Great Ideas, 2% Net to me

.

My buddy Leslie has a list of Great Ideas on her blog. She's hoping someone will see her ideas, implement them, and send her 2%.

This is an excellent idea in itself, and I will give her 2% of anything I make from anyone taking one of my great ideas and running.....


Here is my first Great Idea.

With all of us aging baby-boomers out here, someone should start making decorative hearing aids. Hell with making them invisible -- cover 'em with rhinestones. Make 'em pink with green polkadots. Etc, etc, etc.

I have a whole stable of cheap reading glasses because I can get excellent colors and patterns (with matching cases, sometimes).

Take this one step farther, and let people accessorize their hearing aids.

Go for it, someone. Just remember -- 2% net to me...... Leave a comment here and I'll get back to you with my contact info!

So would that be I get 2% of your 2%? :)

I think the aging Baby boomers market is HUGE.
And your idea of "embracing your spangley outer hearing aid" is a great idea!

We're gonna be rich!

Custom paint on the Hover-round Scooters...ya know, flames, and candy apple fade.

Yep, you get 2% of my 2%. :-)

Don't you think there's an unlimited market for this stuff!

Love your extension for the custom paint!

That is EXACTLY what I'm thinking.

They do have decorated canes now -- why not hearing aids, scooters, supportive shoes, sweat suits.....

We could sell Be-Dazzlers!

I thought a coupling device should be invented for Hover-rounds so they could make trains in the malls and on the streets.
Would bring a new meaning to the term 'hooking up' with someone.

We need to invent the put-em-on-hard-surfaces equivalent of the be-dazzler..... For the scooters as well as the hearing aids.....

Several years ago my niece decided that she and my daughter needed to pimp the grandparents. So they bought some bling (one large dollar-sign pendant, with sparkly "stones", and one cross, likewise), and taught the grandparents to say "Yo, sup Dawg," and other useful phrases.

It was pretty funny. (And my parents thought so, too... :-) )

This is the same -- tricking out all the accessories....

Imagining a scooter with those glass "pebbles" glued all up and down and around...............

And those handle-bar streamers that little girls have............

With matching shades.

And hearing aids.

:-) lol...............


As for the coupling device -- only if they all agree to let the one in the front steer. Otherwise I have visions of a tangled-up mess as they all try to go their own ways..... :-)
