Noodler's Blue Ghost

Recommended Posts

After awhile the little UV light that came with NBG died and I couldn't figure out how to get it apart to see whether it was the battery or the bulb. So I went looking for a replacement, and spent a bunch of hours looking online doing Google searches -- and then discovered that for roughly $10 US I could get an LED UV flashlight at the Walmart 20 minutes from my house:

And the nice thing about this one is that it takes regular AAA size batteries.... :thumbup:

Hi Ruth!

 

That's what I did too!

 

Works great, I've been doing this for about a year and I haven't noticed any fading yet.

So space and time are linked together. As we are looking across space, we are looking back in time. The further and further away those stars are the further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a star that is say six thousand years ago. Imagine somebody at that star looking at us They would be seeing us as we were six thousand years ago. Which of those two is now? - Alan Parsons Project The Time Machine - Temporalia (Paraphrased)

I finally got my big bottle of blue ghost in, and i absolutely love it. Don't really like the charlie pen that came with it, as it writes really really dry but it leaks from where the nib connects to the feed.

 

But I went to walmart and bought a $5 clip-on desk lamp, and a $3 blacklight bulb. I have it clipped onto the edge of my bed's headboard, and it's super easy to use. I use the ink to write in my journal.

I am the tarot reading, bookworm, whiskey drinking, witchcraft practicing, old fashioned writing, aunt Beasty in my family and I love it. Tarot readings for sale or trade, especially ink as I've lost all of my pen stuff from a bad burglary last year. And I need penpals! Anyone interested, please PM me!

I’ve had good luck with putting it in a Preppy.

 

And I got my flashlight on amazon for around $10. Wish I’d gone to Walmart.
