Dear Heloise: In regard to Elaine, who asked what to do with linens that are packed in pretty cloth sacks, I use my fabric sacks to pack underclothes when going on a trip. I make sure to take an empty one as well, and as items become dirty, I put them in the empty one. Just make sure that all your bags look different or mark them with a fabric marker. — L.J.M., in Cincinnati

DOES IT EVEN MATTER?

Dear Heloise: Why would someone be so concerned whether their top sheet was perfectly centered? With all that we have to do in a day or a week, especially if we work outside our homes, why obsess over something so small as a perfectly centered sheet? If anyone complains about their top sheet not being exactly centered, then tell them to start making their own bed! There are many important events in our lives, but centered sheets don’t even rank among the top 100. — Linda-Jo, in Newberry, South Carolina

PET PAL
