I don't know where to start. I've read a lot of guides, but there are no detailed, step-by-step, simple and easy instructional guides for getting all of my stuff into boxes and protecting my furniture simply and cheaply. Luckily, I'm only moving a few miles, but I never have had to move before, and this is overwhelming. Do you have any advice for me? -- Jeff, e- mail Dear Jeff: Make a decision that you will not move one thing that you do not use on a regular basis or that doesn't bring beauty to your life. Get rid of everything else by holding a garage sale, posting to Craigslist and The Freecycle Network (while you're at these websites, see whether you can find moving boxes that someone is trying to get rid of) or filling a trash bin. Then set the day. Borrow a truck. Engage your friends to help, and load it up. Happy trails! Dear Mary: I have large bal- ances on two of my credit cards. How can I negotiate my balances and fees down? -- Luevelle C., e- mail Dear Luevelle: If someone who owed you money came to you to negotiate a lower amount, how would you react? I doubt whether you would be all that willing to cooperate, and I sure wouldn't blame you. Look, you borrowed the money (that's what you do when you use a credit card), and now you are trying to figure out how not to repay what you borrowed? Whenever I hear com- mercials that imply that the credit card compa- nies and banks are greedy, it sets my teeth on edge. You must not have thought of them as greedy when you accepted their money and terms. Now you have an obligation to pay it back. If you truly Mary Hunt cannot, then that's something dif- ferent. Otherwise, it seems to me that you should do the honorable thing and repay these debts, including the fees, as soon as pos- sible. Dear Mary: I recall you said that you use all-white linens. How do you keep them white? I have some whites, and they turn grayish with time. If I use bleach, my linens deteriorate quickly. I like white towels and sheets, but I just don't know how to clean them Everyday Cheapskate well. -- Zarina, e-mail Dear Zarina: I am a fanatic when it comes to bright white towels and sheets. I separate white towels and sheets from col- ors and wash them in the hottest water my water heater will produce, along with detergent. Once a month, I add 1/2 cup of liquid chlorine bleach to the wash cycle of all of my white loads that week, followed by an extra rinse cycle. (I do have a large- capacity washer, so I would adjust the bleach accordingly for a smaller machine.) I am not con- vinced that this small amount of bleach shortens the life of my white linens. But if it does, I'm more than willing to give up a few months of useful life on the back end to enjoy whites that are not dingy. Do you have a question for Mary?

Her passenger, a 15-year- old Cottonwood girl, and the other driver, Frederik Kooistra, 69, of Red Bluff were unin- jured. Kooistra was stopped behind Wong, both waiting to turn right onto Bowman, looking left to see if traffic had cleared. Kooistra thought Wong had turned and acceler- ated forward before noticing she was still stopped and rear-ended Wong’s vehicle. Both vehicles had minor damage.
