Getting to Know You - May 25

[Ann]

Pens...they seem to be all over my house, yet I can never find one when I need it. What is your very favorite pen to write with? Black or blue ink? Fine or medium tip?

[ginnyde]

Remember me I'm fickle. Sometimes I write with a slant and sometimes not. Sometimes I like fine points and sometimes medium, sometimes black and sometimes blue.

Actually my favorite writing instrument is a Techniclick pencil .5 lead from Pentel.

Ann, is their a psychoanalyst on the board that could help me with my fickleness?

[Ann]

Ginny...I wouldn't call you "fickle" at all. I prefer to think of people like you as being extrememly unpredictable and in my book, unpredictable translates to FUN!!! So, my friend, let's just say you're FUN. But...I'm sure we could find someone hanging around here that would profess to be a psychoanalyst. Think we could get a group discount???/

[Frank Lamb]

I spent many years in sales.I have always liked nice pens.My favorite pen is a Mont Blanc (in black with white snow cap),I also prefer medium point.

Both black and blue ink work for me.

[Don Wood]

Anything available.

[shineladysue]

[Ann]

I love the Focus LX pens in either black or blue ink. I use black for most paperwork and use blue when I have to notarize a document. Our court clerk's office here always makes sure that any filed document is an original. It's had to tell if the black ink is an original or copy, so the blue ink is a sure thing. They're nice fat barrel, medium point gel pens AND....they're relatively inexpensive. I buy them at Walmart. Oh yes...I can also buy refills for them. Oh...forgot to say that the barrel also has a gripper on it for comfort!!!

[dchurchi]

all of you who love your pens, keep them will hidden

if I am around As I have a drawer full of

pens that belong to me only becuase I have the worst

habit of walking away with other peoples pens.

In other words, I have no preference when it comes

to pens.

[Ann]

Deb...I can relate to your drawer full of pens. At one of our local building departments, they have a pen on the counter that I am dying for. This pen has been putting my conscious to a real test. This pen writes so nice and amooth and I want it so bad!!! I just keep thinking one of the girls will see me walk off with it and ask me to put it back. I would be completely humiliated if that happened. I'm thinking of offering to pay them for this pen. It's got to be a cheapie! It's a BIC and it says Velocity on the barrel. I ran out and bought a pack of these but they're not the same. This is a Velocity gel...blue ink! Has anyone ever seen these?

[Kasey]

LOVE FAT pens...................no color preference. I bet you had NO idea there were so many fat pen people around, did you, Sue?

And Ann.............I Promise I will keep an eye out for that special Velocity one you want so badly. Don't want you taking it and getting hauled off to jail!!! What would we DO??????????

Love ,

Kasey

Pilot Dr. Grip Gel Pen, Black Ink.

I can't remember how many years it has been since I have made a pen purchase.

I DO like pens very much.

The ones I like come from the doctor's offices via pharmaceutical companies. The best one that I have stolen so far comes from Viagra. It writes beautifully, smoothly, sharply and leaves no residue.

I highly recommend pen-thievery... It's FUN!

I prefer black ink-- fine point. A good pen is wasted on me because I will lose it in the black hole behind my desk that sucks in all good pens within 5 feet.

[Snowflake]

Fat pen, medium tip, purple ink.

Taking notes - fine tip, blue ink (and I carry a red and a black, sometimes a green and doodle at meetings...)

[lilyjohn]

Years ago I had a Silver Cross pen. It had a fine point and blue ink. I kept it for years and then it disappeared. Now I use what is available. I usually have 3 or 4 in my purse but still have trouble finding one.

A side note on this. Several months ago my boss gave me an ink pen. I used it often and knew there was writing on it but never read what it said until a few weeks ago. I really gave her a bad time when I saw what it said. It said "this pen stolen from blank blank pharmacy"

[Debi]

Count me in with the Fat blue pen people, preferably gel.

However, I lose every pen I own within minutes, so I have resorted to pen thievery myself, most of the time subconciously (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). I hate to call it thievery, since I end up losing it to someone else, I prefer to think of myself as some sort of pen Robin Hood.
