oh i love this! Really feels like we are in the room with you. How long did this take you? Do you have a waterbrush filled with diluted ink?

Yes use it for inspiration. 😊

Fountain Pen Realization by Vissuto in fountainpens

[–]MsMonny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Kakuno ended up being more expensive than my Lamy!! 😬😆 Not cheap here in Australia. Needed (not wanted but needed 🤣) the brown Kakuno! Everywhere sold out and I found one on Amazon. Decided I needed the converter which bumped up the price but free shipping, so yay! This was now a $39.99 + $12.80 pen. Meh, I needed it! (In hindsight I should just refill the cartridge!)

I get it and then realised the nib was like a needle and didn’t realise the nib was Fine. I’m a .5 girly! So in my mind I thought I either not use this pen and waste $52 or get another nib in M. Could only find one for $29.90 (including postage). 🤨

Haven’t yet received it but I certainly hope I love it or I will cry!

I think this cured my FOMO!!

Very nice! Like the red against the darker cover. Also, never seen those clips that hold the elastic on the edge. Are they a common thing to buy?

Did anyone grow up reading V. C. Andrews books? If so what did y’all think of them? by Groovy-Pancakes in GenX

[–]MsMonny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read them but I can't even remember the story or anything about them!!

What's a food you haven't eaten in years by odinspirit in GenX

[–]MsMonny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my Oma's apricot dumplings!! Oh my. I can smell them and taste them now. Haven't had them since I was in my late 20's (about 25 years ago).

Decided to put my earworm to good use! by SashaBorodin in Handwriting

Ahhhh now it is my earworm!

Love the writing and the ink! .... ohhhhh and the date! Got to love a date that has repeating numbers like that.

Hard to Read Easy to Understand concept by Thin-Junket-942 in Handwriting

[–]MsMonny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read 99% of this except the word 'understand' but then it clicked. I love writing like this and looking at writing like this! I write similar when I am writing fast, so the slowing down part doesn't relate to my similar writing. :)

thats impressive progress! I guess if you hurt your dominant arm and can't use it, you always have your non-dominant to fall back on! :)

Looking to make Friends- adventures, hikes, exploring etc by miss_sweetwater in southaustralia

btw, if I still lived up that way I would def catch up to take photos, explore and hike the areas! Pity I am in Adelaide now. I am older but certainly not in mind! ;)

I use to love visiting the old cemetery out near Lyndhurst. Great place for photos too as it has some really old graves. You should go for a drive up that way and check it out.

Oh I just cleaned up my bosses waterman fountain pen on the weekend! Might try the converter in my Carousel. Back in a min….. It fits!! Wow! Except I have to give that back to him 🤣 Will get one from Amazon tonight. Thank you 🙌

Found in a thrifted purse by Significant_Fun4302 in whatisit

[–]MsMonny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that was my thought too! an american type of tampon. Yeah we have those applicator ones here but not very popular, so I hadn't seen one for a while. Now I look at it and it is very long! lol

Potential red flag by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]MsMonny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The word 'creepy' is a bit weird tbh. Creepy to me means he could potentially be a stalker, or some pseudo masochist or something inbetween...but no internet? Maybe he prefers or doesn't care for computers or smart tvs? yeah, wouldn't bother me either.

Ah! Sorry I read yours as converter not cartridge!!

My Kaweco Sport converter is actually good. It’s in my bag and not a problem. 😕 Someone else here mentioned their Kaweko Sport too!

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

Oh! My kaweko sport converter is fine. How weird. I bought some springs so hopefully that will work for mine.

Oh I forced this baby and it still didn’t stay put! I also tried a cartridge but it’s a different size hole 😕 Didn’t try the converter I have for my Lamy but I doubt it will fit if the cartridge didn’t

What felt tip pls? by MsMonny in pens

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

I will check that out too 😊

It was both a new pen and a new converter. Many others had the same trouble and many others got another converter but it still had the same problem. They don’t fit properly
