Well, you know, if you have a bad day and lifes a curse, cheer up-tomorrow may be worse! Consider, my dad got his superannuation through about 8 months ago; a measly40K, after nearly a year and a half since legally, legitimately asking for its liquidation and release, it was down to about 20k on release. That's right-it actually lost MORE than the overall market through that period, as much potentially as the warhol since the heady days of cashed up neo-suits bidding up anything in sight. Moral of the story, give away control of your finances to anyone, and you will get screwed, so, the warhol, at least it's not your life savings hey? Me, well, on blood pressure meds-went to the quack, 180/120, not fantastic, so i bought one of those monitors-seems to work great. A relative once recorded 300+/200+, should have been quite deceased, the doc used 5-6 different monitors, eventually told them to stand outside-presumably to see if they would fall down dead, straight to hospital, oddly, they felt fine. So, it really sucks when massive, and presumably immediate lifestyle changes are necessary, but you dont really know how to do it-changing your entire lifestyle, basically overnight, big ask I think.
You know, that already has meaning of sorts-and im what mid thirties, "ollies trolleys", great ice cream, chicken things, (burgers, rolls, lunch /dinner packs) great chips, bloody marvellous medium fast food. An actual chain, that WAS good. Kfc moved in, maccas, gone in a couple of years, turned into a tire joint IIRC. They had terrible management i gather, either that or just paid off by the super franchises to dissapear-same difference. Suburb living-is what, the asian run milk/bread/newspaper joint on the corner? If you didn't have a tiny backyard for the dog/kids to play in, and a space to park your car, how would you even know you weren't living in an apartment? I always think of the endless cookie cutter medium density images of (the movie) Edward Scissorhands, as the "image " of suburbia...might be unfair, but holy cow, if thats not depressing, i don't know what is. Your right nutmeg, I shall have to coin a phrase to do so, but "Substandia" might be the phrase your looking for. No particular community spirit, no overwhelming truly local business, no....nothing much at all in fact, just the medium density housing tracts of such vast proportions, if a homeless person lived there, they would have to hike for days on end just to get out of the place and see a real forest or parkland,much less have a crap in the woods without being dobbed in by some community watch do-gooder, at least, after the malls close. Too cynical? I try not to be too cynical.
If you are not moved, or shaken, by this, then perhaps you are not a mover or shaker. Boohah, and all that. Read'em and weep, what a great track. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlci-kCEaKE
Did anyone else see the amazing phenomenon of the moon, jupiter and saturn, lined up in a once in 50year smiley face? Of course not, only visible in the southern hemisphere. On the one hand, i've never seen them that bright, but on the other-smiley face, my butt. Sure, if you were picasso maybe.
So, i have an idea for a product. This product is a variation on a theme, but for a completely different purpose, (from original theme) in fact possibly a niche market, though its so logical it could have broad market appeal. But i dont have any idea where to start, as i cannot physically make this product myself, nor have the skills to turn it into its finished "product" if you like. I have not found anything like this product on the market, yet its a fairly obvious application, AND could be so easily ripped off its not funny. TFTD; What do i do?
Oh Ac, I come up with so many of these ideas usually in the workout space for some reason. My latest idea is a suction sprinters heel holder that one puts on the floor slips one's shoe into before pulling on those annoying bands. As the products all need a second use... When I type I would slide my feet in the sprinters heel holder to arrest Restless Leg Syndrome! Not bad eh? Well Dec 11th as the world end in a fiery hell, the auction goes off- Pray for me Ac! I'll keep you informed. ~ stoney
Well, i cant pray for you, presumably some incense and some sort of incantation would suffice though. I'm not talking about my "keyboard return" engine, for gamers who suddenly get overwhelmed with mouse clicks, and suddenly need their previously pushed forward (to accommodate big mags and fries) keyboard right there. No, nor am i talking about my automatic sunscreen applicator, turns out a squeeze bottle with a sponge on it doesn't fly in the market. This, is better-this, is different. Its -damn good , i think. definite market. My thought for the day, is what a**hole reduced my fine thread, to 3 stars? Without bothering to contribute? What a gip. Someone has the time, to vote a rating, but nooooooooo, cant be bothered to share their daily ramblings. Good luck stoney, as you have pointed out, your auction could be very fickle indeed.
Hummmm you " can't " pray for me. This is a big hint in the Acronym puzzle. Hands won't clasp or is it a moral issue. I've never been to church or where the jewish people go and I am half and half- still I can pray in a general way for the Giants to get back on the winning track against Dallas and for you Ac. And for you. That ranting about a star strikes close to home... How is done Ac? what is the STAR secret how are they awarded? Where's the button. PLEASE TELL ME; you seem adapt at technical stuff... Your invention I am here to help you as I always have been. You needn't hide in the bush anymore. Friends are here to help you with whatever you have invented... and I will give you a star if you tell me how. Does this invention extinguish entire species like the last one... Is it food related? Do people sweat on it? Is sex involved? Video? Audio? Animals? Are little Animals involved... roaches maybe... I'm getting a claravoient thing I know I spelled that wrong-- it's a TRAP of some kind mouse or rat or roach or technical TRAP a filtering system, spywhere Ad push something like that... AM I close? The Auction begins tomorrow....~si
Well, if god is everywhere and all knowing, then he already knows you got to bid up your work, right? Prayer is redundant. Look for some guy in robes and sandals,at the auction, with crazy eyes-and who probably wont pay Well, its not really an invention, more a frustrated non-engineers solution to a product that doesn't seem to exist, despite maybe millions of different models already. Food related-no. Do people sweat on it-yeah, and thats the damn problem!! Is sex involved-could be, people have been known to wear them in the act. Video or audio , well not really-except there's one in almost every movie or film clip going around. Your entirely correct though, it could be used as an impromptu small critter/ larger bug trap, and is supposed to filter "something" as effectively as some other versions of much the same thing-but with a specific benifit. And i have considered bug-proofness. I already know what marketing guys would say, but then , i already know what i think of marketing guys. They suck!! This is pretty cool though-new models have the option of amas and a sail. http://www.hobiecat.com/kayaking/models_adventure.html
