or my buggy! -- Elizabeth Henry, via emailHere’s a hint for all who want to consider making donations.
There is a website called Charity Navigator where you can view ratings and reviews of charities and give confidently. Charity Navigator verifies how funds are spent and measures real impact. I have used this website to decide which organizations I will donate to . -- Susan Puretz, via emailRegarding short people who have a problem reaching items in the grocery store , I find taller people who are always happy to help. After they have retrieved the item for me, I always say, “If you need anything from the floor, let me know.” Leaves ‘em laughing every time! Thanks for your column. -- Evelyn Granata, in Lomita, CaliforniaWhile golfing, every once in a while, one of the guys will leave a club on or next to the green, or we will find one from a previous foursome. Please remind golfers to put their address labels on the shafts of the clubs. This way, it’s easy to locate the owner of the club when it’s found. -- Paul Dischert, in St. LouisMy sister-in-law was furious over people using wrapping paper to wrap a gift. I reminded her that paper is a renewable resource and can be recycled. Today’s gift wrap can be tomorrow’s paper towel. Two years ago, I bought four thick rolls of plain wrapping paper -- one in red, one in white, one in pink, and one in pale blue. These four colors cover all occasions, and if I receive a gift in a decorative bag, I try to keep it for when I need a gift bag. I have a stack of bags with my wrapping supplies. -- Mary-Margaret T., in Dutch Fork, South CarolinaI just thought about another place to donate clothing. I went through this when my husband died this past summer. He was a professional man and dressed appropriately every day. It was hard to give away his clothing to just anyone. But I found out that many universities have “boutiques” on campus for graduating seniors to check out in preparation for their future job interviews. How fabulous is this! I donated his professional clothing to his alma mater, Louisiana State University. How proud he would be to know that his clothing was being worn by another graduate! I know that the Univeristy of Mississippi has a “boutique” as well. -- Lindsey R., via emailI wash things in a bathroom sink while I travel on long trips, but I can’t seem to get them to dry off by the next day. What should I do to get my garments to dry properly? -- Daisy, in Smyrna, Delaware Daisy, after washing and rinsing your garments, roll them in a towel to help wring out the excess water, then hang them up to dry. If they are still damp in the morning, use a hair dryer to finish the job. -- Heloise Send a money-saving or time-saving hint to Heloise@Heloise.com.
