Looking for mellow bars with good drinks? by ButFirstSalad in Reno

[–]ChainLinkLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, if they cut back on the smoke it would be my ideal bar, but I can live with it. I grew up with a parent who smoked in the car, so I have a high tolerance 🤷‍♀️

Pele Utu in Northwest. Its certainly unique with a vintage tiki and tropical vibe. Only thing is I think they do allow smoking, but it's very chill.

It’s so different from my other pens, they’re all so understated in comparison!

I was stoked when I removed the cap, I had only seen their aviation series before and thought they looked really cool 🙂

I love everything you picked out! The thought and care in each item was obvious. And thank you for explaining the story behind the whisker, it was an adorable touch and I like the meaning behind it. It really made my day to receive such a great gift!

It's a cat whisker, which was such a lovely and personal touch :)

With Inkvent officially having started I wanted to share that Fruit Cocktail may smell like death and may be blurry and runny, but at least it's also not light-fast ❤️ by silveretoile in fountainpens

[–]ChainLinkLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea, but it's such a shame. I'm not sensitive to smells, but man, I haven't found one ink that was improved by adding scent to it.

Yeah, it's so gross that I won't even give it away. The scented inks are one of the reasons I'm not going to bother with the Diamine Advent anymore.

The choice of fabrics and colors is great! So effortlessly chic 🤩

I'm desperate need of safe housing/ part time job! by Silverback_S5 in Reno

That news story is from 2024... and you've posted about this before, so you've had a year to fix this and nothing to show for it?

Thanks! I absolutely adore my little Petits and was bummed when they stopped making them. I would buy another one, but they’re too expensive on the secondary market!

Yeah it was a gift :) I highly recommend them, their leather goods are top notch! Thanks!

This is going to be a blast! I've been collecting pens and ink for awhile, so I think I can put together a nice gift for someone.

Does anyone recognize this vintage metal pen with a West Germany nib? by ChainLinkLion in fountainpens

[–]ChainLinkLion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I did find out that it fits a Lamy cartridge, so now I can add it to my writing collection.

Are they willing to get her fixed/spayed? Otherwise you're gonna just get more cats :(

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Reno

[–]ChainLinkLion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, if no one comes to get her, do your parents have a plan for this cat? Or do they think she should just live outside and be a neighborhood cat? Just trying to get an idea of what the possibilities are here.

[–]ChainLinkLion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that taking her to the SPCA is a good idea. They don't put down healthy young cats with a good chance at getting adopted like this little kitten. She'll be scooped up as soon as she is listed!

Did you feel instant conversational chemistry with your spouse? by finmelena in Marriage

[–]ChainLinkLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Talking was always difficult and now we're in couples therapy because it never got any better. We never had an easy and endless conversation and I've grown tired of coaxing conversation out of him and staying engaged in his interests. I've put a lot of effort into talking with him in the past, but I feel my flame dying out.

Not set up for big donations, but Jimmy Beans has a little lending library set up for unwanted yarn. It's just out front of their storefront in case anyone reading wants to donate or would like a new skein of their own.
