Light Bulb Moment

Ok, so I was walking through the shopping centre, wondering why I had insisted on wearing these godawful heels when I knew damn well I was going to have to walk round the shops, when I had an epiphany..

Why doesn't someone invent telescopic heels?  That way you can have the sophisticated high heel vamp look for work, or the races, but then when your feet get sore and you need flats, you press a button the side of the shoe and adjust the heel so it disappears into the shoe. Aaaah! comfy shoes instantly!

I was so amazed with myself that I had to rush straight home (albeit with burning soles) and blog about it.

Hmmm better just check first that no-one else has this before I declare it as my idea.

Dammit! Someone already had the idea in 1960!
and a similar one came out as early as 1956!

As I was born in the 70's I guess I can't say that I thought of it first! Wonder why they never caught on?

Even Chanel had a light bulb moment about shoe heels:

Guy from States is making dirty cars into works of art.

The thing that astounds me most is that he's not just drawing a picture, he's actually removing dirt to reveal the picture.

A truly remarkable talent on a truly remarkable artist.

There seems to be an increasingly frequent mention of Bear Grylles... the man who can survive anywhere or anything.
I would love to lock him in an empty room and shout "Get out of that ya bastard" with an evil Mwah ha ha!

Discovered there is even a Bear Grylles drinking game! Not one for the faint hearted either.. so 1 pot screamers beware!

And for a Chuck Norris-esque laugh once in a while - check out the Bear Grylls Quotes and Facts

my fav.... Bear Grylls doesnt walk places….he spins the earth to wherever he wants to go!

I had to sell some tyres for work, so put them on e-bay.  First I did a quick bit of research to see what the competition would be like, and what sort of things people put in their description.

I came across this sale: TYRES 18" (2) BOTH BLACK, ROUND, SMELL LIKE RUBBER


You HAVE to check out the description.. please click on the link cause it's too big to post here.
 
I felt compelled to post a question:
Hi there, I don't really wanna buy them, but I live close by and wondered if I can come over and have a wiff sometime. I love the smell of rubber.


And to my absolute joy today I got a response:
Dear bluehappybunny,
I can see you are a kindred spirit, and obviously a connoisseur of the fine rubbery fragrances. Such enthusiasm, and love for the rubberous pong must of course not be dampened. So please feel free to come by and do what happy bunny's do with the tyres. Who knows, we might be blessed with the sound of little screaching bunny tyres in 9 months time!!

I guess I'm feeling melancholy this week, or maybe just searching for motivation....

This is from the Blogess photo stream. The more I see of her, the more I am completely amazed by her, and completely jealous of her!

She also led me to this....

Spot the Difference

Being a Fleet Manager and general subscriber to crap, I often get advertising e-mails.  Todays special little beauty was from NewFarmmachinery.com.au.

Normally I just delete them, but one of their feature articles on a new Bale Wrapper Range caught my eye.

I felt sure I have seen this design before

Yep that's right, I think they have appointed Hanna or Barbera as their vehicle designer.

Viral Poem

He didn't like the casserole

And he didn't like my cake,

He said my biscuits were too hard

Not like his mother used to make.

I didn't perk the coffee right

He didn't like the stew,

I didn't mend his socks

The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer

I was looking for a clue..

Then I turned around and

smacked the shit out of him...

Like his mother used to do.

P.s: The photo came from here: check out the rest, they are awesome!

I really REALLY wish that this scheme had been around when my boy was only a baby.

The baby whisperers

They call it "Sleep School" - a fantastic way for the parent to learn the steps of controlled crying, with a sane minded  assistant there in the way of a nurse, a medical professional you can trust to be stern but fair, and to not have irrational, sleep deprived ideas clouding their judgement. 
The concept of controlled crying is a good one, but when most parents have the need for this method, they do not have the mental strength and energy to carry it through correctly.

Whoever brought this scheme into fruition deserves the nobel peace prize!

I thought that a Meme was just a regular Q&A, theme or inspiration that a group of people got involved in (like the ones that I sometimes do) However it's much more like a blogging "in thing", or it seems to be anything that goes viral.  This site is very enlightening!
