Thanks, MKap! We're waiting for our Raffle License from Lansing before we can get the tickets printed - but I will DEFINITELY keep 2 aside for you and keep your table reserved! Hopefully, JC and T, and B and I will be able to sit down and all visit at this next Polish dinner. We're getting more practice on a smooth kitchen to table delivery!

We'll do our best to be there.

Plenty of time to plan - we can talk about it more later..

**jcole** · September-11-09, 08:38 PM

Hey, I'm going down to the church tomorrow for Mass and sloppy joes, so no demerits for me, dude.

Yesterday marked one year since Dave [[7_and_kelly_kid) passed.

Eternal rest grant unto him, oh Lord.

Awfully quiet around here.

Glad to report that I got a Polish food fix on Sunday. We didn't make it to Polonia in time [[they close at 7pm on Sunday), but we found that Under the Eagle was serving. The food was pretty good, but it was a bit stifling inside. I'll make it to Polonia next time, and will write an essay comparing and contrasting the two restaurants.

Anybody got a cartridge fountain pen I can borrow?

I think Eastburn can help you with the fountain pen.
We're all waiting on the Polish restaurant comparison. You have a captive audience.

As long as it's an Esterbrook. You get your choice of colors.

Never a doubt.

These are the ones we used. Sheaffer's fountain pens. Usually red, green or blue barrel

**Campfire Girl** · September-15-09, 03:33 PM

I LOVED those pens! I had a blue and a clear one ---the clear one was my "cool" one - though all of them splooshed ink out at any given moment. Putting in a new ink cartridge - always an adventure.

**12468_laing** · September-15-09, 08:38 PM

I always had the green one. Stupid question, anyone know if you can still buy them?

My fingers are turning blue just looking at it!

**Tsomyak** · September-15-09, 09:25 PM

Amazon has the cartridges and some pens, although the pens look to be a step up from the ones we had. Do you think that means they leak less?

I hope not. That was half the fun.

Seriously ... what a blast from the past. During those lull times when the teachers were yammering on about something totally useless and boring, I used to take that thing apart and reassemble it. Come to think of it, I could still use something like that now for meetings.

So you're the one who messed up those new pristine formica topped desks.... And the "catechism kids" got blamed.

Poll: [[on a related note to the fountain pen discussion....Sorry girls, this is geared more toward the male audience)

Anyone use a pocket protector?

[[Me..Not till HS)

**12468_laing** · September-16-09, 09:44 AM

I had a pocket protector for a short time - my dad brought it home from work - Fruehauf - and I thought it was cool. Got rid of it as I thought it made my shirt pocket heavy. As for the desk tops, I remember the old wooden lift tops what had the ink bottle holes, always had a small student made hole between the wooden slats that I used to put my pen tip in. Could you imagine a school with those pens today? I would think there would be more "incidents" of flying ink than before.

**12468_laing** · September-16-09, 10:04 AM

this talk about the pens got me thinking. what did everyone use to carry your books? my sister and I had those plaid plastic book bags with a zipper top mom got from the school. in the winter, they cracked, and in the summer, they stuck to our arms.
