Good Morning Folks

Recommended Posts

I have obviously been here before because my username was recognized, but I'm sure it has been a very very long time. Hopefully some of you will recognize my username (as I recognize some I see here in the postings).

 

So I just want to say hello again and reacquaint myself with everyone.

 

I'm glad to see this forum has been so successful!

Hi Elaine,

You are not one of those that I remember from years past (and please excuse my memory if I should), but based on the username I have here, this is the evolution of its predecessor the Wandering Snail (or creeping Turtle or whatever it was that was originally started in Chicago a few years ago). I hardly remember anyone's names (Shame on me), but I do recognize some of the usernames (as I said before) as I scroll through the messages. I was a moderator back on that Snail forum before the founding sailor moved to Italy (what WAS his name anyway). Interestingly I don't see a username that looks like his anywhere.

 

Back in those "old" days we had started a few travelling journals, some of which were supposed to be returned to me, but I don't recall any of them ever making their way back here to Maryland.

 

Anyway, this Forum is REALLY large (content-wise) and with almost 3000 members I can imagine it would be easy to get "lost in it!" I practically don't know where to [re]start.

 

Take Care and thanks for the welcome,

Tom

Welcome, Tom!

 

I've only been here since June. I'm beginning to learn my way around. There's so much good information here!

So many pens, so little time!

Of course Debbie! How could I forget you !!?? I hope every thing is good there in NC (that's where you still are right?)

P.S. Debbie, in case you were wondering, that guitar is a 1937 Martin D-28 - probably worth about $50K. I wish it was mine!!! :D

      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
