Are You Gloves or Mittens?, a Birthday and For The Person Who Has Everything
As you know I entered a Photo Contest. It’s called January’s Photo Contest: The New Year. Well, yes you are going to see this on every post and yes I know I’m pimping my entry, but oh well. How else am I gonna win? LOL. All kidding aside, if and when you go to the site, please just take a look around. There aren’t very many entries this month and people took time to do this and they are all good and depict the theme very well. So I would appreciate it if you would take the time to go HERE to vote for the one you think should win. Voting is open from January 24 through the 27th. You can only vote once. You have my undying gratitude. Mahalo!!!
Of course this will be a post for a brand new adventure that Dr. John at Dr. John’s Fortress has started. Please click on his blog link or the picture below for further instructions. Mahalo Dr. John for hosting this new adventure. I look forward to it.

First paragraph is more me than anything. There is no scaevity living in Hawai’i when it comes to winter weather so why complain. Plenty of sunshine and warmth in the winter makes me very happy.

You Are Gloves |
![]() You seek control in your life. You like to feel like you have a handle on things. You are naturally competent and responsible. You don’t trust anyone but yourself. Winter is when you try to push on and live normally. You aren’t about to let cold weather slow you down. |

Mark at An Eerie Tapestry has a birthday today. WOOT! I understand that he is older than dirt. LOL. Have a great Birthday Mark and many many more.

You love toast, but you always burn it? Then this invention is for you. This transparent toaster allows you to see the bread while it is toasting so you just have to take it out when the color is right. This idea is based on a transparent heating glass technology.
One Click Butter Cutter controls your portion as an important part of staying healthy. This ingenious butter cutter delivers one standard pat with each click of the handle.
What day is today? You don’t know? Then you need a Day Clock. It’s uniquely designed to keep track of weekly events like your golf day, card night, movie night, and so much more. It’s ideal for vacations and cruises when it’s easy to lose track of the day.
Chalk outline crime scene beach towel – be the coolest person on the beach!
Laser Scissors Cutting a straight line has never been easier. Just aim the pin-point laser and follow the line. The scissor blades are stainless steel and cut very clean with a micro edge.
‘Who left the Toilet Seat up?’ The Peace Maker will end the battle of the toilet seat. Merely step on the pedal to activate the lifting mechanism. When finished, remove your foot from the pedal and the seat gently comes to a rest where it started.
Do you get up at night to drink water, go to the toilet. Do you wish you could see in the dark? Remarkably bright LED lights are triggered by your footsteps and light up the floor 30 feet in front of you; ultra-soft plush style are extra comfortable and cozy warm. (Now I would classify this as a necessity!)
The Zaky is an ergonomic infant pillow designed by a mum to mimic the size, weight, touch, and feel of her hand and forearm to help her baby with comfort, support, protection, and development.. The Zaky can help calm your baby and help your baby sleep better through the night.
If you are travelling a lot and don’t always know the language of the country you are visiting, then this T-shirt is for you. It has a phrase book printed on it so just point a finger at the pictogram you need and then point it twice at the question mark, which means, ‘Where is it?’ and in no time you have found what you were looking for… Or not. (Another possibility for the foreign language impaired)
Whether you want to sit on the sun or in the shade, near the river or under the tree… Now you have your movable bench, to sit wherever you like.
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou




















A transparent toaster? That’s wild! Love the crime scene towel too.
Isn’t it thought. Glad you enjoyed my friend
Happy birthday to Mark!
Evidently I am mittens:
“You Are Mittens
You seek comfort in your life. You want to feel as warm and cozy as possible.
You are naturally nurturing and caring. And you always make sure to take care of yourself!
Winter is your time to hibernate. You love to curl up on a cold night, even if everyone else is going out.
And when you do venture out of the house, you bundle up. You want to feel as warm as possible. ”
Pretty true.
I like the transparent toaster, day clock, and laser scissors!
Yeah that does seem to be pretty much you. I like that day clock for some reason. I just think it’s cool.
OK I’m blown away with some of those inventions…where did you find them and are they for real LOL!
Seems I’m gloves not mittens…
Happy birthday to Mark!
Me too. Well this came in an email to me so I just passed it on actually. I dunno if they are real or not, but they sure are cool to see
Thom;
I have to have that toaster, I can never tell when my toast is about to burn up!
I had not voted yet for the picture contest, don’t know how I missed it
I’m gloves by the way!
Have a good day!
Wouldn’t it be the bomb? Thanks for voting my friend.
Have a great day
It says I am mittens and I suppose I am! I don’t bundle up when I go out though. I hate winter coats MORE than I hate being cold! LOL!
I sO want those slippers! I am almost coveting those slippers!
LOL…covet away my darlin’ That’s one thing about winter I don’t like is having to get all bundled up
those are some interesting gadgets/inventions.
I love the slippers and the baby thing!
Glad you enjoyed my friend
They are interesting
What FUN!
Everybody wants the toaster and so do I!
The baby pillow is perfect – that should be a real thing if it isn’t.
The eye test – I was so squinting and then pulled my eyes and laughed out loud.
Smiles to you!
LOL…I pulled my eyes as well LOL. Too funny. Yeah I wonder if these are real or not LOL Have a great day
Happy Birthday, Mark!
I am mittens. That didn’t surprise me at all. I hate cold! However, I never wear mittens because I like the control of having all my fingers free.
I want that glass toaster, but I don’t want to try to keep it clean!
Thanks Q. I never thought of keeping that toaster clean. Can you imagine. People coming over to your house looking at that and saying…what a housekeeper this one is LOL. I’d have to hide it when company came over LOL
Ohhh I love the thought of a transparent toaster that would be perfect for my picky boys they could watch there toast and not BURN it. LOL
LOL…Well it certainly would help in that respect. I wonder if it is a reality?
I love the butter cutter and the scissor is so cool.
I voted for you my friend. Good luck. I hope you win.
Thank you my friend. Yeah, I like that butter cutter as well.
Ah, today we’re different! I’m mittens! And what a variety of clever things you have for the day! No transparent toaster for me though, I’d have to worry about keeping it clean!! Love the towel! Hope you’re day is going well, Thom!
Sylvia
You and Quilly LOL Hmmm mittens huh? That’s interesting
Hope you have a great day as well my friend
Are these all real? That butter slicer thingy would come in handy in our home!
I dunno and I didn’t google them. I would doubt it highly however.
WOW, great inventions, now why don’t we all think of something cool like those?
Btw I’m gloves, too.
I dunno. I always wish I could. We’d be rich beyond my imagination LOL
I voted for you (of course.)
Happy Birthday, Mark. You are really really old. That’s what Thom says, anyway.

