I don't know the answers. I just wanted to say hello!!!
1)Buttons
2)various meat cuts, I don't know, but thought I should attempt a guess
3)Is it really bobby pins, and why were they invented for men?
4)hour glasses (or today lots of folks call them egg timers, and they run for short periods)
5)Staples
6)I don't know but I do know that Hydrogen Carbon Nitrite mixes are used to make plastic, pesticides, and the gas that Nazi's used in their gas chambers.
7)Shoelaces
by the way I saw a sign on a truck the other day that made me think of you it read...
"Gerry,s plumming service"
Should have been plumbing and Gerry's, and made me wonder if it was Jerry's and the guy couldn't even spell his own name...
Great job, Jeremy and Dani! You both know a lot!
I know #2 by speaking to my cousins... these are types of screws and the name describe the different tops (or heads).
The way I understand it, #6 is super glue or crazy glue.
Otherwise, Dani's and Jeremy's guesses are correct.
About the bobby pin... I have found 3 sources that state that they were used for certain men's hairstyles before women. However, they are internet sources, so I'm not sure if this is completely accurate. Either way, they were named for keeping the bob haircut in place and for several other reasons since.
Dani, thanks for letting me know about the truck sign. That is both funny ha ha and funny strange.
HI AUDREY'S NANNY!!!!!!
