Horse nail...For our little friends! 8o)Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
YES! YOU GUESSED IT!!!!Oh wait. No you didn't! :)) HeeHee. :D
Hi Mumj :) #10950165
Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
A ring made from metal....a nail ring...

Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
OHOH>..part of a handcuff...lolLaura E. Swan January 18, 2014
Ohhhhhhh these are very good guesses indeed but non are the right ones so far. I do love old and ancient things. Part of my house is set up like Indiana Jones because of it. Oops! Have I given a hint? Maybe. Maybe not.HeeHee... #10950179
Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
OK, double tooth pick for dinosaurs #10950182Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
You mean for my dog REX??? WOW!!! How did you know???Okay wait. That's not right either. :D
But VERY interesting guess! :)))
#10950188
Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
OK, so I have to think up some more crazy ideas...Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
Lol...You are so funny! Wait until you realize it's a UFO landing pad for off set fruit flies. OH SHOOT! Did I wreck it?No wait. That's not the right answer either. I love the steel bridge idea. I think there is a "copper" racing over it to give out a ticket on the "loop"!. #10950229
Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
My Google Chrome isn't working right this morning and I am unable to add animations. So just picture UFO's and stuff flying around here, okay? :D #10950231John Connolly January 18, 2014
It is the hole on the end of a bottle opener, used to hang it on the wall! #10950314Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
I KNOW I know...the worms crawl in
...the worms crawl out
...the worms crawl all about
IT... #10950349
Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
Oooo! Brother John! Good guess! Let me go get a POP bottle and see if it works!!!Well darn it. That must not be right. The bottle won't open, but GOOD GUESS! What else might it be???
* * *
The Worms Crawl IN
The Worms Crawl OUT
The Worms play Pinochle
In Your Snout!
Mumj....Is your guess a SNOUT or is it "IT".... Maybe this is the infamous "IT!?"
#10950367
Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
Gee WHIZ. I think I completely mis-understood your guess, John!!! Not a POP BOTTLE OPENER but the thing that helps it hang on the wall...WELL THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT MATTER. (And answers why I couldn't get the pop bottle opened!)
But nope. That is not it. Lol... :D
Snort snort...
#10950372
Lydia Williams January 18, 2014
At first glance, I thought it was a ring, but you would have put in the diamond! A Pig nose ring...snort! #10950385Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
Snort snort...Oink oink...RIGHT! No diamond, no kissy-kissy. Snort snort.
FUN GUESS HOWEVER!!!
KEEP THEM COMING! You guys will guess this yet.
Remember...It's only PART of something. #10950394
Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
OK, it is IT with a backdrop of PURPLE! snort snort.... #10950418Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
R, r, r... :DYou know that is the funniest paint job I have ever seen. Depending on the lighting it changes colors. I think the true color is a burgundy...but the lady had it pained NAVY BLUE before that! So that comes through at times making purple feels to it. Very strange paint indeed... but that is not the correct answer. :D
GOOD TRY!!!! (Or was "IT"??? HeeHee)... #10950424
Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
You know... IT is an IT .... or a THING. THING might be better.So now we know... IT is a THING. That is your hint for now. Ahahahahaa!
You are welcome. #10950427
Lydia Williams January 18, 2014
Looks like some kind of metal tube that has been cut...hmmmm #10950439Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
OinkIt is the hook to hang keys on the wall...
or part of a table leg...
IT is IT #10950458
Laura L. Gonzales January 18, 2014
Is it part of your camping equipment? ??? Part of a stake that ties something down? ?? Maybe to tie your UFO too! :) lol #10950463Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
Some kind of metal tube that has been cut....Hmmmmm...No!*
Oooo! Hook to hang keys or part of a table leg...Clever!!! But, no!
*
Interesting! Part of camping equipment... You know... MAYBE in the WAGON TRAIN DAYS...And before. This MIGHT have been used while camping out but I'd have to say in general, NO!
A Stake - A Steak (heehee) to tie something (like a UFO??) down...? Neither!
I love a good game of Whazzit. :D
Mumj is right. It is IT...And it's a thing. #10950474
Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
*************** HINT TIME *************
It is part of a LARGER thing.
It is functional.
It has no moving parts.
It was very important in it's day!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! #10950475
Wm Nosal January 18, 2014
:0 It's Crampon'sYou Strap Them On Your Boots
Like Snowshoes
So You Can Walk On Ice
While Snow Shoveling :) #10950499
Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
Hey WmN...YOU have to be right...Lydia Williams January 18, 2014
I need that today, we were supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow, and we got a foot of the heavy, wet stuff...arggh... #10950510Wm Nosal January 18, 2014
:) Get That Everyday WithLaura L. Gonzales January 18, 2014
Hubby thinks maybe the stationary part of a hook?Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
Hi Everybody! What great guesses :)))Well, Wm, I love your guess but it's not snow shoes of any kind. Canadian tire wouldn't carry this item...but maybe an old mercantile store (hardware store) would have back in the day?
THIS ITEM WAS USED ALL YEAR LONG (and on each date on the calendar too!) by EVERY FAMILY likely. :) (GOOD HINT!)
*
Mumj, Wm's guess WAS a great guess, wasn't it?! :D
*
Hi Big Sis Lydia! You didn't guess this time but I will say this. It has nothing to do with snow or ice.
*
Which brings us to Laura Lee and Mike's entry here. Tell Mike GREAT GUESS! Like connected to a hook or giant ice pick or ice block mover. Neat! But no. No hook involved. This item used to be used in homes. A lot. And here is the kicker... NOT USED JUST IN THE KITCHEN BUT IN LITERALLY EVERY ROOM of the house! HA! Huge hint as far as things it is not!
*
Little Sister - Now YOUR guess would fit the criteria of "every room in the house". How great is that...?! But NOPE! Incorrect.
So, I have given you some good hints. #10950531
Laura L. Gonzales January 18, 2014
How about a metal lamp! Used in every part of the house! Could be hung or free standing! #10950546Nancyj E. Hovey January 18, 2014
Or the end of a candle snuffer...IT IT IT oink oink
#10950548
Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!You two (and everyone!) put your heads together and come up with it.
It is not a lamp or a snuffer. So what else can it be that you have been talking about kind of???
OM GOSH! You are both SO SO SO CLOSE!!!
It's any mans guess! Bring it on guessers!
I am about to watch a movie with subtitles. I'll be back afterwards! :D #10950555
Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
Just remember the rules of the game. In Whazzit, you have to be very specific. Neither of you have it exactly, but both are hot and warm. #10950556Laura L. Gonzales January 18, 2014
Fireplace tools!!!!!!! HOT HOT HOT! RIGHT? ! #10950557Laura E. Swan January 18, 2014
No. The answer revolves around what you both just said but neither of you pin pointed it. Okay must go now.HAVE FUN!!! I shall return! #10950558
Laura L. Gonzales January 18, 2014
Lamp stand or candle holder?!! #10950559Laura L. Gonzales January 18, 2014

Laura E. Swan January 19, 2014
I KNEW YOUR PRIZE WOULD MAKE YOU CRY! :D Who wouldn't?The only complaints I have read on the GREEN HOUSE are the ant hill colonies on the roof. I'm sure it will be minor. Just don't bring any food and you will do great!
HAVE FUN!!!!! #10950615
Laura L. Gonzales January 19, 2014

Great Whazzit macro, Pom! I must admit, I waited to comment until AFTER you showed the candle holder... Much as I might have enjoyed using the prize (chamber pot included, I imagine), my brain wasn't up to the challenge to win it.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
