Hints From Heloise: Consider going tankless with your next water heater

The solution can be a water heater. Either a gas or an electric water heater heats water as needed instead of keeping water in reserve.

Instantaneous water heaters are more compact than traditional instantaneous water heaters, and instantaneous water heaters can save money on your monthly household energy bills. Talk to an expert in your area.

Dear Heloise, I teach my children to use a bath towel for a week before they wash. I tell them that when they get out of the shower they will be clean so the towel will stay relatively clean for the whole week.

That saves time and money on wash day.

Dear Readers, now that pretty much everyone has a phone with a camera component, let’s look at a hint to get better pictures. Does anyone know the “rule of thirds” in photography? Here it is in a nutshell:

Imagine your photo lens with a tic-tac-toe board on top: nine equal rooms. Photography experts agree that the subject of your image should lie on the vertical lines, one-third from each side, or where the lines intersect with the horizontal lines.

This creates a more intriguing and interesting image than one where the subject is centered in the image. You can imagine that there is more to the picture than this one subject. Is he looking at something? Towards something? Moving somehow? Fascinating!

When composing your next open photo, keep in mind the rule of thirds.

Dear Heloise, as the new year begins, I’ve trained myself to think differently about food. Instead of just eating for pleasure (which I still do occasionally), I now think of food as fuel for my body.

This helps me to eat healthier and more consciously.

Helen T. in San Antonio: I love it! Our minds are super strong and can definitely help us get strong, lean, and fit.

Dear Heloise, in my 80 years I have never heard of wearing bras several times before washing. I found the letter in today’s Villages Sun disturbing. The writer is not allowed to live in Florida.

Barb: Yes, that particular area of ​​the body can sweat profusely, and The Villages, Florida, can be quite warm!

However, good quality, well-fitting bras are often difficult to come by, and frequent washing can damage the bra’s fibers.

Sorry. My column should always be uplifting, heartfelt, and supportive!
