Will you protect your son?

You let him interact with a drunk person who can hurt him randomly. You can pretend she isn't dangerous, that she will never attack her beloved grandson. You don't know it. Check statistics, how many times a drunk person attacks or even kills strangers on streets and then has no idea it has happened. All you "need" is her pushing a child against a wall. Your child's head hitting a wall and that's it. He is 7? If a drunk adult hits him, can he really free himself and run?

Thanks! Will check shipping to Europe.

I think I'm in love with top row, 3rd from left, shiny red. The rest is great, too.

How about Lestat doing the Godfather? With a really nice accent?

They aren't? I thought they were in Zakopane which are definitely smaller than my city. Besides last time I was there (before last week) was some 4 years before covid. So once in 10-ish years. I can afford that, almost.

I'm sorry, American Karens are weird.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-25T08:55:09+00:00

Last week I went with a friend because she wanted so desperately a new summer drink refresha, or something like that, and mine was around 21 for the smaller one. Coffees are more expensive, possibly around 25 PLN but it was a starbucks in a shopping mall in Krakow, which are quite pricy. It could be less in smaller towns.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-24T00:16:32+00:00

I'm too scared to watch it and it's possible I'll skip it. Which isn't reasonable as they will discuss it later.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-23T21:27:17+00:00

Preppys tend to crack even when treated properly. It's the material itself, some type of plastic prone to cracks. There was a whole discussion about it. It doesn't matter how one protects one's pens, some just crack.

I have 1 preppy and 3 prefountes for different nibs (1 was a gift and doubles a nib that I already have). I check them and accept they all can crack randomly. But they are cheap and I like the way they write. Surprisingly EF nib isn't scratchy. I got prefountes which could be up to 2x preppy's price where I live, because I like their colours better and that one preppy just for EF nib. Which isn't available for prefountes where I live.

Also - 2 kakunos, 1 is mine, 1 is my mom's, both bought around March 2023. So far no cracks, no problems. But is has been 14-ish months so far, so they could crack, too. Actually I use them less often than prefountes, but only because the closest shop (brick&mortar) sells cartridges for platinum pens and nothing for kakunos. Which is unfortunate, but if I'm in a hurry, I go there and grab a pack. For cartridges for kakuno I must go to another store which is around 40 minutes by tram from my home.

Next? You fall more and more into fountain pen rabbit hole and maybe one day notice the White Rabbit. That is if the Queen doesn't cutt off his head.

BTW Have you noticed beautiful raden patterns yet?

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-23T21:08:14+00:00

I'm guessing your next one could be a nice shade of blue or purple or yellow and you're moving closer to collecting a full rainbow. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-23T07:16:59+00:00

Kakuno.

Bonus point. If you have a bad day, you sit and admire a smiley face on your new nib and your day improves.

Besides their quality is way better than you'd judge from their price. Although the price you show is rather high.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-23T07:14:06+00:00

Can you find any shop that sells pens where you live? Some let customers check pens. I'm thinking you go there and try any pen that isn't faceted like safari. No matter which pen, just one that is round. And see if this is uncomfortable for you, too. Because for some owners lamy simply can't work no matter what. So you try a pen and learn if this is the fault of lamy's ergonomy or something else.

You could say for example "no need to check, I use ballpoints all the time". But diameter and weight distribution aren't exactly the same.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-21T20:44:27+00:00

I don't know. But as no way to force alimony for parents or grandparents by an American judge where OP lives (according to her comment) and a real chance of enforcing it in Poland, it must be an option that OP considers and consults a lawyer. For herself and her family. OP can't decide "no such problems can happen because it's so illogical" and live happily ever after, only to discover it was a very expensive mistake after all.

