Jill – you’ve given me ideas…

Jules – mine was only $30. But it’s really quite ugly and it hurts my ear. I need to crochet it a cozy or something.

Are you speaking from personal experience, Jill?

BTW…my “dork-tooth” was only $60 and it works great. And I ALWAYS take it off in public!

Wow! The Heidi Hat, which Jennie could knit/package/market/sell, is way more convenient and safe than waiting at a red light,and huddling down below the steering wheel pretending to find something on the floor whilst not making eye contact with any other drivers, cell phone pressed inconspicuously between shoulder and ear.

My, my, what sophisticated problems you young folks have to deal with now. Hats/caps used to be for keeping your ears in the “cool” temperature range instead of uncomfortably freezing. Now “cool” has an entirely different meaning. Maybe you should ask your law enforcement officials if they would make the old steering wheel “neckers knob” legal again and it would aid in one-handed driving. Holding a phone would be very easy. Ask your Gram, she remembers how they were used. In fact, as I remember, using a neckers knob didn’t make things cool, instead things could get a bit warmer. It’s all coming back to me now. My right hand wasn’t holding a cell phone way back then.

Thank you Con. Perhaps you would like your own advice column at The Informal Matriarchs?

A girlfriend at work saw the picture and explained, “I love those Heidi hats – I got one for Christmas!”

If i may recommend… this would also be inconsiderably convenient for participating in snowboarding or downhill skiing. Simply place the blackberry or other telecommunicational device in your helmet like in the provided picture. It works like a truly useful dream.
