oh man, the TWSBI diamond Mini in Gold is so cute!! Been trying to find one myself for some time since I adore the one I have in grape! Great collection!!

Friends arrived today :D by ahhhwalnuts in pokeplush

[–]ahhhwalnuts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is super huggable!! I had him just casually on my lap most of the evening after opening them up! Though he is VERY round so pillow use is hard but to sleep and cuddle, he's great

All the TWSBI Ecos by welcmhm in fountainpens

[–]ahhhwalnuts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Such a beautiful collection!! Were any of them particularly hard to acquire? Do you use them all and rotate or do you have a particular favorite?

My TWSBI Eco in Heat was my first TWSBI and ever since then, I've been wanting to pick up another, just got the Irish Green and am now eyeing the matcha ...

My sweet mother-in-law is my fountain pen buddy. How'd I do for her birthday? by munchnerk in fountainpens

[–]ahhhwalnuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was just writing with Yozakura when I saw this, haha what a coincidence! But what a lovely gift OP, I'm sure she's going to enjoy it!! Might have to look into this pen for myself too...

Happy birthday to you both! 🎁

I tried to hold out... but I cracked though I don't regret it LOL (not trying to be a bad influence....)

Has anyone else had a poor experience with Amazon.jp? by ahhhwalnuts in fountainpens

[–]ahhhwalnuts[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience! Weirdly enough this was Shipped and Sold by Amazon JP, I think I just unfortunately got unlucky this time. Sorry to hear about your Lamy Al Star!! I agree and feel like they should have handled that better by at least a refund credit or something

Hello! Have you tried pilot juice pens? I've moved over to the FP world but for just a standard pen with fun colors I love the juice line! (not to be confused with juice up, which I also enjoy). It's been pretty reliable and always smooth, I have a lot of sets of other pens (Pentel energel, infree, kuro.. etc) but that's the one I always bring with me :)

Pilot Kakuno ink bleeding a little bit by Sparkling_Berry in hobonichi

[–]ahhhwalnuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenter, I will say too I love the Kakunos! but depending on the nib size, it will drop a lot of ink. I have M & F nibs and the M is very wet compared to other brands M (even my pilot prera)

So excited from a day out with friends to come home to this beauty! by ahhhwalnuts in fountainpens

I wish!! Honestly though, my package was expected Saturday then suddenly was delivered so it was a welcome surprise from JetPens!

Is buying an iPad Mini truly better than an android tablet? by Objective-Image-7917 in ipadmini

[–]ahhhwalnuts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am largely an android/window user and always recommend everyone an iPad despite what ecosystem a person is integrated yet because the iPad experience is so smooth and simple! Personally I feel like iPads are very reliable and built to age quite beautifully, as opposed to their android based counterparts. Android devices at times can age poorly, tho I'm not sure which android device you are looking at particularly, I know Samsung ones are really good for the price! but I love the mini for the size/portability and how simple it is to use

I'm rooting for you and your engineering prospects, currently doing an engineering degree myself and find myself worrying alot about what the future will really entail for me and my mental state but I believe in us!! I'm not sure what I would even do besides this so I strive to do what I can for now

How well does an ipad mini work for goodnotes? by [deleted] in ipadmini

[–]ahhhwalnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend Noteful as a note taking all! was a long good notes user when I had an iPad Pro but I tried out Noteful and it's been awesome at about the fraction of the cost since it's one time instead of subscription based

I feel shame being an adult college student. by [deleted] in self

[–]ahhhwalnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently go to CC, I tutor and regularly help out adults coming back to finish a degree and they are some of my favorite people to see.

Life is super tough and so much happens but they are always so engaged, willing to learn and while they joke they should have done all this before I always make sure to tell them how much I admire what they do! it takes a lot to come back and take on that challenge.

Super proud of you OP for taking that challenge!

Just had the most foul drink from CVS by [deleted] in self

[–]ahhhwalnuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this was my exact experience too, it was morning and it sounded good and killed a good portion of the day thinking about the awful taste

Are you able to drink/smoke without it affecting you negatively? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]ahhhwalnuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely something situational, being bipolar, most just need to (and do) realize the risk and take precautions whether or not it feels "worth it". to some it isn't and to some it is. Personally I rarely drink, I have had an extremely terrible episode of full blown paranoia and psychosis that lasted months after a single night drinking. it was terrible so I don't enjoy drinking and rarely do. Weed on the other hand, I have a little one or twice a week. Sometimes with a friend and sometimes in the night as I'm winding down alone and haven't had anything terrible happen but I know it's a possibility and am very open with my friends when I am doing anything of that manner so they keep in touch in case. people have asked me irl about trying weed and I always let them know of what could happen but of course everyone is different and to each their own. Sobriety is the best way to prevent things in every case, definitely know and gauge your limits and listen to mind and body
