I take offense to this as someone who hasn’t even started shopping yet.
shhhh
just get them fuzzy socks that’s what they truly want
I squirrel away things I find through the year to ease my winter burden. The hard part for me is not giving the things right away so I don’t have to go buy something else. My SO especially has a hard time remembering that that gift in June WAS Xmas, so no, we are not spending bunches of money on whatever it is you want now. When we hit the lottery, then we can do both.
Shopping for what?
Winter supplies, I guess? Something about a big log and not dying in icy conditions.
Love the follow up episode in the cat-people hospital.
as a clutz it feels good until I check out the angle I cut across
Until it stops randomly and tears at a 90° angle from the direction you were going…
KrrrrSCHHHHRRRRRRRRkt
Reminded me of the weirdest Batman villian, Onomatopoeia.
Are there any good left-handed scissors?
They might have some here:
Damn, Flanders made it online!
I have several great ones. Got them at Walmart.
I found a decent pair on Amazon and I think it has helped with the regularity I am hitting that sweet spot.
It’s called going to warp, impulse is when you have to manually chop.
i gotta admit… i thought this was going to be a play on astro glide. …hmmmmmmmmm
These or something similar are perfect, as a lefty.
Edit: but for the love of god don’t pay that much. I think they’re like $5-7 in store.
With all the political talk on social media I was so confused what being a lefty had to do with cutting wrapping paper lol
Doh!
Okay for those of you who don’t have an electric clipper—> open the blades all the way and rock the paper along the blade a moment, you’ll eventually find a spot that lets you glide through the paper.
I’m a lefty so this may be incorrect but I think you also want to keep good tension on the paper while you do it. If that’s not a thing, then oops. Sometimes the glide works, the other 80% it bunches up about halfway through so I tend to try a few times then just give up. Also I assume it works opened more because the scissors tend to be sharper closer to the handle where they’re less used, in case that helps anyone figure out the sweet spot. So just do what usual leftys do, make the contact between scissor blades pull together with a good grip, have a nice tension on the paper and push it through slowly. Then get annoyed when it rips after it working once.
Yeah you want to hold the corner or place a bar weight if you can. If you have an empty paper tube it’s useful
This is what I do if I can a lot of the time, helps so much
Like when the turbo kicks in
it’s barely December. Who even thinks of wrapping presents now?
Adults
