I see that I truly have come up with something special. Se une realisht ka dale me nje dick ate
vecante
with a screw-in handle that held toothpaste.: me nje doreze me vida/ vidhosor qe mbante pasten
Twist the dial on the handle (like a chap stick): rrotullo diskun ne doreze si buzekuq qetesuese
and the paste would move forward and come out of 3, one-way valves pasta do televiz prepare
dhe do te dale nga tri valvula nje kalimshe/ me nje drejtim

As far as toys go, sa u takon lofrave
I invented a toy frisbee “ zbulova nje frisbi loder
It had an appendage sticking down from underneath the disc in the centre. Kishte nje shtojce qe
dilte/varej nga poshte diskut ne qender
The idea was to make it easier for the dog to pick it up. Ideja ishte qe ta bente me te lehte per qenin
qe ta kapte
The frisbee would fly, land and tilt, giving the dog an area to bite. Frisbi do te flutoronte/ ulej
lekundej per te rene duke I dhe qenit ate pjese qe mund ta kafshonte

I’ll use imagery to spur ideas, I’ll rest. Do perdoret imazhet per tu dhene shtyse ideve, do te pushoj
I’ll have to give it a rest. Duhet ta pushoj
