I spend my whole life buying ballpoint pens (and socks - I've asked another question about them). I've been on this earth for 37 years and have never kept a ballpoint pen long enough to see it empty of ink. Why not? Who is collecting all my lost pens? Am I really unusual in this? Do I need therapy (with respect to this issue, not generally)?

That is why they sell them buy the dozen. Pens have walking shoes built right on them.

pens disappear as everyone needs or wants one and the never find their way back. as for the hangers. you take clothes off each day until the end of the week when you do laundry. it will look empty until you wash them and hang the clothes back up. not to mention when you have clothes done at the cleaners you gain more hangers. when you buy them from stores you get more that way also. but some you put in drawers so it appears you have more when you don't.

tat's are great. I have 10 total. and each one has either a diffrent meaning or i just happen to like the art work... like i'm a bugs bunny fan and i have a tat of him. my husband passed away and i got a memorial tat.. if your interested in tat's go to a site called miamiink.com and you can see some awesome work, also watch the show miami ink. and for the record getting a tat doesn't hurt... just a few things for the record, the only reason some people think they are gross they know nothing about them...also they are not a surgerical procedure. they are done by choice. and you make the choice. and both my husband ,my self and my brother in law have tat's and our kids think they're cool...

I don't know about when the first came out, but when I think Reebok Classics I remember a man I used to work with. He only wore them and nothing else. When they started to go off the shelves he bought as many as he could find. He had a closet of them, and he wore them out pretty fast too. I wonder if he still has any and if not what is he wearing now? Funny what a shoe can make you think of lol.

it could be because they were old when you purchased them. The ink could have crusted up on the inside/backside of the ball making it so it won't write.\n\nhave you tried making the tip hot with a lighter? Sometimes that helps. (not too long though)

I did, but then I figured out the pencil didn't exist and everything I had written on with it disappeared.  Wish I could show it to you ;)

Is your pulse back to normal? Was an actual actuary actually speaking, or was it an acting actuary, actually? You do know how to find entertainment. Did you pay to hear the actuary speak? I get excited watching paint dry (has to be semi gloss latex), but to listen to a real live (but not too alive) actuary, well nothing could top that. What are the chances that this actuary will live until he is 80 and is not involved anytime soon in a life threatening accident. Did you do the math? Is he  into extreme sports such as Chinese Checkers and Connect Four? I wish I had chosen that as my career path, instead I am stuck in  the same old same old as a Formula One race car driver. Some people have all the luck.

Hi; I do appreciation baskets quite often.  I start with a pretty basket I find at Michaels/Hobby Lobby/or any Craft store; know your budget.  Fill with lotion, candles, gift certificate to dinner or movie, nice card telling how much that person means to you.  Add anything special that they collect ... I know our pastor's wife loves pretty journals and pens; anything personal that shows you "thought" about them -- that's the trick.  I recently did this and included the other ladies by having them "donate" to her -- like a money tree -- we gave her the money and it really blessed her.  Also, I had the ladies write down a blessing or special note of appreciation to her and included that in a beautiful china cup for her to read later.  I didn't just use one poem, I used a bunch of blessings -- a basket full of blessings.  Have fun!  She will be blessed just because you thought of her!

Is the port clogged for the black ink? Also I have bought brand new ink cartridges and they were bad (so wouldn't put out the ink) and returned them for a different one and that one worked fine. Try cleaning the heads/ports and if that doesn't take care of it, return the cartridge and for a new one/different one (that one may be no good). Also on the slim off chance, make sure it isn't in backwards. I do know someone who did that. She didn't know how to change one, as her husband had always done it. I had to show her how to put it in right.

That is beautiful. It's heartfelt and I used to write a lot and in High school I was picked best writer by the teachers. This poem seems as though you or whoever wrote this wasn't writing because they felt they had to but because these are feelings that plague them everyday. I feel that the only way to be a true writer is to be able to contact the feelings inside of you and bring them out in pictures instead of words and put those pictures into words on paper. It seems that's what the writer was doing and did a very good job at interpreting her own thoughts and pictures. That's what I do, I'm an only child so all I had was my own thoughts and imagination. Keep writing so you can get better and more refined and you could compile a book of poetry and get it published and make some good money off of it. Sorry that was my entrepreneurial side coming out of me. Good work though!!!! Practice makes perfect, you can be an excellent writer once you keep practicing and find your own style. Excellent hope to see more!

only if you're planning a diabolical plot to steal all the pens in the world and send them back to pen island so we alll have to use pencils agian like the 1400s BCE\nactually. the pen came first. so you'd actually be modernizing us. :)

Hmm, which poems are they, out of curiousity? Feel free to email them to me and I may be able to write you back their explanations. I have always enjoyed the study of poetry.\n\nOr, try searching Yahoo or Google for the poem titles and explanations - like "Death Be Not Proud explanation." Also, try out wikipedia.org. Many poems are listed on that encyclopedic site (along with many other things), and you should have no trouble finding the poems on there and their meanings.\n\nBest of luck to you. :)

OK, I'll admit it, they're mine.  I lost them sometime after I got married and gave up trying to find them during the divorce.  How the hell they got all the way over there is beyond me.  I've obtained a new set since then so you can keep them if you want.

This is very definitely a dying art. I used to write handwritten letters quite often, as my family are somewhat scattered about the country (and globe), as are many of my friends. The Internet came along and changed all that, doubtless permanently.\n\nFor what it's worth, when I send an email or e-card (in place of a personal letter or paper card) I still put in the same time and effort and my writing style is unchanged. But no, it's just not the same and I'd be the last person to argue otherwise.\n\nHandwritten letters and cards do have special meaning for me, and that's why on those rare occasions when I do write and post them, it is for someone I love a great deal. I'd not do it otherwise.\n\nThat said, I no longer save greeting cards as I once did (I'm still sentimental but I'm not a pack-rat), though I do still save handwritten letters if they hold special meaning for me (love letters, for example).\n\nIn closing, I wonder if handwriting itself now suffers universally (I know mine does) because of our reliance on keyboards to write anything at all. I'm no Luddite but I always lament the loss of traditions and practices once considered essential to our species. I'm afraid personal, handwritten letters are going the way of the dodo. I only wish it were not so.

I had 2 pen pals from Japan, when I was in the 7th grade of Ele. School;  then, while older--in my 40's and 50's had about 20 pen pals from all across USA! I need to write some of them right now; many of them do not have Computers and Email.---  My favorites:  postal mail, but email sure does save on POSTAGE.
