KEEPING PROGRESSIVE LENSES IN PLACE

Dear Heloise: I wear eyeglasses with progressive lenses that are fitted precisely, and unless they stay firmly in place, they can cause double vision. I realized that they tend to slip toward the end of the day, when there’s a buildup of oil on the skin. A little soap on the bridge of my nose and the top of my ears (and sometimes on the nosepiece and earpieces of the glasses) restores the firm fit. -- J.W., New York City

WATCH YOUR KITTY

Dear Heloise: I read your column in the Omaha World-Herald and would like to share this hint. I learned a scary (and expensive) lesson when I wasn’t watching my kitty, Sophie. Cats love yarn, ribbon and twine. It took her just a couple of minutes of inattention to eat 2 yards of twine. Two trips to an urgent pet care, two more to the vet, then Mother Nature finally took care of the problem. I now keep anything long and stringy (even dental floss!) out of Sophie’s way. Thank you. -- H.R., Omaha, Nebraska

PET PEEVES

PET PEEVES

Dear Heloise: If you are at an intersection where a right turn is permitted on red and you are in the straight lane, don’t pull so far out into the intersection so as to block the view of oncoming traffic for those turning. This applies especially to those drivers of big vehicles like SUVs, pick-up trucks and vans. Pay attention to the lines that mark the crosswalk.
