    I know what you mean. Have you ever bitten into a piece of tin foil? Thanks for this tip EvelynAnita, I'm going to try this.

    Someone else mentioned this earlier and I tried it and it WORKS! Pretty amazing. It does create a bit of a mess though, I had tiny bits of foil stuck on my cutting mat so now I do it on a small cutting mat that I can stick in my trash can when I'm done and brush all the tiny pieces off.
    Thought for EVERY Day: You know all those things you've always wanted to do? You should go do them.

    Terrific idea, I am going to try it. I've also heard it works well with your scissors, so why wouldn't it work with your rotary cutter. Thanks for the link.
    Retired & enjoying life

    The idea makes my teeth hurt.
    I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
