Do you still use pencils?

I seem to have as many pencils as pens around here..and I rarely use them. I seem to only use them if I am measuring something and need to make marks, or if something specifically calls for pencil. What about you? Do you use pencils?

My grandson was here recently and was looking for a pencil to do some homework. We didn't have a single pencil in the house.

I usually use my smartphone to take notes, but for the grocery list or minor notes, I still use paper. I use both pens and pencils, it depends on what I get first.

I think most of mine are sharpened. I am going to have to look.

@snowy22315 The only pencil I sharpen a lot is the eye one.

Yes, I do still use pencils. I still like using them. I like writing on paper with pencils.

They come in handy if you are doing crossword puzzles in paper form.

@snowy22315 An excellent point. Few of us are so good as to do crosswords in ink.

I use pencils to mark things in my children's textbooks and I also use them for my devotionals as well.

I use both. I love the smell of a freshly sharpened pencil.

Yes I do for marking measurements and other things you don't want permanent marking.

I use pencils quite often. I use pencil in my address and phone books because the numbers often change. And with some contacts I only need the information for a little while. With a pencil I can then erase them later.

Yep, I am a pencil and pen hoarder and I still use them. I like writing in notebooks when ideas are fresh instead of waiting to get on my laptop. I also draw so pencils help out haha

I do have several of both but since I rarely use pencils..it seems like they stay in the cup and don't get tracked all over the place like pens sometimes do.
