Just sorted out my pen display cabinet. I display ALL of my pens in here even the one's that I have messed up on. It looks as though each shelf, of which there are four of, can display 25 pens with ease. I don't think I will win any awards for productivity as those on display have taken a...

Borrowed this off a friend. Smart Woman After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Forty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10- inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23 - year...
