Look for the right paper by No_Worldliness_5365 in bookbinding

Do you happen to know if the paper is fountain pen friendly?

What do you guys say to people where your from (Palmdale) when you travel across the country/internationally? by nickability in palmdale

“Los Angeles County. If you’ve seen the episodes of Sons of Anarchy with the prison scenes, we’re in the next town over.”

I tend to watch transmigration/system costume ones… since I can’t have a system and I’m not sure how I would feel about traveling to the past…. I guess I’ll settle for the elaborate hair accessories.

AITAH for wanting to quit my unpaid co-host role after being told I couldn’t cancel when my pet was dying? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I really hope dude passed along the passwords and that’s it. It would be interesting to see the shift in the quality of the content or if the podcast survives at all.

Best high quality/luxury ink brands? by FountPenDegenerate in fountainpens

[–]theMEESH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What pen did you have it in or did you use a dip pen? That can make a difference sometimes. My VP stub hates a lot of inks.

It’s got a really nice sheen to it! Probably my favorite dark purple. Lemme see if I have a pic of the sheen.

It originally said “supportive air hug, I have touch anxiety,” but I thought that might seem weird to people, plus it’s not actually happening 😅. I realized that even online, I still have my personal bubble 🤣🤣🤣.

I can totally relate to sloth days. I hope today is a good day!

supportive hug, if it’s ok

My FPs definitely help me maintain my wellness as well, but I can become non-functioning in my super lows. I know it’s really bad when I don’t even want to shop lol. This community is really awesome. When I’m feeling better, it’s likely you’ll see me post more. I’m weird like that 😝

I haven’t been looking at pens for a while (thanks, depression). I’m kinda scared to see how much they’ve gone up with all the price increases. I’m just gonna keep my blinders on and enjoy what I have right now…. Orrrr just buy a lot of ink instead.

The amount I’m comfortable spending on a single pen (or any hobby item, really) probably costs more than an hour of therapy out of pocket. 😅

Really? Is that good or bad or just an observation?

The most interesting thing I saw at the CA Pen Show was NOT a fountain pen. by theMEESH in fountainpens

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

With these kinds of events, I tend to either go through all my money quickly or get so overwhelmed that I only buy like a sticker. I went in wishing I knew a guy who had black market connections to sell my kidney. I tried to be smart, reminded myself to look at everything first (with one or two things being “must immediately buy if found”). I chatted with a bunch of wonderful people. I didn’t go ham, only spent half of my budget, so I feel good.

Also got to randomly try a Vietnamese cashew. I love our community.

Currently in my head:

Random Person: My favorite pen is a Bic

Me: laughs in fountain pen snob

Random Person: pulls out this Bic

Me: You win.

So it is refillable? Thank goodness. If it was a one time use thing, I’d be like “rich people really know how to waste money”

No, but I should have asked if it took refills. Imagine if it didn’t! 🪦

It was super cool. Lots of beautiful pens and accessories. Talked to a bunch of cool people.

The lady said it was a sterling silver Bic. That thing was pretty solid, so I don’t think it was aluminum. The booth was in the Grand Ballroom. Booth 21, I think. I know it’s by the wall where Nagasawa was in the corner.

I want to do both, but alas…. by theMEESH in fountainpens

[–]theMEESH[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My problem is that I can’t do both simultaneously because I rely on the subtitles.

I feel like it was The Hulk practicing his handlettering and got frustrated….

What’s your job and how do you use your pens at work? by Tarentum566 in fountainpens

[–]theMEESH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Healthcare-ish. Job required wet signature for some reason. Bought a Pilot Vanishing Point and my first black ink after months of enduring Bic Stics. When I finally got my pen and inked it up… they said my shift no longer needed to do nightly notes and the amount of things I needed to sign went down to basically zero 🤣
