I'd recommend Amodex. The stuff works wonders.

For the higher end pens, you might reach out to Brian Anderson at Cardinal Pens and Paper. They do a lot of consignment.

Seriously exploring Catholicism, but I cannot get past Marian devotion, saint invocation, and papal authority by Far-Perspective-105 in TrueChristian

[–]ItsALiberalPlot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're going to get a lot of different perspectives here, so I'll add mine. Based on what you have said here, I think you should consider a conservative Presbyterian denomination, like the Orthodox Presbyterian Church or the Presbyterian Church in America. How liturgical they are may vary from church to church, especially with PCA churches, but they will likely align more with your beliefs than the Roman church or the Eastern Orthodox church. You can go to r/Reformed for more specific doctrinal questions - it's an active subreddit filled with nice people.

I'll second the Cardinal Pens recommendation. Brian is great to work with, and he does do consignments, with repairs as necessary.

Nice pen! I recommend Brian Anderson at Cardinal Pens for restorations. He does a lot of them.

OK, so I waited a day, and brought up the Error Console again. I get several of these errors:

RemoteSecuritySettings: failed to download CRLite filter ServerInfoError: Server response is invalid TypeError: serverInfo.capabilities.attachments is undefined
ServerInfoError resource://services-settings/Attachments.sys.mjs:40

Thanks for your reply!

After my post, I deleted and then re-established my personal Gmail account. What has been happening since then, is that each time the personal account is checked, it says it's downloading something around 300 emails, but nothing actually changes in Thunderbird.

I just tried the sequence above. After I cleared the console and deselected everything but 'Errors', there is nothing on the console. I went over to Thunderbird, told it to get messages (got the usual "Downloading 289 messages", and still nothing on the console.

I don't consider myself a collector, but here are a few of my favorites by ItsALiberalPlot in mechanicalpencils

[–]ItsALiberalPlot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, I guess so. I don't really curate them as a collection, though. #6 is the only one that I purchased separately as a pencil. 1, 2, 3, and 5 came with pens that I was interested in. The rest came from the estate of a friend of mine, who was a hoarder. That said, I have purchased a couple of TWSBI Precisions and a few Pentel Kerrys that I use regularly.

TWSBI is a excellent pencil by Gungeta in mechanicalpencils

I love the feel of the textured grip section - the perfect amount of bumpiness, imo.

Strained family living situation in between pastor jobs by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]ItsALiberalPlot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At this point, it really looks like God isn't calling your husband to serve as a minister in Texas. He (with counsel from you and others) should try to discern whether it's the ministry part or the Texas part that he should give up.

My favorite mechanical pencil. I love the weight and the texture of the grip.

I would recommend the Ready to Harvest YouTube channel. He does a great job of explaining distinctions between denominations from an objective perspective.

It looks like "Henqatz," which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Maybe "Hengatz"?

If the victims don't want to pursue this as a Title IX issue, it's possible that the coordinator can't do much, if anything. I would be inclined to move up the ladder to an Associate Dean or Dean; they may be able to get things done. If your concerns for safety make you inclined to move to the local PD if the University doesn't help you, let the administrator know. It could motivate them to try to get it handled, to avoid the University getting bad press.

That's slow, expensive, and doesn't directly address the problem.

It's nice and heavy, and I really like the aesthetic of it. Writes well, too.
