My List of BEST Inventions Ever!

After watching a show on the History channel about the best inventions ever I decided that they really don't know what the REAL best inventions are!  Of course everyone knows about the Wheel, Duct Tape, and the Light Bulb, but c'mon, there are other inventions that changed my life and yours for the better and people rarely even mention!

Here is my list of *those* best inventions in no particular order:

1. Fix-a-Flat.  Keeping a can in my car gives me all sorts of security.  It is like performing a magic trick!
2. Foam Rubber.  Let's face it.  Most comfort comes from the stuff: pillows, mattresses, furniture, bike seats; the list is almost endless and I for one am grateful!
3. Paper plates.  I find great relief on *those* days, just knowing the little beauties are in the cupboard just waiting to serve my needs.
4. Fly swatters.  Again...must I elaborate? Not quite as fond of fly paper, but it has it's place too.
5. Sunscreen.  I have 7 redheads at my house. 
6. Dry dog food. Can you imagine what it would be like to try to keep the dog fed without the stuff?
7. Crayons. The hours of peace and quiet these have provided for mothers everywhere is mind boggling.
8. Flip Flops.  Summers without sock washing, matching, sorting...ahhhhh....
9. Anti-Perspirant /Deodorant.  The world before was...well...use your imagination.
10. Scissors.  Talk about a multi use tool; they can be used as nail clippers, food processors, to decorate, cut hair, modify clothing from winter to summer, and on and on...What would we ever do without them!?!  

So there you have it.  My list of never mentioned inventions I couldn't live without.
