Farewell


Kuscer

Recommended Posts

Hi all...

So, sadly, this is my final post. :crybaby: As some of you may know, my family has always moved a lot. Now we're relocating to Finland where my grandparents and uncles and aunts live. There is no computer at their house so I will not be able to access the network.

Since this is my final post, I just wanted all of you to know how much I will miss you guys. Your advice has helped me realize how big a part of my life fountain pens are. I really appreciate how nice all of you have been to me and I will miss all the great friends I've made here. I will never forget the FPN :)

Farewell.

Sincerely,

Virginia

Dear Virginia

 

It would be sad to lose you, but don't you have or can't you buy yourself a laptop/notebook/Ipad so that you can access the internet?

 

A day to day life without a computer seems unthinkable in this day and age. :yikes:

Goodluck with your move and I am sure you will pop up in here again at some point.

Welcome to Finland!

 

You can always use a computer for free on public library with the city's library card in almost all cities.

Yep, what j.a.j. said. Libraries are your friend. :) I hope that you have a good move and that you do after all have access to a computer. Bon Voyage!

Welcome to Finland or Tervetuloa Suomeen in Finnish. I'm sure you won't be without internet for too long. Libraries are really good and you can also get prepaid internet access for your phone or tablet. Can I ask which part of the country you're moving to?

Hello, (no, I guess that is Goodbye), Virginia,

 

So long. :crybaby:

 

I feel a lot like this poor cow:

When I travel in Europe I notice that internet cafes are still very common. Even in small towns. Don't give up.

We will miss you. Pop in when you can. Internet cafe, public library, wherever.

I don't respond to many of the posts on here, but I want to send good wishes for your move. While I don't know the circumstances, I'd love the opportunity to see and immerse myself in as much of the world as you have already.

 

Perhaps you could find a pen pal or two before you're offline too long, sort of an old-school forum :) (I'd volunteer my daughter)

All the very best to you and your family, Virginia. I hope the move goes smoothly for you and you enjoy your new home. I also hope that you will remember us so that when you do get back on the internet you will rejoin us. Looking forward to the best of the future and I wish you the very best of all.

Good luck with your move.

 

I hope you can find free internet access somewhere. My local library has computers with internet access. All you need is a library card to use them.

good luck with the move

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
