I am back!

 

Please accept my sincere apologies for my absence since my return from the UK. I have again been suffering from a very nasty chest infection, and many people were very kind to me at the LA show in making sure that I had plenty of water.

 

I know that I do not have to go into detail, but feel that I need to do so that people in this forum do not think it is just an excuse. I have been repeatedly prescribed several steroids to kick the infection (prednisone, inhalers, etc.,) and although I am feeling a lot better, I am still not 100%. A few people at the show suggested that I should also use the Himalayan crystal salt inhaler. If anybody reading this message has experience with this natural alternative to steroids please let me know :)

 

It has been a while since I have logged into this forum and I will be working today on responding to all the private messages sent to me.

 

Thank you again for your patience and support.

 

Warmest regards,

 

Mary Burke

What was the outcome of the meetings in Plymouth for which you solicited our input?

Mary, please listen to physicians when you want medical advice. Peer reviewed Medical journals trump

Urban myth when it comes to determining health care plans of action.

I'm sorry you've been feeling so poorly Mary. It takes a long time to recover from an infection like that. I had pneumonia last year and it took months for me to get fully on my feet. I recommend getting a salt lamp- it might not do anything for you medically but its beauty will lift your spirits.

      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..

      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
