HELOISE Hints help when drinking glasses stick together

Dear Heloise: I can't find the hint about what to do when drinking glasses stick together, and I have two that are. Could you let me know how to get them separated again? Ann from Atlanta
Here's a method to try that we received from a restaurant worker. Important: Don't try to pull the glasses apart. You could break or scratch them. Instead, try this: Lift the glasses by the inner glass and carefully tap the outer one with a piece of silverware. Have something soft for the glass to land on, as it should come apart on the first tap.
Caution: Don't put your hand in the glass unprotected. If the glass breaks, you could cause serious damage to your hand.
You can also try this: Put some ice cubes in the inner glass, which should make it contract, then set the outside glass in hot (not boiling) water, which should cause the outer glass to expand. Wait a few minutes and gently try to pull them apart. Good luck! Heloise
Dear Heloise: I have hand-quilted and sold baby quilts for years, and I love doing it. One has even gone as far as the Netherlands.
Because I hate to stop my work to thread needles, here is what I do: Before beginning each quilt, I thread 15 short needles, which are used for fine detail work, and 12 long needles, which are used for straight lines. I put them on my pincushion -- ready to go. Jean Andree, Jenison, Mich.
Dear Heloise: Here's another use for baby shampoo: When my two girls were babies, I started using their baby bath to wash my face. Before then, I always got soap in my eyes, but the baby bath is mild and gentle, and it does not bother my eyes.
Now that the girls are older, we all use baby shampoo or baby bath to wash our faces. I gave this hint to the ladies at work, and they buy the trial size of baby shampoo or baby wash just to wash their faces. N.C.M. in Houston
Dear Heloise: I like to be creative with my fresh-cut flowers and what serves as their background. So, here are my suggestions for greenery around fresh-cut flowers: Stick a little spider-plant baby into a bud vase before you put your rose in. The spider plant will survive in just water, and the effect is very nice. Use those trailing philodendron bits to surround other flowers. Ann Cox from Colorado
Dear Heloise: I have come across a cure for early-morning frosted auto mirrors. I place a plastic freezer bag over the mirrors each evening, and in the morning the mirrors are crystal-clear, and the bags are reusable. Works for both evening dew and winter ice. Chuck Mushett, Bella Vista, Ark.
