From what I know DH stands for designated hitter and is used in baseball where a player goes up to bat for a pitcher, who I guess has to rest instead of batting and running bases. It may have another meaning, I dont know.
Do you ALWAYS run fast with scissors? What are you cutting? lol

With scissors you can cut up anything, you can make ribbons on gifts have that swirl affect, and you can look intimidating during it all.
