Dear Heloise: My suggestion is to carry two (different type—Heloise) major credit cards. When in a foreign country recently, I found an airport desk that would accept only one type, and I had the other. It was quite an annoyance.—Tom Cronin, Houston



FAST-FOOD NAPKINS

Dear Heloise: When I go to a fast-food place for an order, I get a handful of napkins. I used to toss them. Now, I put them on the kitchen counter and use in place of paper towels.—K.M., via e-mail
