you must be a very patient and restrained individual.........

i feel that for a first offense replacing the knife will do, but for a

if *I* ruin my best sewing scissors, i get mad at myself, call myself an
idiot. and figure i deserved it. if *you* ruin my best sewing scissors you
better have a good track record with me, or good track shoes.........
