BEACH-UMBRELLA CASE
Dear Heloise: I have read many hints for using old pantyhose. What about this one? I lost the case for my beach umbrella and discovered that one leg from an old pair works great! It's easy to put on and pull off, and to store in your beach bag for the day. -- Barbara Keyler, La Mesa, Calif.
LETTER OF LAUGHTER
Dear Heloise: I have a mattress that is heavy and hard for me to turn, so I turn ME instead! Each time I put on fresh linens, I make the opposite end the foot, so every two weeks I switch ends.
It confuses the cats as to where my feet are, but it saves a lot of struggle. -- Liz Warren, via e-mail
SOUND OFF
Dear Heloise: Please make people aware that not only are some people allergic to perfume and cologne, but also for some people it triggers asthma attacks. I avoid theaters, planes and other closed-in, crowded places, because even lightly scented perfume can "take my breath away."
People should not assume that others are enjoying their potentially life-threatening scent. I'm sure there are many nice people who wear perfume/cologne and are unaware of this. -- Kirk Brown, Plymouth, N.H.
