But even the youngest French man/woman who came to our US office to visit used his/own personal, beautiful pen. And that changed me.<BR/><BR/>Recently, I realized that I've fallen in the habit of using the ballpoint pens provided by my employer when I'm running a training course. And just last week, I was thinking that I should start carrying my lovely pens with me when I train. Doing that would make me feel more confident and "classy", if you know what I mean...and obviously you do!<BR/><BR/>As Wendy wrote, I too always notice a great pen in a meeting. Perhaps one of my students will notice MINE in the future, too!<BR/><BR/>GREAT post...<BR/><BR/>Janet<BR/>lordcelery.blogspot.comJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494516976868488211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-1141242301238163942006-03-01T13:45:00.000-06:002006-03-01T13:45:00.000-06:00Oh, people!www.swisherpens.comI like shopping with...Oh, people!<BR/><BR/>www.swisherpens.com<BR/><BR/>I like shopping with these folks, they've thrown a free goodie into my bag every time I've shopped with them!Lori Stewart Weiderthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601450336245218356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-1141242077906197332006-03-01T13:41:00.000-06:002006-03-01T13:41:00.000-06:00I'm gonna go right out and BUY ME SOME PENS!!I'm gonna go right out and BUY ME SOME PENS!!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774104404797465232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-1141241043308167292006-03-01T13:24:00.000-06:002006-03-01T13:24:00.000-06:00Awe: A space pen!

I think they write under water too, which comes in handy when you're scuba diving and worrying about your grocery list.<BR/><BR/>Tai: ohmigod, you need me to overhaul your pens! If you have to draw swirly-dirlies to start the thing, pitch it. If it skips, pitch it. If there are chew marks, it's outta there. <BR/><BR/>Dogbait: If ink flows smoothly out of it, then I love your pen too!

Were you afraid I'd nab them??<BR/><BR/>I was a collector when I was younger - they are packed away somewhere in a box. Nothing very fancy - just from different places I visited and such.

I thought it was just a freaky family thing - my sister and I raid my parents house every now and then for decent pens and my aunt is just the same!!<BR/><BR/>Sadly, it's not just pens for me - I am obsessed with the whole range of office supplies. I have a trunk full of paper and post-its and correspondence cards (you name it, I own it) and more envelopes than you can shake a stick at! The prides of my range though, are the gadgets: the crowning glory is an electric hole-punch.<BR/><BR/>I'm going back to my cellar now to laugh maniacally and rock back and forth slowly...Svenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322453896321870872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-1141200260526356112006-03-01T02:04:00.000-06:002006-03-01T02:04:00.000-06:00PENS!!!

I love them so much I have now rewritten this comment several times because each other previous times made me sound like a freak with a fetish.
