Toll Positions - Harvey Brody's Patents Live On
I love it when someone provides elegant solutions to problems. You know the type of thing - the wooden drawer in your wardrobe stops running smoothly and jams every time you open and close it - and then someone tells you to rub candle grease on the runners to make it run smoothly again. That's a fast, cheap solution to a daily problem - and although you might choose to have the drawer repaired by a carpenter, the candle grease works well in the meantime.
Now imagine it was you who provided the candle grease solution; further, if you had patented the solution and sold the candle grease in a dispenser just for this purpose, and had arranged the manufacture of this dispenser, selling it to distributors, then you control the whole process. You also earn money on each and every sale of your invention.
That's effectively what Harvey Brody did many years ago now as a young man when he invented the Zoom-Spout® Oiler. It is still being sold today - see the Zoom Spout Oiler being sold right now on eBay.

How do I ask my girlfriend to marry me?
“The Wedding Proposal Of Her Dreams”
Popping the question…it’s not so easy is it? And the last thing you want to do is ask the question in such a way that it’s about as memorable as last weeks left over stew. You want the day you asked your sweetheart to marry you to be as memorable for her as her wedding day itself. Yes, it IS possible. All you have to do is use a little imagination. This article will give you some tips to get you started.
Hopefully, if you’re actually serious about marrying this girl, you know quite a bit about her. Of course these days, that’s not always a given. But for our purposes, we’ll assume you do. Great, so what does she like? What places has she told you about that she’d love to visit? What’s her favorite food? What’s her favorite night out? What does she long for almost as much as your company? If you’ve made a mental note of these things, coming up with a wedding proposal idea shouldn’t be hard.
For example, let’s say that your gal has always wanted to go to a Broadway play. Let’s say that her favorite ones are the love stories. You know, where the guy gets the gal at the end. This is perfect. At the end of the play, when she’s crying with tears of joy, pull out the ring from your pocket, open up the box, take it out, take her hand and say, “Darling…will you marry me?” Think she’s crying now? You ain’t seen nothing yet. This will be a memory she will not soon forget.
Another thing you might want to do is find out from some of her friends if this is something that she’d like to share with them. Some friends know things like this. If so, arrange to have some kind of public gathering. Maybe a party for her and her friends. And then, at the end of the evening, you ask for everybody’s attention and then, with the room dead quiet, you go through the ritual. Your gal will be absolutely speechless.
These are just a couple of the many things you could do to put some zing into your wedding proposal. However, if you want some really killer ideas, check out the link in my signature. It is a review of a great resource with more wedding proposal ideas than you can shake a stick at.
This is one day you want your gal to remember.
