TEETH CLEANING IS ALL ABOUT TIME<\/b><\/p>\n
Dear Heloise:<\/b> Your answer to me about rinsing your teeth turned the question into a matter of time. The original question was, \u201cDo I rinse or not?\u201d The time you spend on your teeth is a matter of personal preference. My husband doesn\u2019t spend nearly the time on brushing that I do, but he also rinses. He doesn\u2019t have any cavities either. However, I do what I do because I love the everyday feeling of \u201cI just got my teeth cleaned!\u201d — Clean, in Montana<\/p>\n
ANOTHER BEDSHEET HINT<\/b><\/p>\n
Dear Heloise: <\/b>I enjoy reading your column in the Springfield News-Sun and wanted to share how I save on changing the sheets on my queen-sized bed. Instead of going to the trouble that Karen, in Florida, does, I just sleep on one side of the bed one week and the other side the following week. This way, I only have to change the sheets once every two weeks.<\/p>\n
I started doing this decades ago when I was left with a king-sized bed following a divorce. Thanks for all the hints you\u2019ve shared. — Andi, in Ohio<\/p>\n
HAMBURGER BUNS<\/b><\/p>\n
Dear Heloise:<\/b> I live alone and enjoy a good homemade hamburger occasionally. I like to have a hamburger bun in order to enjoy the condiments and have found that the end pieces of loaves of bread make adequate buns. I keep a bag of heels in the freezer. They don\u2019t take up much room and thaw out quickly. Also, they don\u2019t add as many carbs while still supplying the true purpose of the bun — holding the toppings and the condiments. — Ann Aldridge, via email<\/p>\n
HIDING A PURSE IN THE TRUNK<\/b><\/p>\n
Dear Heloise:<\/b> Regarding Beverly C.\u2019s suggestion about putting her purse in the trunk and only taking her credit card into the store, it\u2019s vital to put the purse in the trunk while you\u2019re at home where you can\u2019t be seen. I carry my credit card in a lanyard around my neck for safety and convenience. Thanks for so many valuable hints. — Melinda B., in Conway, Arkansas<\/p>\n
LOVE YOUR FEET<\/b><\/p>\n
