“If you could invent something that would make life easier, what would it do?”
it doesn't have to be realistic or practical, just what would it do?

6. A totally automatic car.
1~ enter in your destination to the GPS
2~ kick back and enjoy the ride


risk free travel ~ the car (or truck) would monitor safe travel distances between cars, make all of the turns and stops = less accidents on the road & better fuel usage. :think:

14. I need to revise my previous answer to... painless dentistry
I went to the dentist today to get a crown put in my upper tooth way in the back. I have never cried in the dentist's chair before today. It was brutal. I kept feeling like this is almost what waterboarding must feel like, being tilted downwards and having all this crap shoved into your mouth. First drilling out the old filling, then all these impressions they have to take just to make you gag, then more drilling, more impressions, more gagging, sticking as many tools in my mouth as will fit - WHY CAN'T THEY INVENT PAINLESS DENTISTRY? They had to let me get up to go calm myself down because I was crying - I reached the point where I couldn't take it anymore. How embarrassing.

Dentistry needs to come into the twenty-first century for chrisssake. It's barbaric and brutal and really hasn't kept up with other medical techniques.

And the dentist and his assistants are very capable and nice. It wasn't them at all. It's just the freakin process..... there has to be a better way.

this probably doesn't quite answer the question, but I needed to rant.

rant over.
