I've got a package of brand new 'Grip' Papermate pens. I "wrote"
circles for at least one minute each with several of them, with no
result. Granted, the package had been opened, but the caps were firmly
affixed to the pens.

I hate the stupid keyless ignitions. You have to take the key out of
your pocket to push the 'unlock' button, and then you have to put it
back in your pocket instead of inserting it in the handy holder near the
steering wheel. If I put it in the cup holder I run the risk of leaving
it there when I lock the car with the lock-button in the door. Unless
you have a Lexus or something that unlocks when you approach. A friend
has one of those. The outside mirrors fold in order to let you know
whether the car is locked or unlocked. One more thing to go wrong.
 
Is anybody here on facebook? A lot of people in my other favorite
groups have switched... I'm Bev Ashley with the orange face and the
cynical expression.
