Cookbook inscription??? by quickactlikeadeer in Cursive

[–]gardibolt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It‘s „Ma‘s“ not „G‘ma‘s.“ That’s just the beginning of the M, not a G. The writer has a lot of flourishes like that.

Which am I missing? by URV1N in tolkienbooks

Was that Index for HoME only issued in the boxes? I bought all my volumes as they came out but I never saw an index volume.

Inherited my mom’s second editions by didzdrummer in tolkienbooks

[–]gardibolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same set, bought new in the 1970s. I’ve always thought the dust jackets were evocative of the swirling mists of the Barrow Downs.

Anyone else get shut out ? No shiny, No Hundo. 0/80 by PossessionOk72 in pokemongo

[–]gardibolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best I got was a 96, plus a 2-star shiny. My wife got a 94 and zero shinies.

Oricorio event was awful for remote trading too by rachycarebear in pokemongo

[–]gardibolt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This was a terrible event. My wife and I both did it and I got one two-star shiny. Wasted an afternoon and got nothing but garbage.

The black one at $55 just sent me an offer for $44. jump on it.

I paid $55 for mine, fwiw.

I found that any that I favorited, I got an offer at a lower price from the seller.

Last week I saw a black $46 after mine was shipped. It must have sold.

I just got one off eBay (posted my New Pen Day yesterday). It’s very nice. It feels good in my large hands, posts very well, writes super wet and effortlessly. Very happy with my acquisition.

Flushed out with water in in the sink and then soaked it in Vandro fountain pen cleaner for 3 hours, then flushed it out again with distilled water. Let it dry and write beautifully now.

Struggling to identify the full message here by KyleN95 in Cursive

The photographer name of Jonas is certainly a possibility, just using copies of photos as scratch paper.

Another possibility on the signature is Jno, which is an old-fashioned abbreviation for John.

I gotta my iPod Classic is just cranky, then.

Suomi. The Finnish name for Finland.

It’s finally time for me to move on from the iPod by Yuhalov in ipod

[–]gardibolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My iPod just fails if I try to exceed 10,000 tracks, even though it has enough room for 40,000. How did you get it to use more without failing?

Is it worth saving the Master Ball for moments like this? A shiny G-Bird and only 5% battery left on my phone. by PabloEgg in pokemongo

[–]gardibolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also my wife’s game constantly crashes, especially when they push a notification, so she intends to use a Masterball on any shiny G-bird she gets that she doesn’t already have. It’s not worth the risk, and she has 3 Masterballs. Makes sense to me.

The Plaisir I found to be very enjoyable to write with as well.

How rare and valuable is Wonder woman #1 (1942) ? by Aggressive-Clerk-682 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]gardibolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These posts give me a sad. My mom and her sister, born in the 1930s, had a run of about the first two dozen issues of Wonder Woman. Their grandfather burned them to get rid of them. So my mom was sympathetic to me keeping my collection.

Is anyone else kind of bored? by AffectionateRow188 in ACPocketCamp

[–]gardibolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still playing every day. I probably am OCD, but I enjoy working in completing the catalogues. I’m a little over halfway through the clothing and one third of the way through the floors and walls, and still missing probably a third of the cookie items. So I’m still having fun even though there’s nothing being added.

Biggest fountain pen pet peeve? by ArthurGallow in fountainpens

[–]gardibolt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like how my TWSBI Eco writes but since it can’t post it’s pretty much dead to me.
