    This is called marriage. Go buy yourself another pair. He'll appreciate your being quiet.

    Do your husband's really need to hear you nag about this again?!!...................LOL

    Just hop in the car, haul ass to the store and buy a nice shiney pair of Gingher shears and some fabric to cut up with them. And install a lock.

    No need to lop off his...............

    Despite years of warnings & threats, I had to resort to hiding my sewing scissors so DH & kids would not use them. I think I have a couple of extra pair well hiden in the house that may be discovered some day - I forget where I put them

    He just put up the shelves though. So I would be gentle with him!!!

    I caught mine cutting thick moose hide leather with mine. Him and a buddy were making a black powder pouch. I made him buy me a new pair. That was 30 years ago and he still won't touch a pair of scissors without asking if it's ok to use them for his intended purpose. lol

    I actually solved this problem YEARS ago ---- I went to a "cheap" store and bought lots of those $3.00 a pair scissors. Stashed them all over the house and told them they could use whatever scissors they wanted EXCEPT the ones in my sewing room. No more problems......... Just an idea. I LOVE these responses, folks!
