OK....I've got a few seconds off from studying. Came up with this question this morning (you'll see why later!) If you could invent one thing, what would it be? NOW.....here's the kicker, "IF" for some reason SOMEONE takes our ideas and actually creates them, we have no recourse in laying claim to our *ideas* So....with that said, I'll start:

The one item that NEEDS to be invented IS a "Heated toilet seat!" LOL! Seriously, for those of you who do not live in a COLD climate, you won't understand, but with temps being in the teens and twentys in the mornings now, I "HATE" being the first to *ahem, clears his throat* "sit on the throne on the morning! Talk about COLD BUNS

I've had this idea for at least 10 years or so, but I wouldn't know where to start to create one, but I'd be first in line to buy one. Of course, originally, the thought involved using a VCR. But with TiVO and DVR's and the rest of the digital upgrading in home entertainment, I've had to alter the idea. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before this is developed:

A television recording device that is programmable by telephone, from anywhere at anytime. Let's say you're at work and everyone else in the family is out (or like me, you're single), so no one is home. Important news breaks - good like Osama gets captured or, God forbid, bad like...well, I'd rather not even try to imagine something bad. Or, perhaps you went on vacation and simply forgot to set the timer to record ER. You could pick up the phone, call home, enter a code that connects you to your recording device (which would have a phone line connected to it, the same way that some DVR's do now for bill paying and PPV ordering), and then, using the keys on the phone and listening to the prompts from the machine, you can program it to record a certain channel at a certain time, or start recording right away if it's breaking news. And, since it's a DVR or TiVo, you can rewind the "live" broadcast back a few minutes to before the news broke, if you want to get the whole thing as it happened.



If someone takes the idea and makes it -- cool, because like I said, it would be a helpful item and I'd like to have one, but I don't know how to go about doing it myself. Besides, I have the idea protected now anyway.

A remote control for a spouse - with a mute button

Something to make your kids go to bed! (besides nyquil or benadryl..lol)
