I want a closet where you can hang even the dirtiest clothes and they are cleaned without water. I really don't like doing laundry. My husband does most of it, bless him.

I know there are instant glass frosters on the market but I can't find one.

Those freezy mugs rashore mentioned below are great, by the way.

I see where you are going with this...

As far as I understand, a microwave works basically by 'exciting' the molecules in an object, making them 'more energetic' which causes them to heat up (some one correct me if I'm wrong please)...

So what we need is something that 'de-excites' the molecules - or calms them down: what ever- and causes them to cool down... If this is so.. .does something already exist that does this (short of actually using ice?)...

To be honest .. I have no idea.. I once tried looking this up  of what I had in mind and I got nowhere ....

For cooler pillows, some of the memory foam ones and buckwheat pillows are supposed to be pretty decent. I think chillows are pretty neat though.

The dog silencers are purported to work for noisy cats too.

I want surveillance octopods for my yard and a data recording tank to follow me through the garden. But for that I must have patience and wait for the hubby to finish making them, lol.

The link Michelle  found and posted was excellent..  They called them the CHILLOW..  cool name too  ( pun not intended )...   I would love those over here , like I said I would buy at least 6 of them......I have  tried to buy cool pillows before  .. but the ones I got from Argos   are not that good..   I guess I believed the hype at the time..

Question - Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, only to find your feet really hot?........  I  do  and it annoys me.. If I had those  pillows I could place one at me feet too  ..

So dog silencers can be used on noisy cats too? If so,  I have to get me one of those.. ...

i would like to invent something that is invisible to me but the birds could see it and not fly into my windows all the time

also, i would like to have an alarm clock that quietly woke me with a soft message like good morning jackie the coffee is ready

speaking of which, why isn't there coffee scented air freshener??

it would also be cool to have a device that flipped up at the end of my driveway with an image of a kid on a bike for whenever someone too stupid to see the 'not a thru road sign' has to turn around in my driveway.

This must have been what I was thinking of.

Here is the old commercial. lol

http://www.spike.com...t/glass-froster

It just uses liquid carbon dioxide.

Chillows can be shipped internationally. Google "chill pillow"...there are quite a few links to different kinds.

A pill you could take that would make a drunk person sober.

The benefits would be tremendous.

Thanks BM!...

My original intent was for just goofy 'wish' kind of inventions like my first post... but I also posted this on another site and someone there suggested a monitor that reminds the driver that there is a baby in the car before they get out...  That could actually save lives!

Sometimes a goofy thread does do good!

OK  I have another   invention  wish ...........

I saw this on Dr. Oz. Not a blanket, but....

Or you could get a waterbed and not use the heater. I love a waterbed, but if you don't keep the heater on even in the summer it'll freeze you to death! *brrrr*

You are a dippy bint.

It would be cool to have one if you could still get the co2 refills.

[rashore]

I may be wrong about this.. But don't they use CO2 for paint ball guns?

Offhand I don't know. I'm pretty sure it is what they use for sugar and chocolate sculptures to quickly connect pieces together. I guess you could just buy those and spray the glasses in a pinch. It would probably be cost prohibitive to do it on a regular basis though. It would be nice for a special occasion. Oh, I think the light bulb came on over my head.

We have a good supply of the freezy mugs you were talking about.
