Jill Ehlers's Problem Solving Experience:

1. My girlfriends little 2 yr old had a very bad diaper rash with yeast infection. Nothing the Dr. gave her was working. So I did a little research into which hydrosol might help and she usedit and the rash/infection was gone in 2 days. She keeps it on hand at all times.
2. I did not like the ants and earwigs getting into my hummingbird feeder so I got a toilet plunger and took the rubber part off and turned it upside downand attached it to the post I was mounting the feeder on and put the feeder over it and filled the rubber part with diotomaceous earth knowing that ants and bugs can't crawl through it without killing themselves. My feeders stay much cleaner longer now.
3. I didn't like to use a traditional mop on my kitchen floor, so I got out two car wash mitts and put them on my feet and dancer-mopped. Great exercise and it worked great. Now I see a similar product in catalogs for sale! I also made a boardgame as a fundraiser for Babe Ruth baseball, The Game Of Ashland. It made in excess of $4000.00 for the teams
4. I use detective work and problem solving all the time with the animals I work with to figure out what might be wrong and how to fix it. I also make up mixes of hydrosols (essential oil waters) for internal and external use for the special needs of each animal.
5. When a certain Therapeutic Energy technique is not quite getting the job done for an animal, I come up with another way of doing it and have had great results.
6. I had people come in with beloved frames that the paint had chipped or peeled off of and they asked me to hand paint them back to original so I said sure and gave it a try with model paints and they were thrilled. The mottled mock tortoise shell were the most fun to duplicate!
7. When I could not find a part that would fit to fix an eyeglass problem, I would get out my dremel and fashion a part to make it fit.
8. I had a lady bring me a crystal goblet that was part of a very special set to her. The whole top rim had broken off in an odd way leaving it with an uneven rim. She asked if I could use my (optical) hand grinding stone to smooth the edge down and make it even around the rim. Although I had never done it before, I said sure and it turned out pretty darn good!
9. As I said, I invented a product that is now in patent pending status to solve a travel related problem that I had. The manufacturing and marketing process has just started.
10. People came to me with all kinds of odd problems with their glasses. One of the most common is a broken temple. We had boxes of different types of temples and I would go through and find the best fit for looks and function.
