First today's youtube feature. I was browsing around and a SNL video came up that was Ryan Gosling obsessing about Avatar using the Papyrus typeface in their title. I thought, "aaaaaw font humor! They're totally stealing from Elle Cordova!" I love Elle Cordova, she's peak nerd humor. So here you go:
Now my contribution to HNW. Hey I KNOW this is the worst cut and paste ever, but I'm still proud of figuring out how to do it in PicsArt and it cracks me up. Me out weeding the garden wearing lingerie. 😂😂😂
The HWD move is progressing. He rented a truck on Saturday and was able to bring over a couple of truckloads (even though he still had to work at his weekend job for a few hours). Last night should have been his last efforts. It rained all evening. He texted me around 9 pm and said he was just going to sleep on the floor at his apartment (all the mattresses had already been moved on Saturday). I went over before yoga class this morning to fill up my car. The apartment was still a total disaster area - nowhere near to being cleared out. It's defying the laws of physics at this point. It's a tiny apartment and we've moved a ton of stuff out - enough to almost fill one stall in my garage and my basement family room - but it still looks just as full of crap as it did on Saturday. The buyer was supposed to be coming over at noon. I'm sure that was an interesting confrontation. 😬

Here was one of my other attempts, which I rejected because for some reason the lower half of my body was transparent. 😂
It's an interesting effect.
@CleavageFan4U On this one I used the "auto" feature to outline myself instead of doing it manually. For some reason it got confused on my black pajama pants...
Almost looks like half burried under ground
Love the un-intended effect. Looks like the character from the Avenger's movie who can become translucent and pass through objects. looks like you are phasing through the ground...lol
Loved the font video. It was both funny and bezier.
Her mind works in very strange and funny ways.
@smartasswoman I think you got it, I used bezier instead of bizarre.
You never really realize just how much stuff you have until you have to move house.
Amen.
I like your lingerie. The second picture looks like you are rising from the ground.
A bit spooky right?
Love your hot pink tree. I'd seen the font humor before but missed the snl skit. I'll have to look for that one. Best wishes on the hwd stuff.
I actually couldn't finish the Papyrus skit, it was six minutes long and not that funny!
Wow, I use to be an avid font geek!!! As a graphic illustrator I took that class in art school. I have a knack for typefonts and spacing. If you asked me during the time I spent learning and doing it at school, I despised it!!! But, I did very well at it and it came very easy to me. I will say I have an eye for fonts. Hearing the You Tuber's play on it sync'ed with me. Thank you for the blast to my past. lol
So glad there was someone in my audience with the niche to appreciate font humor.
@smartasswoman It hit the target...thanks
I hope HWD didn't get into any trouble with the buyer.
Happy HNW!
I guess the buyer didn't come over after all. And he managed to get everything that he actually wanted (or wanted to go through later and decide if he wants, lol) out by 9 pm or so. He thinks the buyer is going to remodel anyway, so I imagine anything that's left will go into a dumpster.
I love it!! Your pic is fabulous!!
Stuff multiplies when we aren't looking. I feel for HWD.
I am learning about him in this process. He can't resist a freebie. "See that chair? Someone left it out on their boulevard as a giveaway".
Harmless, until it comes time to move everything.
Well.....just so you know Smarty...Sat 5/4 th is World Naked Gardening Day. I sent all the info/history to our cat lady, just in case, she wants to prepare...lol
Great job on your new photo skill.
and moving ( sigh ) always an ordeal. I look around here and as much as ive trashed and donated, there is still stuffs hanging on ~
OMG so this photo was just in time! lol. I should make an offer to Cat Lady that I'll transpose a sexy pic of her into her garden. But I suspect she's probably more comfortable with just going ahead and posing outside than I am.
Moving can be trying. Happy HNW
Nice yard. I love your crabapple tree. It almost matches your lingerie.
Every new skill has to start somewhere. You done good.
Thanks BJ, I did think those undies were a good fit with the crabapple blossoms.
That was clever and very funny.😂
I usually use Arial, but I've considered Helvetica.
Really nice crop.💕
I'm picturing the fun you're having and the tons coming up.
I'm an Arial person too.
I think it actually will be fun having him around, once the moving drama is over.
Then we get to go through it all over again whenever he finds an apartment he can afford. 😬
@smartasswoman
Right, with his kids. Who doesn't wanna play Mom? 🤗💕
Where's he looking? Kingfield, Fulton, North Loop?
Have you seen his list... and checked it?
Ya know — THAT's how it all usually starts.
Just saying. 😶
@Paulxx001 All of those neighborhoods are in Minneapolis. His kids' mom lives 20 miles east of St. Paul and the school where he teaches is in St. Paul, so no...I don't think he's looking in Kingfield, Fulton or North Loop. Nice googling though.
I'm guessing his kids are old enough that they don't want a second mom figure in their lives.
Gotcha... 👍💕
It depends on how you define a "second Mom" and her duties. No one wants an artificial mirror of their real one, but kidZ of any age appreciate empathy, a sympathetic ear, and a warm hug once in a while. Here's your chance to pretend — as if.
They'll be watching you for any signs and reporting back to the "real" one about every wrinkle. No pressure. 😶
"Parenting The New Teen": it's probably in your library.
@Paulxx001 just happened to see this … I don’t get alerts on reply replies unless you tag me.
Of course I’m willing to be a sympathetic ear and provide a hug, but I’m not going to push that unless it’s wanted…
It's not the WORST copy/paste ever - though I am now wondering about the relative sizes of your yard, and your...well...you know. 🤣
Moving is NEVER fun (say the man about to start year 25 in the same house.)
Happy HNW.
You're right, I think the scale is a bit off, haha! When I first brought it in it was waaaaay too small, I think I went too far in adjusting the size.
@smartasswoman Part of it is a perspective issue in the body shot. It appears your butt was much closer to the camera than your head, so APPEARS to be much larger.
@CleavageFan4U actually my butt is much larger than my head. 😂 Perspective only adds to that.
@smartasswoman 🤣
Should have called me, I'm a window cleaner and would have worked out a trade with ya (sexy lady)
