I have a story to tell - At a recent retreat I had to use my ripper several times and after awhile I would just announce that I had another date with "Jack", at first it took people a while to ask me what I meant, who was Jack? "Jack the Ripper" - so by the end of the retreat the ladies in my corner of the room had named all their rippers different names -- some based on their male or female colors and you would hear announcements everytime they had a date with Antonio (he was classy), George(plain and reliable) or Jacques (cause he was lavender) etc. It added fun to our retreat.

Okay, I learned something new from that video. Thanks. I needed that. I sometimes resist the urge to rip but I won't anymore. *She starts chanting, the seam ripper is my friend, the seam ripper is my friend*
