Million Dollar Ideas

Another million dollar idea: a heated body pillow. For those nights when you're chilly and your partner doesn't cotton to being snuggled by icy thighs.

I have a body pillow (which I love) and I have a heating pad (which is too localized and hot). Combining the two makes sense.

Give it boobs and the world is your oyster.

A heated cotton oyster?
Good times.

Well isn't this just the strangest thing.

I found this listing on Amazon this morning -- out of stock, unavailable -- but when I wanted to get back to the listing, to see if anybody else had stock, Amazon would not display it.

Even searching for the full correct name. I tried a dozen times.

Weird.

Since the heated body pillow is discontinued -- naturally, it was highly rated and very useful -- I decided to put together a "proof of concept" for myself. I took Fluffy, my full body pillow, and wrapped her up in an electric throw blanket I bought last year, then put the pillow case over it.

Works pretty well, but not great. The heat tends to get too hot where you touch the pillow and not hot enough elsewhere. But it's nice to fire it up and stick it under the blankets 15 minutes before getting in bed. Kind of like that old trick of putting coals or hot rocks in the bed.

This million dollar idea from a friend of mine: notepads of paper infused with catnip.

So you can tear off a sheet, crumple it up into a ball, and drop it on the floor.

[Edit: too good an idea not to have been thought of before]

Just a wee suggestion. Something to consider.

Wow. I guess all this time my kitty & I have had this thing all backwards!

While the tiger "mattress" seems unconcerned, think how less comfortable that man would feel if see could see how that other tiger is looking at him.

New million dollar idea: BabySegway(TM).  1/4 size Segways to help toddlers learn to balance and move around before they learn to walk.

Every parent can tell you what a terrible idea that is.

Mrs NoCo didn't think much of my first million dollar idea this morning -- doggie restaurants -- so I hit her with my second million dollar idea: a reality show about men choosing their first lawn mower, called "Say Nower To The Mower." There are so many choices -- rider or walk behind, rotary or cylinder, gas or electric, red or green....

A doggie restaurant sounds interesting, although I would suppose of limited patronage. Gives new meaning to "wiener dog."

A doggie restaurant in Korea would probably do a good lunch trade.

And kitties for dessert!

I think my new Million Dollar Idea has some real potential!

Huh. I always thought those were just very cool looking ukuleles.
