I have all of the ink I need, but thanks for asking.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Another failed attempt at humor...........sigh.

 

Try it like this:

Bob: What ink(s) are you waiting for in the mail? (the thread title)

Me:  I have all of the ink I need, but thanks for asking.

Bob:  What are you talking about?  That's heretical and you are speaking nonsense. There is NO SUCH THING AS ALL THE INK YOU NEED.

LOL,

 

I am visiting in Kona, Hawaii and need more ink. So I now have some Ferris Wheel Press shimmer inks.  I probably already had them, but hey I didn't have them here and literally, I was out of ink.

Ooh, where do I buy ink in Kona?  I'm not there now, but a vacation in Hawai'i may happen later this year, and we always stop in Kona.

You really shouldn't post stuff like that. People will think you're serious.

No really, I came to Hawaii, with 5 pens loaded with ink and I emptied them out. I had to acquire more ink!  For me it was an emergency.

So glad you were able to find some excellent emergency ink on a small island out in the middle of the Pacific ocean!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

I was already making fun of her in another thread (where she posted photos of the art supply store she went to) about her having run out of ink.

After all -- she's one of the people about whom (a few years ago) when I was telling my husband "Oh, no I don't have NEARLY as many different inks as some people..." and his response was, "This ISN'T supposed to be a competition!" :lol:

You should need more coffee.  I bet you could concoct something using the essence of coffee.

Actually, this time is wasn't down to the boards. I just happened to be browsing on Cult Pens and found the three new 'wonders of the world' inks that simply couldn't be resisted. And of course I then found the some Colorverse project inks that I hadn't previously spotted. And they were all in the sale, and I had a discount code, so it almost doesn't count. Actually, I think I was very restrained as I didn't put any pens in the cart at all.

 

(though I might have ordered a few yesterday.....)

Wonders of the World ink!  Oh, now I have to look at these. Sometimes it’s the name of an ink that draws me in. 
 

Just looked. Now I think I want some of them. I do love ordering Diamine inks from Cult Pens.

Oooh! Hawaii, huh? Gosh, just think -- you're SO CLOSE to so many places where so many inks are made!  

[&, you'd sooner run out of money!] LOL 

 

I got 99 problems but a BIC ain't one!

Ever notice that all the instruments looking for signs of intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?

If I said I'll fix it, I will. There's no need to remind me every 6 months.
