Naturally.

Which came first?

I feel badly for people too, being endowed with way too much empathy for easy living in a cruel world. :) However, on an intellectual and...

A letter from Pennsylvania took nine days to come here. About normal.

I used to enjoy slanted school desks, and I am also thinking of making a “poor man’s” slanted surface to see if the allure still holds. Perhaps a...

Things are looking up. Two postcards, one from the same town as above in the next county (50 mi/80km) and the other from New York City (200mi/320km)...

How about this stamp that was sent by a pen friend? And which side is UP?

Esterbrook was a maniacal genius. He skipped those few letters until later so completist collectors could could debate why and OCD sorters would...

jar mentionned in the chatbox the following: "the image is on a prototype Sheaffer NoNonsense pen. The cal has a covered compartment with a self...

Thanks for the info on quills. I tried it with iron gall/ walnut and some other "antique" dip pen inks and it took me sometime to get used to it......

Google Lens is a wonderful thing...

I'm so pleased it all worked out for you - vintage pens ae fantastic to use, but there's something even more special when there's a real connection...

Agreed. Hang in there. I am a teacher, and a younger colleague (different department) tested positive a week ago, and has now declined and been...

I could change too, except I don't like Kool-Aid and I prefer to think for myself.

Batter-based? A waffle?

Just asking a question, no need to act like a dick about it. RIT Safety Data Sheet for those who are interested.

I have to say I'm quite excited about making the trek from Reading to London again...

no but i want one

It's not easy to get an appointment. My parents got theirs after trying for quite a number of days. At first, it was by desktop computer. But the...

What's the context?

My phone is on 14.4 too. I also find that Firefox (on Linux) works just fine

The odd thing is that I didn't have any problems, at all, with Firefox on my laptop. The iPad Os I'm using is something like 14.4.

Thank you! To me, it writes exactly like the Sailor 252. Right in the middle of dry/wet. Fairly decent shading, and some cool colors. Sent from...
