They do seem to really get around! This hint works well, whether it’s to keep birds from roosting or from flying into windows, like our big picture ones. Hang some decorations or ribbon (I even taped a few pieces of ribbon on the glass door), and it’s usually just enough movement to ward off the birds. -- Heloise SNAKES IN THE GARDEN Dear Heloise: My mother-in-law found a few garden snakes in her small garden. She moved into a townhome, but she must have her garden to stay busy and happy. What should she do? -- Hannah in Texas Most folks don’t care for snakes, especially if you are tending a garden or a flower bed. I live in the “semicountry” in San Antonio, and we do have some of the slithering critters around. Several have found their way into our home through the years. I was NOT happy! Many times, snakes find warmth in and around houses during the winter. Sometimes they are out sunning themselves, but oh how I wish they would do that in someone else’s yard! First, seal all cracks between the house and patio, foundation and basement windows, if you have them. Snakes like to hang out in tall grass, overgrown shrubs, piles of wood, etc., so DON’T stack wood against the house or outbuilding, and keep it off the ground, if possible. Don’t give them a place to make a home. Don’t leave pet food out, which brings mice, which in turn brings snakes looking for a meal. Live and let live, I say, but don’t come into my house uninvited! -- Heloise E CAPSULE FOR HANDS Dear Heloise: As I walk every morning, I take a vitamin E capsule along. I stick a pin into it and rub the oil into my hands, nails and cuticles. By the time I get home, the oil is absorbed, and my hands are soft. -- Valerie, via email FURNITURE POLISH Dear Heloise: My mother is frustrated. She had used a furniture polish on her antiques that she made from one of your recipes. She has misplaced the recipe. She does not remember the amounts, only that an ingredient had to be bought at a pharmacy. Could you reprint the recipe? -- Julie D., via email Absolutely! Don’t fret -- it’s as simple as a look in your pantry (for olive oil) or a stop at the pharmacy to pick up "sweet oil," which is olive oil without any scent, etc. Simply mix 2 parts sweet oil or olive oil with 1 part apple-cider vinegar. Pour it into a spray bottle and label with the contents and the date. Give the bottle a few good shakes to mix up, spray on a CLOTH -- not the table directly -- and make that piece of furniture shine. This polish is great for most furniture. Just DO NOT use on raw or unfinished wood. -- Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. Care comes in many packages Dear Heloise: My daughter is in her first year of college out of state. I want to send her CARE PACKAGES, but there are too many choices. Do you have any hints? -- Rachel, via email Sure do, and I can tell you, when I was in college and saw a package from my mother or daddy, I knew it was going to make me happy! There is a difference between want and need! What are favourite candies, snacks, magazines, etc.? College students often live on takeout or microwave meals. Homemade goodies are just the best, even if they do arrive in less-than-perfect shape. Who cares? They still taste the same! A themed care package can be fun to put together and fun to open up. For a cheap night in, make a box full of movies, popcorn and candy. A “need” (but maybe not “want”) gift box is one full of tissues, cough drops, medicine, tea and instant soup. Do put in a treat, too! When packing, put items that might leak in a zipper-top plastic bag. For cookies, wrap in plastic wrap, then put in a hard, plastic leftover container. Use softer items to cushion things needing a little more care. Don’t waste space on unusable packing materials. No matter what, your college student will love getting a piece of home. If it is packed with love, it is perfect! -- Heloise WEST WEST T Window Blinds FREE Installation 6582953 Hints From Heloise BROWN GROCERY BAG Dear Heloise: My grocery store uses brown paper bags with sturdy handles. When going to a friend’s house, they make carrying food dishes easier than plastic bags. During the holidays, I use them to carry gifts in from the car and back out on the way home. -- Judy K., Athens, Ga. PET PAL Dear Readers: Melba and Bud Carter in Montalba, Texas, sent in a picture of their gray toy poodle, Tufer, sitting in the middle of a field of bluebonnets. Melba and Bud say that Tufer loves to travel with them in their motor home and play with the rabbits that live on their property. To see Tufer’s picture, go to my website, www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” -- Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O.

One day, we sat down to eat, and the casserole was horrible. I checked the tuna can and discovered that I had used cat food -- one of the smelliest-fish cat foods ever. P.S.: Even the cat wouldn't eat it.” * Stephanie R., via email, said: “I was married only two weeks and cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner. I had many dishes to prepare. When it came time for dessert, I cut the pecan pie. It seemed very oozy, but my husband said it was wonderful anyway. Later that day, I realized I had forgotten to bake the pie! It looked done, since I had prebaked the crust!” WEEKEND DUTY AGENT Vinegar takes on winter windows Dear Heloise: In the wintertime, I spray the outside glass on my vehicle with VINEGAR. In case it gets below freezing and snows, the ice and snow won’t stick to the windows. When the other cars’ windows are covered with ice and snow, mine are clear. -- Marvin O. in Montana This is an old, classic Heloise hint. You want to mix either white or cider vinegar with water (a ratio of 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water) before using on car windows. This hint is one of many in my Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More pamphlet. To order one, which includes some favourite recipes and other money-saving hints, please send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San May your homes be blessed with joy for the Holiday Season and Prosperity for the New Year. 6 JOURNAL PIONEER, Thursday, December 18, 2014 Braeden Alyssa A Merry Christmas to all DROP INTO OUR OFFICE, 49 BROADWAY ST., KENSINGTON6834964 Antonio, TX 78279-5001. I keep a microfibre cloth under the front seat and one in the glove box. When stuck at a loooong (yes, I spelled it loooong!) light, I figure, why waste that time? I dust a window or two, the control panel and any surface I can reach. -- Heloise Hints From Heloise FAMILY TREE Dear Heloise: I have the solution for familyphotograph Christmas cards. I now have two trees -- one traditional and the other with lights and only photographs cut to size. Florist wire makes quick hangers, and you can put on enough lights so you can call it your "family tree." It’s one-of-a-kind. I have been doing this for years, and during our open house, people spend more time looking at all the pictures than at my Nativity sets. -- Catherine T., Conroe, Texas MOVING HINT Dear Heloise: With our children off to college, my husband and I decided to sell our home and downsize. Everything we wanted to keep would not fit in our new house. So we rented a storage unit. To keep boxes and furniture organized, we used different-colour packing tape -red to storage and blue to the new home. We tagged furniture with sticky notes of red or blue. We also organized the boxes in two separate areas. The movers were grateful for our foresight, making their job easier. Also, it lessened the time to load and unload, so we had a lower-than-anticipated bill. -- Theresa C., via email BICYCLISTS BEWARE Dear Heloise: In your column on bicycle basics, you omitted what I feel is the most important safety aspect of bicycle safety: notifying other bicyclists when passing them. When approaching another bicyclist when you are about to pass, always clearly call out “Passing!” or “Passing on your left!” -- J.H. in Ohio Thanks for a good addition to bicycle safety hints! Of course, this is in a situation where one is assuming that it is safe and legal to pass another bicyclist. That said, in my mind, the most important safety aspect is wearing a helmet. -- Heloise LAUNDRY ROOM Dear Heloise: I keep a pair of reading glasses in the laundry room for reading washing instructions on garments. Some of those labels have very small print. -- Jodi, via email SAVE MONEY Dear Heloise: I like to have a few plain almonds, walnuts or pecans each day because it is healthy. The ones from the produce section of the grocery store are much cheaper than ones in the baking aisle. With Christmas baking season coming up, this could be a way for all those bakers to save a little dough. -- Jeanette M., via email Yes it is! Remember this all year long, too! -- Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O.