Thank you very very much.
Well I just picked up his age from his honey in Delaware LOL…So blame Lyn LOL
I think you out-Quilled the Quill today by like three ads. I really like the traveler’s t-shirt. I might buy one if they come in continental sizes.
LOL…well that’s a first
Indeed I do hope they come in continental sizes … I need one
i looked at the test very reluctantly (you know how i feel about stuff with only two options) but the questions were not even too stupid
well, i’m not gloves, therefore…
crazy inventions although some look quite cool
and that’s a cute bug
We are two peas in a pod then LOL. Glad you like the bug…so did I
I already voted for you.
I’m also a glove.
Thanks for pushing the adventure.
I loved the inventions.
Thank you for voting. You will see it tomorrow on my posts as well
You are most welcome. It was fun. Glad you enjoyed
Well I like the butter cutter, laser scissors and tourist t shirt! The toilet seat lifter would be hella handy for the public restrooms.
I’m gloves as well!
Isn’t that the truth. They should be made to install them in there.
Glad you enjoyed my fellow glove LOL
We finally didn’t match. It says I’m mittens. I was able to read the sign at the bottom right away. lol
You commented about the vain weather vane before I added the explanation about the title. I wasn’t sure if people would figure out why I said she was vane.
I mean why I said she was vain.
Well I always try to see how much I can see with your photos and I did see the comb and mirror so I just figured it was that. WOOT!!! Hmmm different this time. It must be the tropical air I live in most of the time LOL
Great inventions! I can think of several that I would want for me or my family right off the bat. Gotta love that clear toaster. I’m one of those people who like it just this side of burnt. It’s a very fine line.
I was a little afraid with the quiz with some of those questions, but I got the result I was looking for.
You Are Mittens
You seek comfort in your life. You want to feel as warm and cozy as possible. You are naturally nurturing and caring. And you always make sure to take care of yourself!
Winter is your time to hibernate. You love to curl up on a cold night, even if everyone else is going out. And when you do venture out of the house, you bundle up. You want to feel as warm as possible.
Have a wonderful day! Mwah! xxoo
ROFLMAO!!! I’m so glad that you got the results you wanted my friend.
That’s good to know.
Yeah some of those inventions were just too cool for words and would be so worth getting
MWAH
Dang, I need to invent something like the see through toaster.
You and me both my friend
Pssst, I voted already, how many times can we vote?
No mittens or gloves for me, just bare naked (hands). Heheheh!
LOL…bare naked hands. Love it. You can only vote once. Believe me I tried
LOL
Thank you my friend
I voted already — nifty clicker she’s got for it.
Some of those inventions seem useless and others just creepy, but I love the crime scene towel and NEED those slippers LOL, the kids would get the biggest kick out of them. I thought the t-shirt was a pretty cool idea too.
I thought the ‘Chinese eye test’ was a rude thing to call it, but here’s the weird thing — It just looked like blocks to me, so I took my glasses off to follow instructions, and the second my glasses were off I could see it, without doing anything else. And yeah, apparently the message is true ROFL.
Thank you for voting. Yeah I liked her clicker myself. Well when I find those slippers I’m buying you a pair. You know sister, sometimes we just need to sit back and take in what is written and not try to add anything to it. So they called it that Oh well…It worked as you said LOL
Interesting that you had to take your glasses off
I love the transparent toaster idea…much better than relying on my nose lol
I’m afraid to take the gloves or mittens test because I don’t want to be mittens!!
I don’t like mittens at all LOL. So I’m right there with you. That toaster was pretty cool
The transparent toaster and the one click butter cutter will make my breakfast life so much easier. Lots of great ideas…. the infant pillow is very cute but the chinese eye test is amazing. How did they do that?!
They do it by making it fuzzy LOL I dunno. But that’s what it looks like to me. Can you imagine what a good time CJ would have using the toaster and the butter thing?
