Subject: Inventions you long for....

Written By: 2kidsami on 05/09/14 at 9:42 pm

I was just chatting with some folks (cause here in Iowa we are all folk around here) and I want some inventions to be made.  Whether it is just a longing or to make life easier... we all know that there are things we want, that just can't be found in store.

I would like to see a machine that I can put a pile of burger in, press it into a perfect patty, and grill it to perfection (yes flame broiled ) with no pink....  no ick no mess.  AND I DONT HAVE TO WATCH (I know - ideally this would be a man thing, but my man doesn't cook/grill... not wanting to get a new man)...

I would also like to see a spray to de ice the windshield of my car (yes all you do gooders - make it safe for the environment) I HATE SCRAPING WINDSHIELDs, and I just don't have time (and sometimes gas) to defrost it by letting the car run...  It also needs to have a good stream, as I cannot reach center of truck windshield without hazardly hanging off the running board)

My other longing is a costume for the "little" man in my life... I need a super man G-string that gives the little guy a cape when he is flying high!

Sarah and I were just talking about this yesterday.

I would like an automatic back scratcher.  It would have nails like hers, they are perfect, and would move around enough to get your whole back.

I good shoulder massager would be perfect to, one that just doesn't vibrate you to death...  but works in and kneads your shoulders and muscles.

during the cold winter months I was just thinking about this long time ago, earmuffs with an iPod so that way you can keep warm and jam to your favorite songs at the same time.

They have that.  Google earmuffs headphones.  You can get wired headphones to plug into your iPod or Walkman  they also have Bluetooth wireless earmuffs for those with more up to date music players. (Ie smartphones or anything with Bluetooth capability)

the only de over Walmart sells that I have found are the little cans that you stick the straw into your keyholes to free them up if you have an ice storm (or wash your vehicle only to have it drop below freezing temps).  I have looked.  Really don't think I could reach much on the truck with that spray bottle, if it sprays like windex!  I hate how tall the truck is!  It is so inconvenient (unless driving through a field, don't have up worry about bottoming out)!

My choice is somewhat controversial, but you did ask so it's only fair to tell.

A descrambler which will unscramble pixillated pictures in media articles where identities are obscured. Why should the guilty be protected? Also, what cannot be done and said openly should not be done and said at all.
