[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 14 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Hahaha. I used to have a home office room, and I bought and installed a whiteboard on the wall, for noting things down, planning, to-do list etc. For five years, it had a single scrap of paper blue-tacked to it, which read "1) Buy a whiteboard pen". I eventually solved it by moving house. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago Thanks for the reminder. I put up whiteboards for my kids a bunch of years back, and all the pens are dead. Of course, both kids are in college and I have no use for those so maybe the boards should come down permalink fedilink source parent
