The Post-It bookmark

It's only 2016, but this Heloise reader has hit upon one of the original intents for the Post-It! The sticky notes have their origins in the late 1960s and a chemist named Spencer Silver.

Nice work, Dorothy.

P.S. Thanks to The Washington Post for putting its Heloise columns online.

The tired dryer trick

Heloise is my favorite. The reader hints that run in her columns are often worthy of facepalms and usually a "good, Lord, it's 2016."

From reader Judy Z., today.

Dear Heloise: When my clothes are slightly wrinkled...

Even my husband, who doesn't touch anything laundry-related with a 10-foot pole, knows this.
