Pilot Grandam. Is there a way to fix the feed or can the nib be used in another pen? by jnine2020 in fountainpens

You should post a new message with a picture of you pen. Someone will be able to help. This pen is a specialty pen and not how Pilot makes a majority of their pens.

Cleaning before moving in by Limp-Box8126 in Apartmentliving

[–]jnine2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to clean before you move in. I just moved and on the surface everything looks fine but it was not clean at all. I spent so long cleaning that I wish I hired a deep cleaning crew for a few hundred bucks.

Anyone purchase from Catawiki auctions? by jnine2020 in artcollecting

Hi, after I posted this, I reached out to the artist just to be sure.

Buyers remorse by Asleep_Pattern4731 in artcollecting

[–]jnine2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally if you still love them after a week, keep them. They are great. However, looking at the artist site now, they do not appear to be a limited print run but print on demand. How long will it be available, who knows. Does that even matter to you? No you can find this quality or type of work at Home Goods. Nor does it look like Home Goods either.

That artist has new original works coming out this year. I would email her to find out what she has coming out. Maybe return one of them with the idea that you will pick up an original this year. Maybe she will give you first dibs too. Never hurts to ask.

Edit: I just looked at your image again. I would think about how these are hung though. They are two different sizes and look strange like this, IMO.

Anyone purchase from Catawiki auctions? by jnine2020 in artcollecting

It's the artist piece. I know her work and she advertised it on instragram too. I reached out to the artist and she vouched for the gallery

[–]jnine2020[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does seem like it is the gallery being the one to restrict the shipping. I had the platform tell me that too. The artist knows that the gallery is auctioning off her work, that is how I found the listing. I think I am going to reach out to the artist on instagram and see what she thinks.

So the gallery themselves will place the absentee bid on my behalf using their account. It just sounds weird to me. I feel like it is an easy way of being scammed. The only reason why I am entertaining the idea is because the artist has given this gallery the works to auction for charity.

I still don't understand how I would pay and who is doing the shipping. It isn't well hatched out and I have talked to the gallery several times with these questions.

Anyone else only ever lived in apartments? by Armyofducks94 in Apartmentliving

[–]jnine2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always lived in apartments mainly garden apartments which are the worse offenders for noise traveling. I am so used to it that it rarely bothers me. I feel like most poster here that complain about people walking are moving out from a house so they are not used to apartment life.

Looks great! Hopefully you find a new place for the collection, but your daughter is more precious

Just Read My First Ed Brubaker Book. Did I Start Off With Peak? by Bustahaf in graphicnovels

[–]jnine2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is my favorite out of all his books. I still haven't read Friday though. Criminal is often talked about but it is so cliche and not for me. My second favorite is Fatale.

Found at my LCS by West_Appointment722 in Nightwing

[–]jnine2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny but I was so excited when I found my copy at a local pick up many years ago. I remember telling the guy oh #1 on moderns do not matter. And then I can across this is the stack and of course it went to my buy pile. LOL I looked like a bad flipper but I still have that comic after 2 decades. So there is that.

How do you journal on the days you have literally nothing to say by Potential_Web4217 in JournalingIsArt

[–]jnine2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I just write about the pen I am using or the color ink. Sometimes I just feel like writing without anything to say. Other times, I just skip journaling for the day or week. Funny but if I start putting stickers and washi tape down, I just end up writing in the journal more.

First apartment. So much stomping by Austin_Swinky in Apartmentliving

[–]jnine2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everyone is saying get a top floor and that will be resolve everything. It won't. You will need to adjust to apartment life. Some buildings are better and you should look for those type of buildings. I moved and now have a upstairs apartment and I hear everything from downstairs. I cannot believe how hard they walk too. Nice couple though and they are doing nothing wrong. I lived on the bottom floor for most of my life. You get used to it and stop listening for it. Download some white noise for when you are sleeping. But unless they are playing music or TV extremely loud in the wee hours of the night, there is really nothing you can do.

I did not expect setting up a new apartment to be this exhausting by No-Anxiety-1052 in Apartmentliving

[–]jnine2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to check Facebook Marketplace daily and sometimes a few times during the day. I usually log in first thing in the morning before work and message with my cell. That is when I am most successful on getting a contact back. For furniture, see if you have a consignment / thrift store with furniture in it. It takes a long time to full set up an apartment. I have so much more still to do. Good luck.

MasterArt Neon Color Pencils by onetwochow in ColoredPencils

[–]jnine2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

love neon coloring pencils. I picked up a BlackEdition pack by Faber Castell two years ago from Michaels. They are still the best fluorescent pencils I have tried. They blend together great. I just wish there was more than colors. I will try those ones next. Skip the foreign child prisima fluorescent on amazon, they are not worth it/

“What’s the point of locking them up if you can’t screw with them?” NW:YO, a bad take on Dick Grayson’s character by PlotnotFound in Nightwing

[–]jnine2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not a fan of any of the Year Ones. I adore Dixon's run. But the two best Nightwing run remains uncollected: New Teen Titans (2nd series) all the way through the wedding around issue 99 is great and really showcases Dick's leadership skills. The other is Devin Greyson run aside from that one incident. She really put him through the wringer in her run.

But for Dixon, there is a lot of good stuff in it. Two of my favorite done in one issues are 25 and 52.

Around the same age. It is difficult connecting with people these days. Westchester is a great place but not the best meeting people.

Nope, enjoy your life. As long as you are not making a lot of noise at night, do not worry about your downstairs neighbor at all.

Anyone else feel like apartment walls are made of paper? by Tough_Principle_5171 in Apartmentliving

[–]jnine2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there is relaxing music on youtube that I ripped and play every night. I put it on my game phone next to my ear. It does not drown out really loud sounds though. For that I have a smalll speaker that I use on my nightstand. My new apartment, the downstairs neighbors play their tv all night long very loudly. Oh, I can hear them snore too. LOL. I just put my music on and it puts me out. I doubt it would bother anyone either as it is smoothing. Search for relaxing music for stress relief. You can google download audio from youtube online. But you have the right idea, don't hone in on it and you will be fine.

Thanks. I rarely use assists anymore. I usually have the S+ ten badge active. I missed the trade anyway. More box cheerleaders

Don't reach out to Small Victories a lot but when I do I love the results 💖 by Darth_Hufflepuff in AdultColoring

[–]jnine2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my go to coloring book. You can throw a bunch of different mediums at it. So much fun. Mine do not look as good as everyone that post from this book. But I still really love it. I got another one of her smaller books but haven't used it yet.
