FAST FACTS

Dear Readers: Here are a few handy ways to use a picture frame, from Heloise Central:

Place a recipe in for easy viewing.

Display a treasured poem.

List important telephone numbers.

Display directions for laundry or other household chores.

Show child's art projects.

-- Heloise

HOLD THAT POSE

Dear Heloise: Hold your camera as if your hand is a tripod. This makes it much easier to hold it steady. -- Marilyn Simmons, county extension agent, Galveston County, Texas

Thanks, Marilyn, for your hint. I met Marilyn when I spoke to about 500 extension agents on Sept. 10, 2008, in Corpus Christi, Texas. -- Heloise

SOUND OFF

Dear Heloise: My Sound Off is when cashiers stick the receipt in with your change. Then you have to juggle everything to put your money away. Why can't they put the receipt in the bag? -- Georgia, via e-mail

I would suggest asking them to place the receipt in the bag. I'm sure they would be more than happy to oblige. Most cashiers are trying to do a good job and get you in and out of the store as quickly as possible. -- Heloise
