Hints From Heloise

King Features Syndicate

Dear Heloise: It’s so dry here in Arizona that every time we turn the lights on, we get a shock from the little screw heads. I have tried spraying fabric softener on the carpets, put tape over the screws, even tried tiny pieces of rubber magnets, to no avail. What can I do? - Carole Hoffman, Phoenix, Ariz.

Moisture is the answer! If you keep water simmering on the stove, place a cup of water in each room, use a cold-mist vaporizer or put a humidifier in your home, the static should stop or at least be minimized. Good luck! - Heloise

Other uses for tackle boxes:

Store medical supplies in, for a first-aid kit.

Fill with art supplies.

Store and tote tools.

Organize and store makeup. - Heloise
