How to patent your invention
Tips for getting your great idea a patent. Get a blank notebook and draw out your idea. Write a description for your diagram.If it is something that you can make yourself, for a prototype, then do so. If you need to get outside help, then have the artist, welder, or whoever sign a confidentiality agreement. The most important tip is to get a patent attorney, who regularly does patents. It is okay if this attorney is in another city, because you may not have a patent attorney in your home town. Don’t make my major mistake. I asked an attorney, who I used to do business with to recommend someone. He endorsed his new, just passed the bar partner, and said that she would do a great job. An inexperience lawyer, who did not specialize in patents should have raised a red flag. My patent application was so botched that it was returned and I had to have a patent attorney in another city to tend to it. You can go online and see if there are any other products, like the one you want to patent. when you get a great idea, write it down right away. I’m still trying to remember my fantastic, can’t live without it one, from several months ago. Think of this as an adventure.
Prevent/Treat Sunburn Peeling
If you or your child gets a sunburn, here is a tip to prevent peeling or stop it in it’s tracks. Mix equal parts of Apple Cider Vinegar (the darker type) and water in a small container. Apply this mixture over the sunburn areas, including over the white, flakey peeling skin ( it will stop peeling after this). Use this mixture at least every 1/2 hour to hour durning the first 24 hours. Put this mixture by your bedside , so you can apply this over the sunburned areas, if you wake up during the night, without having to get out of bed. Yes you may smell like a salad during this process, but it is better to have the sunburn go into a tan vs. white, peeling skin. Remember to apply sunscreen frequently and not wait until you feel a burn. Get a small travel or sample size of sunscreen to make it easier for kids to tote it around.
Trading goods in foreign markets and saving money
Save money on items in souks and market places abroad. Take some of the latest jeans or other gadgets when going on vacation. I took some American jeans and traded them in the Istanbul souk for some great gifts. I took 2 cartons of American cigarettes to an upscale jewelry store in Jerusalem and bargained like mad. The store owner was so impressed that he offered me a job on the spot. Unfortunately, I was leaving soon and couldn’t accept it. I did get some lovely gold items from his shop. As a nurse, I wouldn’t take cigarettes again. When I went to Egypt, our guide told us about the nurses before us, having to take a long bus trip to a site, when the airplanes were on strike. He dreaded their return that evening, fearing he would hear nothing but complaints. Imagine his surprise when the nurses were so excited and said it was one of the best days of their lives. A nomadic caravan was in the desert and the bus stopped for it. The nurses got out, traded about everything on and with them, for lovely treasures from the desert, including jewelry and clothing. What a fantastic experience they had! Surprisingly, my kids t-shirts have been popular in Asia. This is a money saving tip, which is fun to do,
Exercise and Fitness
This is a resistance exercise that can be done at home, in a hotel room or cruise ship cabin, using a small hand towel. Stand with your legs apart and kness slightly bent. Put a small hand towel over your head and grasp the two ends, pulling on each end. Bend 5 times to the right and 5 times to the left from your waist, maintaining resistance with the towel. Keep going. This is great to do while your body lotion is drying. Not only do your arm muscles get a work out, but you will feel it along your sides as well. This can be followed by doing some squats, easy to do when you are travelling. Stand with your legs apart with toes pointing outward. Lift your big toes to avoid pressure on your knees. Then lower your bottom, like you are going to sit down. Keep your back in the same position, doing the bending from your knees. Remember to just take the stairs on cruise ships, then you can eat that great looking dessert.
