Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: My wife and I often entertain overnight guests. Unfortunately, we only have one bathroom. Therefore, it becomes difficult for us to keep track of who has been using which washcloths and towels.

I have worked out a system to take care of this problem. We have three colors of towels and washcloths - red for my wife and me, blue for guests who are members of our family and green for guests who are not family members. This keeps everybody from using a towel that belongs to someone else. This system has served us well for five years now. - Jay Carter, Laredo, Texas xxxx
