CLIPPIE

I have always been an inventor. I think I inherited it from my father who in 1963 put a simple switch on the end of a piece of speaker wire to the back of the TV and created the first mute button ... we called it "the blab-off"... In 1977 I was travelling through the interior of British Columbia with my daughter and I said "someone should invent something that folds down from the wall so people can change babies on it" ... somebody did... So this time, I'm the somebody! I was watching the TV show "Judging Amy", where Tyne Daly played a social worker who was always having to deal with her glasses. One day she looked up at her boss and she hung her glasses on her lapel. "I need what she has!", I exclaimed to whoever was nearby.
