Wow I am both proud and terrified that this [in addition to floppy disks] came to my mind. I just couldn’t remember CED just needlevision.

Omg lol. I remember flying home probably for winter break suddenly remembering I left my rice cooker full of already turning fried rice, in the dorms where I couldn’t even get someone to throw it out for me.

Even across town. I remember being privileged enough to be able to take several hours off my remote work job to drive to a fairly distant [poorer] part of town to get my first shot—the first place I could get an appointment when I became eligible.

My dog was only around 3 when I met her at the shelter. She was an underweight terrified stray that had just had her 3 puppies adopted out. We had the greatest 13 years together.

I still buy CDs [and Blurays] but I don’t conveniently have a way to use either. My computer I used for ripping CDs died and I haven’t set up new computer to rip. And of course my car doesn’t have a CD player…

Climate change, covid, bird flu it’s almost like it’s a societal issue.

I had a conservative coworker who I used as a GOP barometer. He never saw the value of soft power. He was all about the bigger stick.

I had a Catholic coworker-friend who I used to use as a conservative barometer. I once out of frustration asked him my Repubs seemed to think empathy was a bad thing. He went and found a study that said nations with more independent people had less empathy. Then proudly stated he had no empathy.

lol it’s a short trip there. If for nothing else than tuning/fixing nubs for you. I really want an architect grind and I like my cursive smooth italic [after hating most stubs.]

I feel like I write more naturally with the pen at a much lower angle which just doesn’t work with a ballpoint/rollerball this seems to keep it more comfortable for me as well.

My experience was not horrible, but that said as soon as someone said “brain zaps” I knew exactly what they were talking about.

Omg. Closest I’ve come is biting into a peach and finding the pit cracked so I poked at it and something came scurrying out. There was much yelling and cussing.

Severed Dreams is among my favorite drama ever.

I’m sorry, that’s happened to me. I can’t remember if my formulary changed [or maybe work changed insurance?] I don’t remember but yup the sticker shock of when the pharmacist says 4.85 and you go okay only to see $485.00.

I’m not [primarily] taking it for weight loss either but yeah it really put a dent in Thanksgiving.

Hi, are you trying to clean a con-70? They become very easy to clean if you squirt up the tube with a blunt syringe. If you can find a syringe with a needle that fits over the tube even better. I don’t think I have ever cleaned a con-40 but I assume it’s like any other twist converter?

Save it for later. When you have used all the other notebooks. 😁

I would think about it as trying out different paper/notebooks until you find one you like. I would consider getting a few different ones.

To write more than a paragraph or so unscrew the back and it’ll let ink out to the feed and nib.
