Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: Having trouble grinding your food when your kitchen counters are tile? Just attach your appliance to the ironing board and then grind in style. - Polly Stubblefield, Santa Paula, Calif.

Dear Heloise: I think an easy reminder to replace our toothbrushes is to make the change with the change of the seasons. This gives us recommended replacement every three months. - Merle Helms, Brookville, Ind.

Dear Heloise: When traveling, I put out the “Do Not Disturb” sign when going out for breakfast. That way, the maid won’t be there when you need to go back to your room before departing for the day. (Just be sure to take it down when you finally leave.) - Sue Daino, Cape Coral, Fla.
