Luckily it is free to rant here … if we had to pay 'per word’ the rants would be shorter
BTW speaking of luxury expenditures, did you hear about the woman who wanted to place an obituary in the paper announcing her husband's death?

If I am ever near a boutique
I will definitely go in. We have a pen shop here and they carry MB, a decent selection, not great but assume they could order what the don't have for someone. I have 4 Montblancs, pen rollerball, pencil and document marker, will eventually get the fountai...
Great!
As of now I have 3 Montblancs. A rollerball that my mother got me on my birthday many years ago, the heritage rouge et noir baby, and a month ago during a summer sale in an AD I managed to grab a 149 with a curved calligraphy nib for 20% off. The nib is a...
