I have been told that I am probably the only person that doesn't use gloves for gardening. Why should I wear gloves to feel the nice warm earth? Why should I wear gloves when cutting fabric? Just look at the blade, look at the glove - if it can cut through four layers of fabric, why would it not cut through a glove? I think the word, which I might add has gone out the window someplace, is common sense. My mother is 94, I am 72 - never cut my finger. I just adjust my hand so I will not get cut.

Get to the point, Edie - I am glad to know that I am not the only one who doesn't use gloves for gardening, for sewing or even for scrubbing floors or walls! Edie
