Think of them as a mid-point between a fountain and a ballpoint, I guess.
I always think of them as much closer to the ballpoint, though. Not that that predicts anything about your brother, Emily. What's your price range for what you want to buy him?
I really like Cross rollerball pens. They're elegant and weighty but not ginormously expensive.
Ah, fuck. I went ahead and blew my erewards credit on a gift certificate to Levenger specifically so I could get a specific thing for my mother's husband. Now I find out it isn't available anymore. ARGH.
Emily, did you check their sale page? There may be some discontinued stuff there. [link]
Better Cross pens link.
I think I got my Dad the Townsend for his birthday last year.
And I have an Ion on my keychain.
Okay, done now.
I checked. I even entered the catalog code. It told me it wasn't offered anymore. Now if I don't spend $100 there I'll feel like I wasted $25, but I honest to God don't see anything there I want to get for either my stepfather or my brother.
This is disheartening.
I know this probably won't help, but I found my converters and a beautiful fountain pen and cool ink at pendemonium.
People told me today was going to be busy. They lied.
How can people have such varying definitions of "right away"? If you can't do it right away, please stop saying you will.
I'm on the phone with the stupidest AAA rep ever. I told her I want to transfer my membership, since the SoCal one expires today, and she keeps asking me where I lived in Washington State.
I have no idea where that came from.
