I have had penpals since elementary school. There was an exchange program in my school, and it was one of  the best things that ever happened to me. I picked up a few more along the way and we all refuse to succumb to the temptations of going digital. We like 'real' letters'. We look forward to receiving something other than a bill in the mail. We write often. And because I have multiple pen pals, I end up with wrist pain by the time I'm done. (In all fairness, long periods of time with my mouse can tend to cause similar pain!).

I am a stationery addict and can easily and readily find pretty papers to work with and add to my ever growing collection, but what I hadn't been able to find in all these years is the right pen. 'The' pen, you know the one, the one you won't let anyone else in the house use; the one you would never dream of lending to your co-workers. . . Until now that is!

I have finally found that pen I refuse to share. And it makes my marathon letter writing sessions go that much smoother. I can write now for long periods of time pain free, and that to me is absolutely priceless!

It's called the UGLee Pen. A not so pretty name for an ergonomic pen with a comfort grip; it's a comfort pen! I honestly didn't know what to expect when I opened the package. The ergo grip is large and I feared it might start to feel slimy to the touch after extended use. My letter writing sessions usually take awhile, I thought perhaps the heat generated by my hand as I write would make the rubber grip feel weird, but much to my delight, it did not. The ergo grip keeps things slip proof, and I noticed immediately that I use way less pressure to write because of the ergo support of the grip allowing me to write longer, with a smooth and easy flow.

It's been two months, and aside from all the benefits I've mentioned (less pressure to write, non slip grip, drastic reduction in wrist pain) I am pleasantly surprised that my pen has yet to run out of ink with DAILY use! I have hit this pen hard and it shows absolutely no signs of stopping.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - About the Inventor:

Dr. Lee's Story

As a medical student, I wrote volumes in terms of notes. In medicine, medical notes are all hand written. I averaged 20 full pages of hand written notes a day... day in and day out for years.

You can imagine how my hand kept cramping up! I spent a lot of time and money looking for a comfortable pen. After trying what I believe to be every pen out there, I failed painfully to find even one!

I was frustrated because most pens were not designed for comfort at all. The few that were listed as "comfort pen" were obviously mislabeled.

I was determined to create my own pen - one that would meet my expectations of comfort. Since then, I have spent over eight years to create the first truly comfortable pen. The pursuit of pen comfort became a hobby... no, an obsession during this eight year period. I dedicated an inordinate amount of my own time and resources in this endeavor.

Luckily, I am blessed with an extremely patient and understanding wife - our garage is full of various machinery, pen prototypes, and pen materials collected over the years!

My drive to create the ultimate comfort pen led me to go as far as to study the structure of the human hand using X-ray and researching the attachment and function of hand muscles to design the perfect grip.

The result is the UGLee Pen. A pen that is not only the most comfortable pen, but is physician designed to be the most comfortable ergonomic pen around.

Dr. Lee's story behind the development of the pen fascinated me, a little known fact about  me (well except to family and close friends) is that I was Pre-Med and aspired to become a Cardiologist.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Kids Need UGLee, Too!

You already know that it takes years of practice learning how to write. Did you know that it also takes years to build up the correct muscles to do so effeciently? Kids are also at risk for repetitive stress injury, in fact that can be where it starts! Because of their underdeveloped muscles, it is easy for children to accumulate small injuries early. Get your children an UGLee Pen and help prevent future hand problems!

I am very rough on all my writing instruments (oh my poor chewed pencils!) and I cannot find one negative to report regarding this pen. It's taken numerous falls and the case has not cracked, I have not yet run out of ink, and the ergo grip on this pen is fantastic. It is definitely a 're-buy' in my book, and will replace all my pens in my writing desk. They are also quite reasonably priced, especially in comparison to the benefits it offers! A 3-Pack of UGLee Pens are now only $19.99!

NOTE: Readers have asked us to make entering the contests and giveaways, faster and easier. Your wish is our command! We have moved our 'Today's Butterfly - Featured Site(s) of the day, which is where we host our giveaways, to the upper right hand side of the page. It will be located here from now on to make entering the giveaways faster and easier. Keep the suggestions coming, remember we also have a NING group with real time chat, you can give us your comments and suggestions in REAL time, how cool is that?

NOTE 2: Twitter followers: please remember you must also follow Ascending Butterfly using Google friends connect on the upper right hand side of the page for your entries to be processed. And remember if your profile does not have an email and you don't leave your email in your entry, we will not accept your entry. Make sure your entry or your profile have your email address!

Just a helpful Reminder: How to Follow Using Google Friends Connect:

Please look to the upper right hand side, where the follower pictures are. (Note the number of followers before you start this process)

1) press the follow button - the google pop up wizard will open, this is not an ad and your pop up blocker will not block it

2) tick the option that reads 'follow this blog publicly' once that button is selected, hit follow again - it should now read 'you are now following'

3) if the follower count went up you know you did it succesfully, if your profile has a picture, that picture will be the first one on the left side. If your profile doesn't have one, it should still be searchable on the members list. (Remember, following a blog, does NOT subscribe you to receive emails, you have to subscribe separately to do that, you will not receive emails for following)

Are you getting the dreaded 'Your Entry Can't Be Processed' message when leaving an entry or comment? Before hitting enter, highlight your comment and COPY it. If you get that message after hitting enter and your comment is still there, just ignore the message and hit enter again, then you will get a screen with a captcha code, enter the captcha code, then submit and VOILA. If after you hit the submit button the first time, you get the dreaded message and the comment 'disappeared' no worries, that's why I asked you to copy it in the first step. Paste it back in and submit again. This has worked for me when comment boxes have glitched on me, and I hope it helps you too!
