We have a few left from a care package someone sweet sent us, and I tend to use those for myself! :) We go through alot since all 5 of us are studying. We have Horse brand here, but they cannot compare to Ticonderoga. Kathy, I want to see a picture of your organized shelves and paperwork, mine is not organized and I feel I am not gaining any ground on it. ick. :) Glad to have you back! Yes, pencil brand matters!

I only know one other person (well, now two) besides me who will only buy Ticonderoga pencils. They are the best! I never really knew pencils had a "quality" until I used these. One of the best parts, I think, is that the leads are strong. They don't break off often at all. Some pencils break frequently, you sharpen it, the lead is already broken, you sharpen it again Etc etc. SO I hear you! I bought ours at Costco. Are you keeping up with Dave Ramsey? How's it going? We are in the home stretch of BS2 now. Hopefully in the next month or two. I leave to go see DR In Atlanta next week. I am volunteering so I will be able to go see him for free. And my DH and I start our DR FPU class tomorrow (Sunday). Leeann niccofive.blogspot.com Kathy,

We use Bic "mechanical" ones so we don't need to worry about a sharpener. And our child who gets goose bumps and shivers whenever writing with a pencil has said they aren't as shivery as traditional pencils. She needs to practice using one, though, as the PSAT people said mechanical ones aren't allowed. Now why would that be? Pencil preferences: an interesting topic right there!

Now I have a certain type of pens, so I can sympathize a little. But really a specific wood pencil??? Maybe if it were mechanical. Who still even uses wood pencils ;) Seriously?

Thank goodness you're back (even without pictures). I didn't realize how attached I'd become to the Edgren family until there were no posts. Not even about tomatoes. Hope your whole internet slowness malady gets better soon. Chris (regular reader; irregular commenter) (somehow that last part doesn't sound quite right!) Good heavens!
