a friend gave it to me ±15 years ago. He thought it was impossible to get the ring out. Maybe it's faulty and they cut the rope shorter than they should have.

We don't know what this is 🤷

a baby toy?

I think I will always fondly remember the first time I was living in Japan and I accidentally knocked a salt shaker over, right onto the floor. And I just had no idea how to get a bunch of salt out of a tatami mat. Fortunately, it didn't really matter, because it was salt, and I just left it there.
