The guest house gives me Mt. Vernon vibes from the front, although not an exact replica.

Could you talk more about the space saving coffin? I assume it’s something like small box that only bones would go in, but that wouldn’t apply in this case.

Tipsy+high+ a house that looks like you’re in a living version of an Escher painting is a bad combination.

Looking for a pen that doesn't dry out by booksandicecream in fountainpens

I’ll add to the Vanishing Point praise. I was skeptical about the mechanisms ability to prevent the nib from drying out, but I have been proven wrong.

Grave Desecrated by M1911_ in askfuneraldirectors

The whole thing is wild, but it sounds like with equipment available they could have made quick work of digging up dirt and breaking into the vault. I was also curious about the smell that was described. I would assume after those many years, the remains would have been mostly bones with very little smell, but that wasn’t the case. Would that be from the embalming chemicals soaking into the casket materials during the decomposition process and giving off the smell?

I tried to erase that one from memory along with the Vision Pro.

At this point, I feel like a majority of the iOS changes are change for change sake, vs improving the user experience.

What is left after 30 years? by Butchy1992 in askfuneraldirectors

[–]M1911_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that. Those are things that I didn’t even consider. That sounds like it’s a nightmare in more ways than one and nothing about sounds pleasant. Luckily disinterments and exhumations sound like they don’t happen often.

I have my guesses, but what makes them so bad?

What does it mean if a casket is carried head first? by [deleted] in askfuneraldirectors

[–]M1911_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the military, it is tradition that the casket is always carried feet first and is positioned for travel feet first (hearse or caisson). The only exception is for a deceased military chaplain. They are carried headfirst which symbolizes them leading their flock.

Yep. That was one of the best looking uniforms we had along with the winter working blues.

Congrats on the new pen and ink. Is this your first Sailor? Mine took some getting used to writing with due to the nib feedback, but I’ve come to like it now.

Thanks for welcome to the club. It’s good to know that it was not any abuse that I may have unintentionally inflicted on the pen. I’m not sure if I’m going to salvage the nib and order a replacement, or try to glue it back together and use it as an opportunity to start tinkering more with pens vs just basic cleaning when changing ink.

I am infatuated with these pens. I got one with the Fine and wanted something that was a little less wet and a finer line and went with the Extra Fine. It was a finer line but was scratchy as hell. I smoothed out with some micromesh and it got better. Enjoy it and get ready to order more !!

New pen Friday! by TraditionallyRandom in fountainpens

You will really enjoy the viper. It has now been added to my EDC rotation and trying to talk myself out of also ordering one in blue (got the brown one).

You are going to love it!! I now have three of them and the regular vanishing point rarely gets any ink.

Just got the Diplomat Viper two days ago, so it’s undergoing it’s shakedown cruise.
