| Changing address takes time, patience
Dear Heloise: It seems like such a simple thing to change one's address, but it was quite a chore remembering all the companies and places that would need to know about our new home. My husband and I started a list about two months before moving. We ended up with about 70 names and places we'd have to contact. Four weeks before moving, I started to contact them. Some were easy (I could do the change via e-mail); others required forms to be filled out or letters to be written; still others could be handled with a phone call. I'm glad I started well in advance. -- Jennifer Herron, Fullerton, Calif. Dear Heloise: I save small plastic bags that will accommodate two rechargeable AA batteries for my digital cameras. I get these when I have jewelry repaired or with some garments that have extra buttons.
