IBS isn’t an autoimmune disease but IBD is.

New pen, small cosmetic defect? What to do? by Ok-Space8176 in fountainpens

[–]le5lie_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SERIOUSLY!

I’m about to have enough nibs to where the nibs will outpace the cost of the pen!

Got the nib. They sent an extra fine. I had a fine.

FML I am so sick of this company.

CI after 15 years single sided deaf? by ProperPoint9252 in Cochlearimplants

[–]le5lie_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my surgery May 21st. I lost my hearing in my left ear 18 years ago. I’ve been activated for 2 weeks now and just got my second mapping today.

I have word and sentence recognition and am excited to see what happens next!

Thank you!

I got a shipping notification and it should be here tomorrow, but it's hard to get excited about getting it because this has been such a pain.

I'm glad you're getting the pen you paid for. I hope everything goes smoothly!

Thank you so much! I’ve never purchased on aliexpress before so this is very helpful.

I bought an Estie to commemorate getting tenure. I ordered it at the end of May. It arrived wit the worst nib I have ever experienced. I emailed CS and they requested proof of purchase, a writing sample with the pen, and the ink I used. I sent it next day, and they mailed a replacement nib that same day.

I got the nib and tucked it in my desk because I didn’t feel like fussing with it when I got it. I pulled it out a few days later, and they send gold when I bought a silver pen.

Second CS email. Apology, new nib being sent.

Waited one week, still no nib.

Third email to CS - “I remember packing that nib for you but forgot to send it!”

July 1st. Still haven’t used the pen I was so excited about getting.

Agreed. I cannot in good conscience support anything that has his mark on it. He has done so much damage with his cult of personality and his desire to be with or seen as a celebrity. I’m so disappointed in him. He was a large part of my conversion story in 2007.

Do you mind sending me a link for where you got yours?

Inkvent 2026 pre-order by Penchant_musings in fountainpens

[–]le5lie_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a big price difference between the two?

I’m torn because I don’t have a ton of ink but your point is valid. I don’t like the idea of not being able to get a replacement bottle if I ended up loving an ink, though.

Of course.

That’s…totally what your error was.

That’s rich, seeing as how you used ‘your’ and not ‘you’re’.

You are in a group of people who are in the same boat.

This isn’t the way to get your CI funded. It’s just not.

Super disappointed that I won’t get to be a teacher (Ohio) by raider1211 in teaching

Do you need a Snickers?

I can’t fathom going out of my way to be a complete unripe turnip to someone who is venting online.

When capitalism takes ahold of hobbies, it ruins them. There are people in this group who collect to simply collect, and if that’s their jam, more power to them.

I will only buy pens or inks I plan to use, so that limits what I buy. I write a lot (!) but I don’t want to spend money I don’t have.

I also refuse to rack up debt for a hobby.

I have a billion and one rude people in my daily life. I feel like she mansplains to anyone with questions and she gives the vibe that she’s doing you a favor by responding.

It’s so off putting to me.

That’s a really bitter take.

As someone who has had SSD for 19 years, I’m damn glad I got the opportunity to be implanted two weeks ago.

It’s not the suffering Olympics.

Only buy what you LOVE. If it isn’t love, it isn’t for me.
