LIVE from Appleton | APTV 573

I’m so glad you’re moving in to your new condo. I bet it was cold without the heat on! My mother grew up in northern WI (Port Wing - right along Lake Superior). She always described living there as 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad sledding 😂. Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁 🎉

So glad your mishaps with the move worked out okay! We will be here at home for Christmas. We’ll make a traditional Norwegian Pork Roast with apples and onions. Since we’re in Los Angeles, we’re grateful that we will not have a heatwave and we’ll get to wear any Christmas sweaters. Wish you all a Merry Christmas in your new place!

Thinking of you today as you have your last official day in the shop. I enjoyed stopping by a few years ago when traveling from my home in Virginia. Best wishes on what's next for you. I hope it has something to do with pens!!! Needless to say, I'm sad for the forced transition.

A lovely episode by lovely people. May you prosper in the future. God bless.

My brother, sister-in-law, husband and I are going to our favorite Chinese restaurant. We're not Jewish, but since the kids have all grown up and moved away, we've found that Christmas is so relaxing when you don't have to cook or clean up. I'll miss you. Good luck with all of your future endeavors.

May you have a Merry Christmas and may the New Year be happy and full of great opportunities

Best of luck, and I hope to see you online again. Happy holidays!

Much love to you guys

Enjoy the Christmas Lasagna. Great tradition, along with the ice cream bar… although I might go for a Kringle if I lived in Wisconsin still. Take care on all the transitions.

My family has started a tradition of ordering fresh Maine lobster meat and making lobster rolls and French fries on Christmas Eve.

Would love to shop at Lovely Pens.

[@martinnewhouse1844]

I too will miss you-you guys have been great! Wishing you great success and happiness in the future.

Merry Christmas to you all. You are amazing and I am so thankful for you! It was a “LOVELY” video!!! ;)

Hi Lisa and Brian. Congratulations on the new digs! Great to hear you have a new place to call home! One year as part of the Christmas Eve entertainment, we got a bunch of inexpensive sweaters/sweatshirts from Target, and art supplies from Hobby Lobby, and had everyone create their own ugly sweater. And later in the evening we voted on the best/worst sweater, most creative sweater, honorable mentions, etc., and gave out prizes to the winners. It was lots fun to see what everyone came up with. Christmas will be low key this year.

[@dawnholder8819]

Despite all that is going on, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!

[@Gregwisconsin]

Love the joke. Season’s greetings. Hope your new home is cozy and got cat approval!

Hello! I really enjoyed watching and getting all the updates. Congrats on the new place but wow what a story! So glad the frozen pipe scare is behind you. Merry Christmas and best wishes as you tackle everything in the next several weeks. 💕 POSTSCRIPT: Serendipitously, the order I placed with you last week arrived on my front step during today’s APTV! Now that is what I call a good day. 😊

It would be so much more convenient to order from y'all if we were in the same country. Maybe Wisconsin and Minnesota could join together and become Canada' 11th province!

Hi Lisa & Brian. Based on APTV572 I ordered, and have received the Red & Green Retro 51 Vintage Classic Lacquer pens. Sitting at my desk watching KZbin I remembered Brian saying the lettering could be removed on the pen with polishing. Well, I did try polishing the lettering off the pens, but it just so happened I had 3 types of erasers in my organizer and figured what the heck. It was a bit of a workout, but they did a beautiful job of removing the lettering in a relatively short time. I generally avoid ordering ink in winter time, but in a couple of previous orders I had done just that. Fortunately they stayed above freezing and they all made it without a catastrophe!! That is except the Lamy Amozonite - it wasn't disaster, but it had leaked. I think it may have happened in production/packaging at the factory. A little bit of the ink had gotten out and stained the cardboard piece that holds the bottle in the center of the box it comes in. I'm glad your move went well and avoided the disaster of burst pipe. Take Care.

Hi Lisa and Brian, I'm SO glad to hear that the move went OK, even if was somewhat harrowing. For Christmas, Maria and I plan to make a quick trip to Madison, and then the kids and grandkid will all be at our house in early January. I hope that you have a great holiday!

[@nicholasadams1283]

Will miss you very much.

[@Calcprof]

Bye for now, I look forward to seeing you again in whatever form your resurrection takes, Stay well.

[@donaldgoerig6171]

Brian, I would suggest adding a laugh track when you tell the joke :)

[@johnnyragadoo2414]

Looking forward to your next chapter - and also looking forward to never doing business with anyone associated with your troubles.

[@jacobus57]

O man, I remember when your ultrasonic bit it😬😬😬
