Hints from Heloise
Dear Heloise: I like to recycle my used computer/typing paper by cutting it in half and using it for scratch paper. I also put a stack of used paper in my fax machine because we keep getting so many junk faxes. – Katherine Serio Butler, Lake Sam Rayburn, Texas
We recycle paper here at Heloise Central, too. We reuse the side without printing. We simply load it back into the printer, but have put a note on the printer about which way the paper should go to prevent printing something over the original item. – Heloise
Dear Heloise: I recently bought a used freezer that had an awful cigarette-smoke odor inside. I tried many things. Then my mom remembered an old hint to put an open can of coffee inside for a few days (keep the freezer running). After two days, the smell was gone, and the coffee didn’t leave a smell either. – Nita, via e-mail
