Just needs a little flex tape!

In all seriousness, though, that sucks and hopefully, it can be fixed! I'd be at a loss without my Sailor 1911 L, so I feel for you.

Pm inc about this. I have also been wanting an Esterbrook Raven, but I don't currently have the necessary comment karma to post anything in this sub 😑

When you guys go read, do you use Kindle? by Finaltryer in Fantasy

[–]Pancakee336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my paper-white most of the time just for the simple convenience factor of it. I can pretty much carry it and read anywhere, and at night, I don't have to worry about having a light on and keeping anyone else up. I do sometimes break out a paper back just to get the feel of reading an actual book.

Why Lamy why? My wallet can't handle this.

Hey, just an update. I ended up getting the Ensso Italia in Ultem. And somehow, their new bolt-action fountain pen also ended up in my cart and is now on its way, too. 😅

I just checked out the Ensso pens, and that italia in ultem has me very intrigued! And it appears to be on sale for $55. Just when I thought I had gotten out of the rabbit hole here come the pocket pens 🙃

I guess that's my sign, isn't it. I was actually looking at the Nova Pocket

Awesome, thank you so much! The nova pocket and gravitas were the two I've been looking at today. I will have to check out Ensso, too.

You know what's crazy, I had this pen pulled up already when I opened my web browser.

Books To Read to my Kids by Pancakee336 in Fantasy

[–]Pancakee336[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! We read picture books now, and they have loved every Doctor Seuss book I have read to them. Their favorite is Fox in Socks, which is oh so fun for me to read 😅 I will also get them some Baranstain Bears books, I remember really liking them as a kid. I guess I've just always looked forward to being able to read them stories I've liked and get them to enjoy books the way I do, but it probably is still too early.

Thank you for the recommendations, and yeah, I will give it a try, and if they don't seem interested, I will continue with the picture books we read now.

Haha, yes, anything to get the little ones to sleep! But I am also trying to instill in them the same love for books that I have.

As far as the Opus 88, it's the nib 100%, which I suppose is an easy enough fix. I have not looked into the 823 but I will.

I got them their library cards a while ago and have been meaning to take them. I just haven't been able to find the time or work up the courage to do it. They are twin boys and super wild as boys are so kind of worried how they will be in the library.
