Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: A friend of mine has a son and two daughters. After a spaghetti dinner, the younger daughter was gently wiping off the spaghetti from the tablecloth, getting no results.

Debbie, with all her older sister knowledge, told Becky to use a little elbow grease.

Little Becky asked, “Which cupboard do we keep the elbow grease in?” - Bonnie S. Cree, Scottdale, Pa.

Dear Heloise: When I go Rollerblading, I separate my car key from my other keys (which I lock in my car) and I safety-pin it on my workout clothing.

Also, I put my driver’s license, insurance card and my husband’s business card in my Rollerblade boot. This way, if I am injured, medical personnel will know who I am, whom to notify, and where to take me for medical care.

Furthermore, if I am accosted, heaven forbid, the perpetrator(s) will not have a key to my house. - Mary Beth Fitch, Dallas, Texas
