Dear Heloise: I have an emergency info card that I hope I never need, but I carry with me regardless. Here’s what it looks like:

RUN THIS WAY

Dear Heloise: I advise my daughter, who likes to run for exercise in the park: Don’t wear your hair in a ponytail; it’s too easy for someone to grab. Pin it up in a bun. Also, carry a travel-sized hairspray. If you are attacked it can sting the eyes of your attacker pretty good. -- Bob G. in Fla.
BUNNY EARS
Sat, 03/06/2021 - 12:00am
Dear Heloise: A foolproof way for shoelaces to not come untied: I crisscross the laces, one over the other like normal, and make the first “bunny ear.” Then, instead of wrapping the other lace around the ear once, I wrap it twice and then make the second “ear,” pull the lace through, and fluff out the bow.
TOOL TIME

Dear Heloise: I hardly ever buy new hand tools, yard tools, etc. I look for them at garage and estate sales. The prices are wonderful, and the quality is usually much better than today’s merchandise. -- Robin R. in Texas
