When I travel I carry one of those Buttoneer gadgets that "staples" a
button back on using tiny plastic straps.

You'd think someone would make a similar device for fixing a pant's
cuff that comes unstitched :-)

Is there such a thing?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I've been known to use an actual stapler.

Back in the sixties, they were called 'bobby pins'.

Me too :-) Staple show... you'd think some clever soul would do it
with thread... it's embarrassing when you notice secretaries looking
oddly at your pant's cuff :-(

A bit of cardboard about the size of a matchbook with a needle stuck in it
and some thread wrapped around. Or buy a sewing kit at the dollar store.
