Pure Genius or Utter Laziness?

Background:

I have 4 children and 1 foster child. I live in a 3 story home where the bedrooms are upstairs and the playroom is downstairs. I constantly found myself yelling throughout the house whenever it was time for supper, bath, bed, or whatever I needed them for. It was very trying at times to round everybody up for whatever reason. I decided to place Motorola push-to-talk radios throughout the house because an intercom system is just too costly. Now I just press the call button announce the reason for gathering and the kids come running like little soldiers on a mission. My voice and patience have been spared.

Purpose of thread: Answer or comment on one or both of these questions.

1. Is this brilliant or lazy.

2. What cheap or practical remedies have you found to be useful in everyday life that everyone might not know about?
