Almost bought some thin shoulder pads yesterday but decided they weren't the ones I want...but am still looking everywhere for some like the Kirkwood ones I had years ago. They make such a difference in the way my tops look; if you know where to get thin ones, I am all ears! Don't want the silicone ones. 


@Duckncover Amazon of course.  Kathleen Kirkwood sold foam shoulder pads.  I bought some of her thin ones about 30 years ago, to replace the big ones in my clothes.  Just type foam shoulder pads in the search bar, and you will probably find something you like.  They have everything.

A pack of Bic pens with the clear acrylic body and blue cap. I didnt even need pens but I always liked these and they took me back and they were cheap. Then it got me thinking about the solid white body with the blue cap. I wonder if they are still around. Silly, but they really took me back some years.



Are they these?  This is my all-time favorite pen.  I have several boxes of them because I figure at any time, since I like them, they will become obsolete.

 

Amazon.com : Pilot (36011) Pilot BP-S Better Ball-Point, Fine, Blue,  24/Pack : Office Products


 

@chickenbutt That is a Pilot pen.  Bic is its own brand.  

 

@aprilskies They have both clear and white barrel pens available in Amazon.

I HATE to admit it, but I buy those all the time and they are like Crack to me.   I need rehab.

Now, why did I think that had anything to do with Bic?   D'oh!  Sorry about that.    I have no idea why I thought that.   But, I do love those pens.   I'm just not that bright anymore.  Smiley Very Happy

The white ones were sort of slippery as I remember but I actually ran one of the clear ones out of ink before I lost it.

@chickenbutt @NYCLatinaMe, those are it, the Cristals.  I hope my new pack is as good as the one I have. Yes, the white barrel was a bit different back then. I am going to search for them but I dont really recall seeing them at all. 

 

@chickenbutt, I am going to check out that Pilot pen.  I think I would like that. I like pens and love when I find ones that really write well.

@aprilskies  I think I have seen them on Amazon!  They still have the ones that wrote with four colors--remember the white and blue ones?  Woman Happy

 

Amazon has tons of pens that write in pink ink--My signature from jr. high on through college (along with turquoise ink!).  Remember anyone the Scripto pens?


 

@Sooner, Yes, I remember the ones with four colors, they were fun.  When I was checking around for the other ones, I saw them too. I was surprised to see them. 

 

This was a great thread.

@aprilskies I found the pens in Amazon.  That is where I got the pictures.  Searched for "bic white barrel".  Both products were on the first page of results.

@godi   Mmmmm, love those.  Did you "feel the sensation"?  🍫


@SloopJohnB  I love your tag line about the David Gates/Bread song.  I just asked Alexa to play that song for me. I'm feeling mellow and nostalgic today.
