Rowena M.@rodriguez_linda I love fountain pens too!:)
@rowenamonde I have way too many! I've always loved them, but after my shoulder injury, they're the only way I can write by hand for more than a few seconds.
@rodriguez_linda Same, and let's not talk about fountain pen ink😅 I'm glad you have a less painful way to write since your injury
@rowenamonde Oh, the ink! Ssshhh! And all the different colors of cartridges. <Looks around shifty-eyed>
@rodriguez_linda 🤣🤣🤣I have a big box of cartridges, oh my!
@rowenamonde We just won't talk about those, will we? I mean, if we don't talk about them, we can pretend like they don't matter or even exist, right? (I may be a little hoarderish when it comes to fountain pens, ink, and cartridges.)
@rodriguez_linda Right!🤣 It's nice we have something that gives us joy✒️🖋

@rodriguez_linda @rowenamonde I used them as a kid but got interested again due to chronic hand pain.
Which they don't really help with more than a rollerball, but I still love them.
@rodriguez_linda @rowenamonde I collect some other pens and pencils, too. Latest interest might become Esterbrook ballpoints, now that you can get 3D printed refill adapters for them! Better than your average ballpoint.
@chemoelectric @rodriguez_linda I've heard great things about Esterbrooks! Almost bought one last year but got a Conklin instead.
@rowenamonde @chemoelectric I like Pilots and Jin-Haos for everyday work. They're not as expensive or fancy, but I have found they're just so much smoother and easier for me to write with, and I can't put hardly any pressure on the pen, at all.
@rodriguez_linda @chemoelectric Pilots are great. I've been using my TWSBI broad nib for a class I'm taking and I really enjoy it, although my paper quality needs to be really good so the ink doesn't leak through
@rowenamonde @chemoelectric Clairfontaine is my favorite paper. I love their notebooks and journals. So smooth and they never leak through. You can write on both sides even with the broad nib fountain pens
@rodriguez_linda @chemoelectric So my other obsession is notebooks🤣 I can't get enough of them!
@rowenamonde @chemoelectric I must admit I'm guilty of the same.
@rowenamonde These are from the old Esterbrook company, mind you. It stopped existing in the 1960s. There's s new one i know nothing about. :)
@chemoelectric @rodriguez_linda They are really fun to write with! I used ballpoints for years and ended up with callouses as I wrote a lot. By the way, is that a huge bottle of Pilot blue-black you have as your profile picture?

@pglas4life I had dogs all my life, but after saying goodbye to the last one (old age), I just couldn't get another, because I'm just not in shape to handle one and neither is my husband. It's a real grief for both of us because we're huge dog lovers.
