Please warn your readers of the charity scams that are now very popular with thieves.
“If they want you to donate, have them mail you information. Better yet, simply say, ‘I take no solicitations over the phone’ and hang up.” — Frank H., Washington, D.C.
Dear Heloise:
We all know how expensive lipstick is today. Well, I usually scoop out what is left of my lipstick and put it in a small plastic tub from the dollar store. I microwave the container with the lipstick. This melts the lipstick, making it easy to blend colors. Use a lip brush to apply the new color. — Myrna F., Lady Lake, Fla. Myrna, it’s an economical and clever way to use all of your lipstick. — Heloise
