Hints from Heloise

Dad solves potty problem
Dear Heloise: This hint is for
DADS AND GRANDFATHERS on
outings with their little girls. I’m
not comfortable taking my
daughter into a men’s room,
because you never know what
you’ll find there. Furthermore,
they’re often filthy. Here’s my
work-around:
I open the ladies’ room door,
bang on it and shout: “JANITOR!
COMING IN!” That’s nonthreatening to most people. If anyone
is inside, they’ll let me know,
and I usually can arrange for a
woman to assist. If it’s empty, I
take my daughter inside, get her
set up and then stand in the
doorway of the ladies’ room until
she is finished. — Frank in
Birmingham, Ala.
Frank, you are a good father,
and there are many, many like
you! It’s not easy today, is it?
Look for a “family” restroom
where you can go in with your
daughter, lock the door and it’s
only one room.
As you said, the good: most
women are happy to help; the
bad: yuck — some men’s restrooms are filthy! Do men act that
way at home? At their mother’s or
grandmother’s house? I hope not!
— Heloise

Two for one
Dear Heloise: Here’s my solution to prevent powdered laundry
detergent from clumping. I pour
it into a garbage bag and twist it
tight so moisture can’t get in. It
also keeps spills inside the bag

when dipping out some for a load
of laundry. No mess on the floor
