A VERY LONG TIME AGO... WHILE OUT DELIVERING MAGAZINES, I STOPPED AT A HAMBERGER JOINT WITH A BIG YELLOW "M" IN FRONT.. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE HAMBERGER, BUT I WAS FASCINATED WITH THE GLEAMIMG STAINLESS STEEL AND EH PROCESS OF PRODUCING THE HAMBERGER-I CAME HOME AND TOLD MY HUSBAND TO INVEST IN THAT COMPANY... WHOEVER THEY WERE... I HAD A SHORT TERM MEMORY THEN AND DID NOT KEEP AFTER THAT PROJECT... SO HE DID N'T
NOT QUITE SO LONG AGO , I WAS HANDLING A DOG FOR A COMMERCIAL FOR A COMPANY THAT HAD A NEW GIMMICK TO TEST BLOOD FOR LYME.. COUPLE DROPS OF BLOOD---- SNAP THE THING DOWN AND WAIT 20 MINUTES AND YOU HAD A PRETTY ACCURATE TEST RESULT//-- I WAS IMPRESSED THEN ... AND TOLD TEH WORLD THIS IDEXX COMPANY HAD A GOOD THING GOING.......\ I STILL AM IMPRESSED....--- NO QTIPS,VIALS,COAGGULATE OR ANYTHING COMPLICATED... THE THING IS SMALLER THAN THE POO PICKERS WE CARRY IN OUR BACK POCKETS. AND NOW TESTS FOR 4 OTHER TICK BORN THINGS ATY THE SAME TIME.... IDEXX--- IF THEY EVER GET HOLD OF THE PROCESS FOR THIS COV VIRUS..... IN THIER LITTLE SNAP PACK IT WOULD MAKE MCDONALDS LOOK LIKE A BAD INVESTMERNT.
FORTUNATELY I AM NOT HINDERED BY AN EDUCATION IN BIOLOGY-- BUT THAT PROCESS IS WHAT COULD GET THEI COV BIT TO A MANAGEABLE LEVEL- HOW SMALL ARE THEY?? I BET 4 WOULD FIT IN A CIGARETTE PACK.. I HAVE SEEN SOMETHING ON TV VERY SIMILAR TO THAT IDEXX SNAP TEST---- SO WHO HOLDS TEH PATENT TO THE PROCESS????
NOT THAT PATENTS EVER ARE THE LIVING END...... HERE WE GO...
YOU ALL HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF TRAILERS BEING PULLED BEHIND DUMP TRUCKS -- THESE TRAILERS CARRY BACKHOES/TRACTORS-- 99% OF TEH TIME THE RAMP ON THOSE TRAILERS IS A RIGHT ANGLE THAT SWINGS DOWN TO BE A WELL SUPPORTED RAMP.. THE ORIGIONAL PATENT FOR THAT RAMP IS ON THE WALL OVER CHAOS HEAD/ BEHIND THE FOLDED TOWELS.. FATHER HAD A WONDRFUL TIME INVENTING THAT ...HOWEVER THE LAWYER WHO HELPED WITHTEH LEGAL ASPECTS DID NOT "TIE UP" THE DESIGN OF THE HINGE .AS A BIG COMPANY JUST CHANGED TEH HINGE AND HE NEVER MAKE DIME ON IT... BUT HE HAD A GOOD TIME.
VERY LIKE ME INVENTING THE FEMALE PORTABLE PEEING DEVICE NOW SOLD A S "SHEE WEE" ( FOR THOSE NEW COMMERS, THE INTERESTING PART OF THAT IS.. IN AN EFFORT TO SPEED UP CARRYING AROUND 8 GIRLS OF OUR 4H GROUP. I "INVENTED" TEH THING. AND TESTED IT OUT WIITH A FEMALE FRIEND IN A LOCAL RESGTAURANT ... ONLY TO HAVE SOMEON E LOOK UNDER THE STALL DOORS AND NOTICE " THOSE ARE MEN.....THEIR FEET ARE POINTED THE WRONG WAY" .)
SO I DIDN'Y MAKE A DIME EITHER... BUT IT WAS FUN.
MOVING ON....
