It was creeping me out when my iPhone would send me an instant coupon as I walked past certain stores, or my browser would hyperlink to merchants in the middle of an otherwise decent little article.

I have a pair of Singer scissors with a very fine serrated edge that I've had for decades. Have never needed sharpening and are awesome. You can not tell the fabric edges are 'pinked' when cut but they do cut down on the raveling when cutting some fabrics.

I have used Gingher, Wiss, Fiskars and Kai and Kai is the best. I cut a lot of fleece and those scissors are like a hot knife slicing through butter and melting it as you go. You can buy them on ebay for under $20 or use a guy called The Scissorman and buy them from him. Buy what you are comfortable with and using, but scissors are an investment, and will last, last and possibly outlive you.

Same here! I've had a few pair of Fiskars, I'm good as long as I don't drop them but always end up replacing with another pair of Fiskars. I bought pair of Gingkers and traded a friend for some work. All depends on preference and how they feel in your hands.

I have scissors in every room and they stay in that room. I have a tool box and scissors in that tool box stay there. Dh has scissors in his shed for his shed. That's how we keep them from traveling.
