If you’re serious, Beck, about wearing a helmet to protect your noggin, there are medical helmets to do just that. An occupational therapist or physical therapist could help you pick out a good one for you, that’s why they went to school as those years. Helmets come in all shapes, forms and colors so you can pick a Beck-worthy one: [https://ribcap.com/head-protection/](https://ribcap.com/head-protection/) ---

I could see you in one of those in a creamy Siamese beige/taupe with little Siamese ears added on by one of your artistic Wrek kids. ---

So, googling “safety helmet cat ears” gave a _lot_ of results. @BippityBoppityBoo , you’re on to something. 🙂 [![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1345/2791/products/Motorcycle_Cat_Helmet_-_pink_530x.jpg?v=1645990621) ](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1345/2791/products/Motorcycle_Cat_Helmet_-_pink_530x.jpg?v=1645990621) ---

A more serious answer: there are devices which have built-in accelerometers, and which can detect a fall in progress – and then instantly deploy an inflatable helmet to protect the wearer’s head. (I’ve actually looked into one of these for my father.) [https://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/the-instant-airbag-helmet/](https://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/the-instant-airbag-helmet/) ---

So I glanced thru the rest of the stuff they have there. I want a full instant airbag outfit. Lots of cool things, but the DIY vasectomy I can live without. That blows my mind🤯 ---

I reckon you wouldn’t get pregnant while you have that in house. Hubby getting frisky? But your favorite show is on. Put the box on the coffee table. No baby for you. Perfect birth control. ---

That vasectomy gizmo sounds like an old veterinary tool, called a “bloodless castrator.” Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) worked in New Zealand and helped the ranch hands castrate baby lambs. They BIT them off! No swallowing, the testicles were later cooked up to make lamb fries. Retch! ~VOW ---
