    DH took my nice clean needle nose pliers off my sewing table that I use with quilting. DS said dad, mom is gonna kill you. They were going catfishing & he thought he needed them to remove hooks. I told him to keep them & not to ever touch my stuff again as I went out the door to get a new nice nonfishy pair.

    Sounds like you need one of my scissor fobs and then tell everyone that if there is a fob they can not use it!! :)

    You know that Fons and Porter sell a scissor lock just so that does not happen. Look in the quilt section at your local JoAnns. It really does wonders to save the scissors. It has a combination you need to dial to open it. LOL!!!

    i have one pair of outrageously expensive shears that are so sharp that they frighten even me. i hide them in a dresser drawer so the grandkids can't find them, hubby can't spirit them out into the garage, and NOBODY can ruin them cutting up cardboard boxes for recycling. (ask my daughter about her "good" kitchen knives and a hubby that recycles.)

    DH and the kids kept wanting to use my good scissors, said they were better so I bought extra pairs of them for the house. Why not use good scissors for anything that needs cutting? I hate trying to cut with dull cheap scissors, even paper cutting. I have put the metal Ginghers and Fiskars in the dishwasher many times and they are still sharp and cut just fine for kitchen/household use. Not for youngsters to use of course. Why not have good scissors for every one?
