In addition to all the concerns stated above about accidently stabbing myself (or worse yet killing myself) I have one other concern. In my old age my skin has become extremely thin and I had to quite wearing jewelry because I couldn't stand the weight hanging around my neck or wrists.The thought of wearing a pair of scissors around my neck freaks me out. Sons have tried to get me to wear my cell phone around my neck, because I keep forgetting where I left it LOL.