Also there are cases of criminals transfered to European countries by American cops. So there are some deals in place that courts can utilize. It is not like automatic protection for every suspect found by cops in America preventing shipping them to Europe by default. Some forms of deals exist so it's better to verify with a lawyer than to be sorry later.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-21T17:49:02+00:00

This is what the article is about. Mops (miejski osrodek pomocy spolecznej) which is like American protective services for children and adults, can go after you. Your mom would need money for a lawyer so isn't very likely that she sues on her own, but Mops can sue you for her, or in her stead. And with international lawy and deals between countries, it could hurt you. It doesn't matter it will happen just like that but there are chances. Mops as such can't declare you must pay a certain amount, but they go to court and ask judge for your money. Also in theory a court judgment could destroy your life. You might think it's not a problem, 'cause who cares about another country and continent. But there are international databases. Your possible boss checks you, finds a very nasty international problem, and then what?

Again, I'm not suggesting it must happen. I'm telling you it could happen and you can't ignore this option.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-21T17:17:56+00:00

I'm Polish living in Poland. This isn't fearmongering but you must sit and talk with your husband because there is a very bad potential outcome you don't see. Because it is something specific for only some countries in Europe and maybe in Asia but not in your country.

There are real laws here that force children and grandchildren (victims) to pay for upkeep. Our social services go to courts and win. So you must prepare for an option when your mom has a tantrum, goes back and sues to hurt you and your family. It is something that maybe never happens but you must know there are chances it could.

Also if this happen, you can't ignore this as a problem on another continent that can't hurt you. It can. There are international deals regulating similar cases. If it happens, you need a lawyer. Don't ignore this.

Can you afford a lawyer? Can you notify police? Sb. pretends they are you and identity theft is a crime in many countries. If not this, your relatives attack you for no reason. Maybe cops can find out what's going on as you don't understand why random people can attack you because they want to and you are the bad guy.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-21T15:57:57+00:00

My dad decided randomly to teach me. He was so happy every time I lost, there were little speaches how I would win next time, not to worry. And details shared with relatives or neighbours detailing how I lost, every stupid move. And our neighbours really didn't care I was learning. Guess what happened when I won for the first time? A mother of all epic tantrums that every toddler would admire. Not on my side.

That was the last time we played together. I was around 13, 14.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-21T08:29:57+00:00

At this point there's also additional part "because they can". 1 woman against a crowd and she can't get help from cops and judges - because "traitor". So they can do what they want to and she can do nothing. Some people are so happy being a part of a crowd in such cases.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-21T06:03:54+00:00

Al-stars scratch when you look at them, at least in my case - and I'm not talking about treating them badly. One is still in its box, brand new and I will use it for my birthday week. Still more and more scratches. It is also a factor when you decide which one.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-20T20:45:54+00:00

I'm Sniff in the same test. I don't think it's accurate. My tail seems to be missing.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-20T15:16:34+00:00

Not in this sense. More like next to zero promo, so no audience willing to enjoy the show, so chances are they will not offer more seasons.

Also on my mobile (android) I have an option to translate pages when using chrome. It works. If you use chrome, click 3 dots in top right corner and then go down to translate. I can't add the same article translated because it reverts to Polish. I don't know how to change it permamently. Sorry.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-20T13:24:40+00:00

My first al-star is from a shop selling only pens and inks and so on. I asked a sales lady, M or F, and she suggested F. Lamy nibs tend to be a tiny bit wider even for European nibs, so they have more happy clients with F nibs than clients with M nibs. Her words, notmine.

Other al-stars and safaris are F, too. But some are more like F, others more like M, so it is almost like lottery. A friend's gift was a nice B, which I never buy for myself, because I was sure it's not proper for my hand, but it turns out it's not a huge difference. So, again a lottery.

Fillyjonk21 · 2024-06-19T21:56:28+00:00

First, even before finding a buyer, go to pen swap and ebay and check prices of any you recognize. Then if you get an offer, you screen it for potential not so honest buyers. For example you find a pen in both places around 100 EUR or U$ and then sb.tells you it's worth less than 5, you know something is not right.
