(Talking to JM, NOT JD.) When you get that job, JM, please consider hiring me as a consultant.

If I can solve child-care issues. After that, it's even more up in the air, but LEND has definitely opened up future-trajectory possibilities.JoyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073328328434957851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-40436467401705450222010-05-09T06:29:54.244-05:002010-05-09T06:29:54.244-05:00Victoria - good point about the toilet handles.

Of course they make 'em hands-free (automatic sensor) for the commercial market, but that's super-expensive and has its own issues if you're not making a "typical" sequence of actions while using the facility. Or if you have a kid with sensory issues who fears the flush without warning... Maybe the sensor should be pointed to the side, so you could trigger it with a wave, but your motions while doing your business wouldn't be affecting it. I may also have another post at some point about situations in which different people have opposite needs from a product. Which makes "universal" even more of a challenge!JoyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073328328434957851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-21141773235290591672010-05-09T00:34:31.720-05:002010-05-09T00:34:31.720-05:00So now that the LEND plate is out of the rotation,...So now that the LEND plate is out of the rotation, will you be spinning any new plates?

India loves to flush the toilet and look inside the bowl to see what's happening, it's just some of those handles are so hard to push.Viktoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04270724714277015580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-64294048319766571192010-05-08T21:37:15.666-05:002010-05-08T21:37:15.666-05:00At least now I know what to write about if I want ...At least now I know what to write about if I want my husband to leave a comment!JoyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073328328434957851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-70318013757927754492010-05-08T11:48:17.981-05:002010-05-08T11:48:17.981-05:00Speaking as a guy...
