I saw this in a magazine and thought it might be fun.

What do you wish someone would invent?

Oooh! I know what I want! I want a lotion applicator for my back. There are some out there, but they get gunked up and won't spread the lotion smoothly across my back.

And no, my husband is rarely around when I'm ready for lotion on my back, so he can't be my applicator.

A bi-locator. Or even tri. So I can be in two or three places at one time. Come to think of it, multiple would suit me as well.

a husband that ran on batteries so you could take them out & put him back in the box when you'd had enough of him for the time being.
Seriously, a car with a heat/blower type thing on the front to dry these snow covered roads ahead of our car.
IE: A road defroster on the front bumper!

These are fun.

I'd like ice cream that doesn't melt or drip.

QBall, those defosters would have to be so powerful to do the job so quickly! Maybe actual flames that were so hot and intense shooting out of the bumper. How about cars that won't rust no matter what??
How about jeans that would be made out of such a type of denim that they'd comfortably conform to your body and fit perfectly?

How about an underground mat under the driveway and yard that would keep ice and snow melting on contact? Well, that sounds nice but it would probably jack up the electric bill even more than it is already. Okay, forget it. Okay, I'll stop........for now.

How about something to kill fire ants instead of having to coax them into your neighbors yard....

Or a penalty ($'s out of their pockets) for doctors who overbook.

And Airlines that changed flight departure gates that are football field lengths apart.

QBall, send Mr. Sun this way, please! We're getting, snow, sleet, rain, freezing rain and you can't even walk to the car in the yard (pure ice). Anne, I definitely want to see THAT invented, too....a device that is under clothing, discreet and without sound allowing one to pee in their purse into a special receptacle.

you gals are sooo funny. I found this somewhere in the internet:

A man once went to the US Patent Office trying to register some of his
inventions. He went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the
desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down his personal
info and then asked what he had invented.
He said, "A folding bottle."
She said, "Okay. What do you call it?"
"A Fottle."
"What else do you have?"
"A folding carton."
"What do you call it?"
"A Farton."
She snickered and said, "Those are silly names for products and one of
them sounds kind of crude."
He was so upset by her comment that he grabbed the form and left the
office without even telling her about his folding bucket.

Me, too! I'd also need that bag we get in the plane to heave into. Amazing, is'nt it? Especially when childhood memories of flight go as far back as exterior propellers. And, Icarus.

These are all great. I especially love the self-cleaning house! I've said for years that it's the only thing that might tempt me to move

LadyJane, while on the outset this sounded like a good idea, the conservationist in me can not rationalize destroying all the world's forests to print the book.

I want a Brights-Back-Atcha mirror for the back of my car, so when idiots drive with their brights, you flip this baby on and the brights go back to the sender.

OK, maybe just for 2 seconds per flip, so they don't crash into me!

Automatic lowering toilet seats

A mop that works by itself...

Dust that walks right out of the house...

Chocolate that is slimming

A heated toilet seat please!

A continual toilet cleaner/scrubber.

Personal mono-rails to "zip" anywhere we want/when we want. (remember the Jetsons?)

I love the self cleaning toilet idea, Di. Ms. M, I know you and all the conservationists would be mad at me for the driveway thingy but I still want it...we just had 8 more inches of snow and now we're getting an ice storm on top of it. I want to run away sooooo bad. How about a huge climate controlled bubble around your home and property that would mimic any season and temperature that you want....no matter what's really going on? Didn't someone do something like that as an experiment somewhere?

Hey we may as well make it extravagant too.I would love the man who comes with batteries, he would be programmed BY ME to clean, toilets, all the bhouse until it sparkled. Then he would do all the shopping and cooking as well. And when plugged in down in the cellar, while recharging, he would be making perfect counterfeit $20.00 bills...

Oh yeah, Chatty. My nephew is one such man and he doesn't even require betteries! He owns two thriving businesses and yet comes home and prepares a beautiful dinner for the wife and two daughters. He also does all the vacuuming, laundry and on and on. The thing is he actually loves it and prefers to do it. A rare item he is!

Chatty, you should write a book. You have the knack for making me laugh out loud.
My Hubby is like your nephew LJ...He doesn't make counterfeit bills, though. Hmfg. Maybe I just have to whisper the idea in his ear while he’s asleep. Heh heh

Here are some cool German inventions.....
Now this is the kind of phone I could deal with:


Look closely at this one: Eeeeee gross! Pierced glasses!

This is kinda cute:
