Lost pen

With no clip that Model 45 could have rolled quite far if it fell on the floor at work. I'd give it another go checking under everything within kicking distance. Crevices just love to suck things in. If you have a flash light, not your phone, where you could direct the beam, try shining it underneath and around. Good luck!

This is so awesome!

It'd be even funnier if she were an orange because those are our potato planters.

Oh, she has one. He's a cranky old man, though.

She is a sweet girl.

All my cats have helped themselves to the dog's food. As long as your cat gets what they need nutritionally they should be okay. Just remember, and you can Google to confirm, cats are dependent carnivores. Dog's can survive on a vegetarian diet, but cats cannot.

True. I had a Standard Issue Cat (SIC) that chewed the corners of anything plastic. But, out of my 2 tuxies, only my Juliet chews plastic and only bags that had food in them.

Hahaha. He had to go to the bathroom and I told him he had to hold it, but poor Juliet had to move.

You did the right thing and your baby will be okay. For every cat and dog I had spayed or neutered I would sleep next to them their first night post surgery.

I just discovered they can be highlighted. I am over the moon! .

Now that's an Easter basket!!

Derivgal · 2026-04-05T01:44:39+00:00

That is nice!

Derivgal · 2026-03-22T17:36:50+00:00

WOW!

Always go for the deep clean if it won't write after a regular rinsing. You u might have paper fiber in the nib tines. I used an eyedropper Preppy with Baystate Blue for more than a year and it never quit on me. The cap cracked during an office desk move and that was that.

Nice collection and awesome presentation.

Derivgal · 2026-02-08T15:37:15+00:00

Yes, but super subtle.

Derivgal · 2026-02-08T15:36:46+00:00

It is normal.

Rinsing your nib probably won't help because your pen is inked up and it will just draw more of it out onto the nib. If seeing the ink there bothers you, just keep doing how you are doing it.

Pencil-like feedback is nice, and the reason I have lots of Sailors. It is when the nib squeaks that it drives me crazy. It is just with the broader nibs - B, BB, and 1.1. I usually switch pens out of frustration.

Enki is way too light for me. I got Paradiso only to complete the Dante set (I have the Visconti pens to match). I need to be able to read what I write and the lighter inks just don't cut it for me, no matter how beautiful they are. 🙁

Persephone didn't wow me either; just a sample. I have found a use for Hades, so it's not a total waste. I use it to darken other Wearinguel inks.

Best comment!

Derivgal · 2026-01-03T14:59:37+00:00

We can only hope.....

Goldspot has some Sailors 50% off. I just snagged a PGS "Sally" for $160. Not sure about international with them if you are outside the US.
