HINTS FROM HELOISE:
Dealing with spam text messages on cellphone.
Dear Readers:
Today is Sept. 11, Patriot Day. Take a moment to remember why we honor this day, and why we are so privileged to live in a country where we are free because of the brave. Heloise
Dear Readers:
Have you gotten spam text messages? Companies use computer software to put together random phone numbers that then shoot out text messages to these numbers, in the hopes of getting a nibble.
Annoying, yes. To put a halt to this, report the spam to your cell provider. To stop legit text messages from companies you’ve done business with, replying “STOP” usually does the trick. Heloise
Dear Heloise:
Here’s my hint for getting ahead in school:
I always sit in the front row of the classroom, for the following reasons:
• It’s easier to see the blackboard.
• I won’t be distracted by other students.
• I won’t be afraid to ask questions. Gina T., Lubbock
This works for college, and for grade and high school, too. Never feel intimidated to ask questions. The question you ask is what everyone else is wondering, too! Heloise Heloise@heloise.com Heloise
