Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I have moved over 14 times and have found that a really good photo showing my hairstyle from the front and side saves so much time in letting a hairdresser know how I prefer to have my hair cut. Most of us pick from a magazine, but we may not have that type of hair. It is hard for a stylist to say that your hair won’t look like that when you have a photo of your own hair to prove that it will! - Janet Lorette, McGaheysville, Va.

Other uses for a baster:

Use to add water to flower arrangements.

Fill auto battery cells with distilled water.

Fill water dishes of caged pets; no need to open the cage door.

Small gelatin molds can be filled easier and with less spilling.
