This next object was a gift given to me by a woman I am coaching in english. This is the best gift I've gotten in a long time. It's a needle threader! You put the needle in, and then raise a small hook that passes through the eye of the needle. Then you wrap the thread around the hook and VOILA! Your needle is threaded! With my aging eyes, this is a wonderful invention!! :)

Today's Snippets
I found something at the store the other day that may just explain my last post about the man with tissue stuffed up his nose. From what I can tell, these are small scented things that you stick up your nose so that you can cover other smells in the air. I can think of many times when this might come in handy.....

OK, I have to admit that the needle threader looks a lot like a deformed Gumby. I would never have guessed its function!
Kinda funny, I had the same first thought as Euripedes. :)
Delicate threaders with a button type of base with just a small triangular wire frame sticking out is quite common with our haberdashers. Shall send you a photograph by mail.
I shall send you another mail that I sent some friends which should amuse you about the phenomenon of avoiding unpleasant smells.
