That part which laws or kings can cause or cure.

Sorry...don't know what you're talkin' about.

Unless of course, your referring to MY impending nuptial.

(Hmm..."impending"...sounds right, right? But wrong at the same time.)

Yeah, that's too bad it has a crack. But, hey, at least the seller disclosed it, and no one can call him a "jerk" for any alleged trickery to take advantage of the poor, vulnerable ebay buyers.

The seller is definitely "out there"...how far? We'll never know.

That's freakin' awesome..you've got "the Manny" down pat.

 

Well, I think I'm gonna start hangin' out at the "other" Other Side. If anyone wants to stay in touch, I can be found there--or email me or something: gclef1114@gmail.com.

I'll pop in here once in a while I guess, just to see what's happenin'.

 

Adios.

      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

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
