My favor...I have lots of pens, but only use a few. My favorite cheapo onse are BIC Ultras. I don't think think that pens are a problem with me though.<br /><br />One thing that I have A LOT of, that most people don't seem to, are scissors in every room, and office tape dispensers in three rooms.<br /><br />I have hair cutting scissors in the bathroom that I have had for 25 years, given to me by my cousin for Christmas. They are still sharp. They are never used to cut paper. I have several pairs of my sewing scissors hidden, so that nobody will use them to cut paper and make them dull. Are you sensing a pattern here, Tammy?<br /><br />Then, there is the issue of tape. I don't use it all the time, but I want it there when I need it. Once I figured out that you could by a desk dispenser that comes with a roll of tape for almost the same price as just one plastic dispenser roll of tape, I was convinced to not skimp.<br /><br />Now, why all this trouble? When I was growing up, we only had one pair of scissors that we could ever find, and they were the sewing scissors, and of course we were not supposed to use them, because they would get dull. We did anyway. We had to buy tape every time we bought a gift, along with the wrapping paper. As a girl, I swore, "when I get my own house ...."<br /><br />Lol!<br /><br />Kathy M.<br /><br />Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-24145057174792834212012-09-26T18:57:07.995-05:002012-09-26T18:57:07.995-05:00Pens too - my fav is Uniball Jetstream and you can...Pens too - my fav is Uniball Jetstream and you can't find it in blue too often... drives me nuts. I'm too embarrassed to say how many... could be like Donna - thousands. I'm also one to pick up envelopes and paper and notebooks and books and anything writing/reading related.

My new fave is the Papermate Profile, touted as "The world's smoothest pen." I have it in blue, red, black and purple. :)Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-89681132156019493092012-09-25T06:19:39.061-05:002012-09-25T06:19:39.061-05:00Flip flops, Iknow what you mean about pens.
