I finally settled on my lefty scissors plan.

Outfit pre-k by the end of this year (which is, uh, coming up on us FAST), and then kindergarten next year and so on.

Except I've run into a snag. Lefty scissors are more expensive than righty scissors for some arcane reason, and you can't buy them in bulk. I could buy a "classroom pack" of 12 scissors (small classes some people have!) at barely more than the price of one scissor, but there's no such option for lefty scissors! (Not even cheapo scissors necessarily, either.) And while I appreciate that you're unlikely to have a class of 24 (or even 12!) left-handed students, you'll probably have more than one. Remember, Ana's class this year has five! Unless they're some kind of statistical anomaly and the other first grades have none at all, they actually do have enough lefties that, if they wanted to, they actually could make an entire class where the majority isn't right-handed. (And wouldn't that be an interesting social experiment? Well, maybe not. Depends on how far we run with it, I guess.)

So I have two questions.

1. Where is the cheapest place to get left-handed kids scissors? Safety scissors, that is. Blunt tip, short blade if possible.

2. Lefty scissors are, of course, scissors jointed "backwards" from righty scissors. Is it possible to take a pair of right-handed scissors, take them apart, and re-attach them to be left-handed? Not just theoretically "sure", but how would you do this? (Or can't it be done?)

Now, I know you *all* have, this past weekend, been dutifully racking up your $5 charity gift codes.

Right? You can do it right here, and if you have multiple emails you can vote multiple times just by hitting the back button.

Well, it's been funded, but there's still a few more, and seriously, it's free to you and only five minutes out of your day. Most people spend more time than that masturbating/watching TV/flossing/commuting/stubbing their toes, right? :P

Think about it, would you?

LOL.

I'm not sure which is worse - this or "Thou Shalt Commit Adultery".

One the one hand, the recipe in question calls for murder and cannibalism. On the other hand, it's a cookbook and not holy writ. Presumably people know the difference.

Hey, quick question.

The Star of David. Is that two triangles placed atop each other, or is it a hexagon with a triangle on each side? Yes, I know, it's both, but intuitively what do you think when you see it?
