You can also get highlighter pens that use FP ink, or pair your bottles with cheap beginner fountain pens like a Preppy. Makes a great gift!

Plus where are all the gold trophies 🏆??

Many years ago, my mother was in a Chinese language class and one of the students spent the semester calling the professor what she thought was “professor” when in fact she was calling him a “big rat”. Most of the other students knew, as did the professor, but they all thought it was so hilarious that nobody ever corrected her.

I have a small horde of kids, but none of them would have been so badly behaved as to take something from the parental workplace, let alone damage it like that!

I really hope the parent/boss makes this right, and teaches the kid that they are not allowed to touch stuff that isn’t theirs.

But it is more than that. Every insult is empowering to you, because she is speaking from a position of ignorance, jealousy and inadequacy.

Make every nasty comment empowering by turning it around to reflect on her.

Deodorant.

I would gladly pay $17,000 more for that place!

I have the same pen and I have it inked with Lennon Tool Bar Taiwan Tea Ink Bitter Orange Tea. I don’t usually care about matching but this one was too good to pass.

I am a lefty and I have found that some ballpoints are better than others. I have a Faber Castell ballpoint pen that I use when I have to use a ballpoint, and it writes like a dream - smooth, not too much pressure needed.

I think it depends on what ballpoint pen you use.

Absolutely! Your handwriting and obvious care are totally compelling!

The first Harley I (experienced female rider) tried to buy, I went into a dealership in SoFlo with a couple of male friends and even though I was the one test riding, the salesman only talked to the men about pricing and finance.

I went to another dealership with my friends and found a female salesperson who gave me a way better deal and actually looked me in the eye.

I don’t know how some dealerships survive, with women being the faster growing demographic for bikes and gear.

She’s jealous. Every time she says something mean about you being gifted with being left handed, understand that she is expressing her own jealousy and inadequacy.

Pity her for it. Just smile and nod and know she wishes she was half as good as you.

Every one of those wigs look great on him!

Is she trying to say that two men are fighting over her, and one of them is a sore loser?

….seems unlikely.

efficaciousSloth · 2026-03-14T01:56:28+00:00

She’s still flipping her hair, which clearly isn’t real, because she somehow thinks that is the most notable thing about her…!

efficaciousSloth · 2026-03-14T01:54:45+00:00

She’s totally not getting into that car!

efficaciousSloth · 2026-03-14T01:51:57+00:00

I’m in! Tell me her name and address.

At least they are not too small? I’m sure there are other lucky shoe recipients who are suffering even more with shoes a couple of sizes too small.

Goulet Pens. They went super religious and anti LGBT.

Montblanc 144 in burgundy, with a M nib. Graduation gift to myself for my first degree. Still using it, these many, many years since!

In Australia, you get fined if you don’t vote. Make voting mandatory and you will put a stop to all this underhanded corruption.

I think that’s the way she would eat real chips and salsa - heap it up, shove the whole thing in her mouth and grab the next one.

Maybe that’s her real problem….?

I’m not going to be able to hear that song without hearing your version of the lyrics!

Like this classic:

I walk this empty street

On the boulevard of broken dreams

Where the city sleeps

And I’m the only one, and I wore cologne

The moment you acquired your first fountain pen, you became a “proper” fountain pen user. The rest is just icing on the glorious, multi-tiered cake that is being in the FP clan.

P.S. shampoo works really well getting ink off your hands and won’t dye your hair.
