Hints From Heloise

Don’t play tennis but have several tennis balls lying around? Here are some ways to use them.

They make great dog toys.

Use to massage your feet.

Put in the dryer with down pillows to help fluff them.

Hang from the ceiling in the garage to gauge distance when parking the car.

Dear Heloise: I recently discovered a household hint that aids in recycling, too.

Instead of throwing out those grocery and sales register receipts, simply use the back side of them to write your next grocery shopping list or errand list.

They are just the right size and you recycle at the same time. - Candy Boynton, Cobleskill, N.Y.
