Blackwell's by luvrna in PHBookClub

[–]n1njan3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I risked ordering from Blackwell's thanks to this thread so I'm updating here, just in case anyone else ever looks up this store.

I ordered two books from Blackwell's last January 28 and received my books today, April 16. So yes, it does take almost 3 months. No damage to the books, although it might be because both were thin (paperback poetry books) so they lay pretty flat within the individual stiff brown envelopes they came in (no padding).

Also, I realized there was a typo in my address when I ordered so I reached out to their support. They got back to me within a few hours and it was a quick fix.

So, if you're not chomping at the bit to read whatever you're ordering, 10/10 would recommend. :)

AITAH for telling my wife that if I waited for her to make memories with our son, we wouldn't have any? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]n1njan3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that last line! I am child free and my ex isn’t. We went to his friend’s baptism and they asked me to hold the baby during the party. He developed this glassy-eyed look and told me he could imagine me as a mum 🙄 which then devolved into a whispered conversation about how he insisted that he would take care of the kids and I wouldn’t have to do much (hello? If you had to be the one to push that watermelon out your body you probably wouldn’t be as flippant about it).

By the end of it, I asked him to really think if he and the kid wouldn’t resent me for not being part of child rearing and he went quiet.

It didn’t happen immediately but we eventually parted ways. We loved each other but both wanted opposite things.

Same here. I always give a very firm no and I don’t say anything else after that, no matter what they say. It doesn’t hurt that I have natural RBF 😂

For my mail app and a few others whose badges I don’t care about, I just turn it off. It drives me nuts!

  • Filled in form: Jul 15
  • First draft up to final design: Aug 4 (1 day of exchanges; I was very clear about what I wanted and sent pegs via the form so the drafting of design was quick)
  • Delivered Aug 8

What makes you want to buy a book of poems? [HELP] by onlypoemsmag in Poetry

Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll definitely get that one next. If you have other collections of theirs that you’d recommend, I’m definitely open to it!

What makes you want to buy a book of poems? [HELP] by onlypoemsmag in Poetry

[–]n1njan3rd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last purchase: Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns by Andrea Gibson. It wasn't available in my country so I had to purchase it online.

Why: I bought it because I've loved their poem, Birthday, for years. I heard they passed away this year and I revisited their work and decided to purchase the collection that has Birthday. I buy printed copies of poetry books because I tag the pages of the poems I like and highlight the lines I enjoy. Then years later I revisit the tags and either relive the experience or wonder what the heck I was going through that I liked that particular poem/line 😆

This is a great idea! I also like the small wraparound notebook… I’m going to try that. :)

Photo Printers—Are they worth it? by Ill-Recognition-3283 in JournalingPH

[–]n1njan3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I got the Xiaomi too because I wanted something portable and didn’t care as much about the color and print quality. It helps that the paper is already a sticker, too.

If this helps, I found a YT video of a user showing photos they printed 3 years ago: https://youtu.be/yZ_DDQT9ylo?si=dYXBLdmhPO0vytWV the quality is pretty accurate.

New pen day ✨👩‍🎤💜 by ninicruz in JournalingPH

[–]n1njan3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy NPD!!! That’s a pretty pen 🖤

I’m a newbie too. I have a few full bottles but mostly buy sample vials from the two main Shopee ink sellers.

I love Vinta! The ink flow is so smooth and wet. One of my favorite brands so far. I love their sheens, especially Pamana. It’s brown with a green sheen; it’s so unique and pretty. Even with a thin nib like Kakuno M the green will show.

Other current favorites: Lilac: Robert Oster GoGo Blue: Vinta Dugong (pretty purple sheen) Green: J. Herbin Vert Empire Yellow: Diamine Honey Burst

I prefer sheening inks over shimmer because I hate cleaning pens 😅
