It came to me in a flush this morning. I am surprised no-one has thought of it before. I wonder if you can patent an idea. Anyway ...
If man could find a way to harness the energy produced by menopausal women's hot flushes it would solve the world's energy crisis.
Just think.
It's renewable: as one woman moves out of the menopause so another moves in.
It's universal: no village is too remote to have its share of menopausal women.
It's safe: as long as no-one says anything stupid like, 'What's for dinner, dear?' at the wrong moment. Or, heaven forbid, doesn't send an anniversary card.
It's free: well, only a small charge would be made for the service.
It returns to older women their rightful value: she may look cute on your arm, but I can light your lamp.
Genius!

genius indeed.
However may not be universal - sub-saharan Africa? Life expectancy in many countries now is about 37 so they might struggle
I detect a theme in recent posts about an anniversary card. I'm just the average man here so might be missing the point but has Mr Liz by any chance forgotten something this week?
I had a good chuckle reading this. First I thought flush related to the toilet. Then I realized that you were talking about what we call hot flashes! I swear that lately I could singlehandedly light my entire town. You are indeed a genius!
You are a GENIUS! I think you are on to something BIG!
You've been writing up a storm while I've been off helping son and his little family to move. And George has been awfully busy as well. I won't comment on all the posts--just know I've come round and enjoyed.
Genius is right. You should look into the patenting of intellectual property!
Oh dear - no anniversary card yet. He'll accidentally find it unposted in his bag/pocket when he gets back.
My girl always lights my lamp.
He says he posted it first class on Monday, furtheron, and they've got the sun in Africa ...
elsie, susan and dragonstar, thank you, i think so.
Glad you enjoyed, katney.
You old romantic, aileni!! What a lovely comment. I hope dragonstar reads it!
Liz how do they harness the flush???
No card yet? Me neither!
Sounds a bit like capturing the screams in Monsters Inc. I think you may be on to something!
rofl!
She may look cute on your arm, but I can light your lamp.
I love it Liz. Coming via Antarctica that card, is it?
I'm going to nominate you for the Nobel Prize! I might even be able to afford to drive my car again if oil prices come down as a result.
By the way, I'm still waiting for a card or present for my birthday--which was three weeks ago!
Goodness, I'm off creating a lovely guest room for my Welsh friends who are arriving on Sunday and my other Welsh friend is busy writing up a storm! Well, I'll just comment here that I'm caught up and ready for bed. *yawn*
How about starting small and setting up George with a treadmill. You could at least power your street.
Hilarious, Liz! I have been trying to figure out energy-efficient ways to run my air conditioner this summer. Makes sense for me to just hook up somehow and run it myself!
Too right on this one! I've finally got estrogen patches that are eliminating the horrible night sweats I've been having since my hysterectomy. THOSE could've solved the world's water problems, hahahahaha! ;-P
Yes, true genius!
