Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I don’t recall having seen this hint in your column before, so I’ll pass it on to you.

My husband and I don’t enjoy watching the same programs at night, so when I go to bed, I put on my earphones and watch what I like without disturbing him.

I had a problem locating the remote control sometimes, losing it in the covers. I had just worn out my eyeglass holder and bought a new one. One evening the thought hit me that perhaps the TV remote would fit in the old one.

Voila! A perfect fit and now I can find it easily on my bedside table. - Judy Allison, Fort Worth, Texas

Dear Heloise: For quick reference of telephone numbers you may need, write name and phone number in the upper margin of the phone book. They’re easy to see! - Bart Harst, San Marcos, Texas
