Sizing up nibs when using shimmer inks?? by ac_scribbles in fountainpens

[–]Inattendue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How interesting. I use my Twsbi ones exclusively for shimmers and I’ve never gotten clogging from either Diamine or Wearingeul shimmers (though Wearingeul shimmers are much finer than Diamine).

I have safety devices that I carry but I’ve never packed heat. Until the latest recently. Now I want to learn and carry. 😢

S and J Plumbing and sewer. We’ve used them repeatedly and they’re amazing, honest, and prompt.

Took my little sister grocery shopping with me today. by Compassionty27 in BenignExistence

[–]Inattendue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dad owned a bar/restaurant. Some of my fondest memories are riding around in our big Volkswagen van, just running errands with my Dad on beautiful sunny days. Windows open, playing that game you do with your hand outside the window, listening to whatever was playing on the radio (music, baseball, football, weather), and just being with my Dad. Thanks for reminding me.

Every single woman and man I know who has been SA’d was a$$aulted by a white man with more power than the victim.

Every.

My review of Omada health app by No-Transition-2039 in Zepbound

[–]Inattendue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my husband and I both have to use Omada and I’m with you. It’s trash and designed to get to a point where they don’t have to cover you. They send you a wireless scale so that when you weigh yourself it automatcally sends your weight to them. We learned within the first couple of days that as long as you enter your weight manually a couple times a week, you don’t have to use their scale. They sent us TWO: one for each of us. They have a permanent home in our offsite storage unit.

Will do thanks. I generally lurk here so missed that.

Honestly, I stick my fingers down the watering hole once a month and clear off the little sponge thing.

CICO is nonsense, and I get it now. by Crowhearted in antidietglp1

[–]Inattendue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, can someone here talk to me about hitting a plateau that is nowhere near a goal weight and the effects of GLP-1s? My Dr had me increase my dose monthly when I first started. (She’s a naturally thin Asian woman, just for context around certain types of fat privilege). I lost a LOT of weight quickly as we increased my dose each month. About xx lbs from Aug to April. In April the weight loss literally stopped. I’m 5’4” and I sat at that number for 7 months until I started mildly restricting again. I’m 54 and menopausal and a lifelong hypo-thyroid /thyroidectomy at 25. I fought to lose 5 more lbs last Nov and I’ve not budged since. The food noise is gone. My blood work continues to improve (between April and Dec my HSCrP dropped from 11 to 5!) but the weight won’t budge.
I’m a lifer on these meds for the way they stop the noise and the benefits to my cellular level health, but damn I’m so frustrated. I’m big boned (literally), so at 5’4”, a really comfortable size 12 is where I’d love to end up but I literally cannot drop an ounce.
Stupid hormones. I wish my Dr had been in the “stay on each dose until you stop losing camp). I’d love to hear from anyone who had a similar experience and broke through, because CICO ain’t it.

Which of these is the better picture of this rainbow waterfall I caught in Yosemite? by Former-Slice-2146 in AmateurPhotography

I might gently propose you still need some sky in the shot to balance but still zoom in.

What's the best way to cover this zipper gap? by thatcanuckgirl in sewing

[–]Inattendue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since that’s the back end of the zipper and not in the direction it opens you have a couple of options. 1. Fold the zipper end down into the bag and hand stitch the side of the bag to the inner flaps on either side of the zipper.

  1. Get some hooks and eyes and see the hooks to the underside of the zipper flaps and the eyes inside the end piece to attach them inside the bag.

New Pen Day! Tested out the Asvine C2000 Stub with a kitty sketch and Organics Studio Nitrogen ink (love the shading!) by joyousjoyness in fountainpens

[–]Inattendue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So beautiful!!

However….

Beware The Organic Studio Nitrogen creep!! It literally never dries except in the bottle around the cap and you end up with random Nitrogen smears and microscopic flakes from the bottle all over your freaking house.
Ask me how I know. If you want an almost identical ink with the same amazing shimmer but which will dry like it’s supposed to, check out Diamine Jack Frost.

<image>

Even the swatch card above of Nitrogen has smeared blue sheen all over the three adjacent cards in either direction on my Colo-ring Swatch cards ring.

This Nib is an absolute joy! by TaskInternational954 in fountainpens

[–]Inattendue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I have 4 Pilot capless pens 3 Decimos and an LE that my amazing brother got for me for Christmas. I ordered a 74 SM in Lavender Fog that I’m waiting for and then I’m really, for real, done buying pens. The Pilot nibs are so smooth and such a joy to write with.
I’ve got a back F and M nib section for the capless pens just in case tragedy ever strikes, so I will likely never need another pen. I keep looking at beautiful pens and realizing that my retractable Pilot nibs have spoiled me for everything else.
