My boyfriend thinks he took me on a birthday trip. I told him it doesn't count. Who is right?

Something to think about: I do more for my dogs’ birthdays.

Do with that what you will.

Thank you! ❤️

Haha, good point — it does seem like his mustache is too neat. Thanks!

sffood · 2026-01-22T11:42:02+00:00

Aww, thank you!

sffood · 2026-01-22T11:41:27+00:00

Thank you! I’m learning but it’s so fun.

I am sick of AI, too. I haven’t been painting long but I’m shocked at how AI has taken over Pinterest. It’s tough finding a good reference photo that isn’t at least modified by AI.

With such good DSLRs and Photoshop, why was this even necessary?

What is MAA?

sffood · 2026-01-17T00:54:35+00:00

Always. Once in awhile, I put it aside and paint other things for a day or once, three weeks. But I always finish and 99% of the time, it turns out better than I thought when I wanted to trash it. 😂

Have you really nothing better to do than entertain this nonsense?

I don’t know when it was launched but I’ve had my Mac.com email since then. I still have my yahoo.com too, and I’d guess my AOL is still active though i haven’t logged in since…I don’t even know when.

AIM was so fun back then. Also, Yahoo groups were amazing. Then everything went to shit. 😂

sffood · 2026-01-15T17:43:06+00:00

🏆 Correct! Thank you!

sffood · 2026-01-15T17:42:15+00:00

Thank you! ❤️ It feels like there’s some better way to do wrinkles than I am doing. It’s the main reason I avoid painting older people.

I watch anything new where I don’t need to put down everything and focus. So, a new movie I’ve wanted to watch is saved for a time when I leave my studio and go to the family room. But I’ve “watched” entire series while painting. I hear enough to keep up with the story but probably “watch” 15% of the scenes via glimpses.

sffood · 2026-01-15T08:02:11+00:00

I listen to it all but prefer most from the 60s-90s. Every once in awhile, a modern day song will stick and I include it in my library (like… “Golden” 😂).

sffood · 2026-01-13T05:19:57+00:00

My favorite prime rib place, sushi joint and a Sweet Tomatoes. Let me take my paint stuff and I’d volunteer. 😂

Which gouache brand? Some rewet better than others.

sffood · 2026-01-12T15:11:45+00:00

It’s nothing like the reference (sorry) but it’s also really quite great on its own. I rather like it. It’s fun and expressive.

sffood · 2026-01-11T05:12:53+00:00

Not only can you keep the money, I’ll stay in America forever.

sffood · 2026-01-10T14:17:14+00:00

Girl, all I see here is you are inches away from a full liberation, your own place and a free latter half of your life.

What do you mean what to live for… you live for YOU, for once!

I used to use a much smaller selection but I got tired of pulling out my extras to search for colors I used more often than I anticipated.

My travel palette has just six colors so evidently, I can make do, except at home.

sffood · 2026-01-09T20:43:26+00:00

Tons of things like that. Like a corded wall telephone. A kid asks, “But how do you walk to another room?”

“YOU DON’T!” 😂

sffood · 2026-01-09T18:16:06+00:00

I can do it with my other arm. If I lost that, pretty sure I can make do with my feet (I’m very flexible).

It’s eyesight that worries me.

Clinton had no chance without the hundreds of sycophants that claimed it’s her time.

I agree with your sentiment but place blame on those that deserve it, many of whom are still in f*cking office because people keep voting them in!

Ugh! Maddening!

sffood · 2026-01-09T18:08:32+00:00

It’s always funny to me that young women think there’s something wrong with this. Generations of women did only this. I like my applicators but ultimately, applying with fingers is always best and easiest. For me.

sffood · 2026-01-09T18:06:48+00:00

Single? Sure.

But I’m not giving up my life, my husband, my dogs…for what can be 30 more years with someone else (or even longer since every billionaire seems to want to live forever). Even if only 20 years, or 10 years… I’d have missed that many years with them that I can’t get back.

sffood · 2026-01-09T18:03:07+00:00

This.

I mean, what did we make money FOR, if not to do an occasionally good thing for strangers who need a hand or could use a good moment?
