It's Sunday Selfie Time

 Hi, its selfie Sunday and I have not taken any current pictures of myself, well, because I do have a mirror.

I took these today, August 3, 2024 and its only 33 days from my 80th birthday. I know you are thinking I have no wrinkles and such beautiful skin. NOT true. Samsung has a smoothing filter that automatically does this when in selfie mode. I snapped ME, I showed you a little of the jungle growth, then looked down and saw the rose moss and ferns.

then I sat on sofa with Ipad and blurred the background behind my perfect smooth face, then removed the background, and played for an hour trying to do a tutorial of DIGITAL ART  . I forgot to start with DIGITAL ART is Trending. Go ahead, google digital art is trending. WOW~

Then I got frustrated and well,,, here you go.

I did not finish the tutorial.

but I did scribble on it. Just for you.

By the way, we ate out at Golden Corral Friday, and the cute BABY BOY waiter said what drinks can i get you? I said Oh I forgot to tell her when I paid, he said its changed, all Seniors get free drinks with meals, for 11.99 and I bring you your choice. He winked and said its because Seniors are Special. I said Well I might be really special because I will be really old in a few days, as in 80. He said, REALLY? you look like your 60...  (note: the comment was before the tip)

When we left, he said to Bob, I told her she looks 60, but you I am saying 55.

Bob laughed we all laughed and when we got outside, Bob said, what did he say? I did not understand a word he said...at least he laughed like he knew 

Talk about really OLD

PS if i get brave, I will take a selfie with the iPhone. it shows wrinkles.

Brain Dead? Memory Desertion?

 

This post is dedicated to the memory of MY MEMORY... the one I used for 78 years, it is either dead or has deserted me. I had to look up desert/dessert to see which one to use here.

I found this

To Desert (someone or something) for (someone or something else): This idiom means to leave or abandon someone or something in favor of someone or something else. It implies a sense of betrayal or abandonment.

Simply Said, My Memory has simply abandoned me this past week.

#1.  I had THREE pots going at one time and since I am not good at cooking, the green beans were ready first and I left it on warm. 

We ate lunch at 12 noon. At 3 pm, I heard Bob pour dog food in Beau's bowl and then loud cursing. I sprang (ha ha) from the bed I was reclining on with a kindle in hand and headed for the kitchen. The smell was horrid. I had left the burner on warm for 3 hours, Bob took frozen loaf of bread out to thaw and for some reason his brain deserted him and HE LAID the bread ON THE BURNER, sat down in front of the TV and loudly cursed when he smelled plastic burning. 

The house did not burn down, the bread was salvaged except for two bottoms of 2 slices, and we did the What ifs, the thankful prayers of thanks for the what ifs that did not happen and we spent TWO days getting the plastic off the coils to the burner.

#2.  My quick trip to Publix to grab RX and 4 things Walmart did not have, went well and when I got home, I only had 2 bags, having left the 3rd bag with a 5-dollar bottle of Cranberry Juice hanging on the bag hook at the self-check register. A return trip, found the register watcher girl, had saved it for my return trip.

#3. Fast forward a week, and I am shopping at Walmart, and nearly faint when the price is over 200.00. After we lugged it all in the house, I told Bob, dog food had gone up to double the price, and was 60.00. 

 I forgot to check the price when I zapped it with the handheld gun thingy because I had 10 items that needed the hand scanner thingy. I grabbed the receipt to read the price of dog food to Bob and and much to my embarrassment, I found I HAD

 SCANNED THE DOG FOOD TWICE, the price still 30 as it was the last time.

The good news is, I took the receipt back to Customer Service, they put the 32 dollars back on my debit card.

 I do love Walmart, most of the time.

Memory RECAP : I left a burner on, I left the bag at the store, I double charged MYSELF and had to drive to each store TWICE using twice the gas.

This is eating into my AI playtime, which is supposed to help my cognitive abilities, but I did find time to create crazy brains pics with Bing Designer and I have noticed my cognitive abilities are getting worse not better, I wonder if AI is messing with my mind???

PS:  I FORGOT TO PUT TOMATOES on Bob's Tacos EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE IN THE BOWL IN FRONT OF MY FACE.      HE DID NOT EVEN NOTICE.

TO GET THESE I TYPED "SENIOR WOMAN WITH BRAIN EXPLODING WITH IDEAS

The Apple Shape and the Powder Puff Take Down Part 2

 

In prior post, the Powder Puff Take Down, you may have seen the above creation of 

#OOTD (# outfit of the day) and read the story of taking down our Powder Puff tree.

The above #OOTD ugly jeans are the leg protectors for yard work, I only have one good pair, these are the old ones I wore when I weighed 70 pounds more than I do now.  Thus the "draped jean skirt effect"

The story of the pants is the fact that underneath whatever I wear, the body parts between head and hips is a perfect Apple Shape. This has frustrated me for all 79 of my years. Even as a child/teen, even though I was not overweight, the apple waist was always larger than the bust and hips.

Anything I buy, from skirts, pants, blouses, underwear, if it fits my waist comfortably, it is way to big on the top and bottom.  

See the apple above?  In 2017, I found stretch leggings, and a box shaped T-shirt, hides the apple from sight. Comfy and the apple disappears unless the wind is blowing like last week and it presses the box shirt up tight against me then the apple appears. 

This size chart is off of Amazon and since they are never correct, I am using it to show you there is no size that is small bust, large waist, even smaller hips. My hips are 6 inches smaller than my waist. NONE of this is my size because I have no size. I must try things on to do the mirror test of 

DOES IT HIDE THE APPLE

I created 3 of me showing the Apple Effect, this was a photo of a real apple, sitting on a pepper shaker.
MAD? MadSnaper

Someone Please Design pants and a top to fit the model below created in Bing Designer

this is my shape, legs/arms like sticks, the more weight I lose the skinnier they get

below is my Failed Attempt to describe what I wanted. 

It is all about what you say in AI... 

Powder Puff Tree Take Down🌳🌳

2023 photo, and there are more, they all look the same. I did not take a photo this year

 Every April for the past 34 years Bob cuts the powder puff bush down to about 3 or 4 feet, and by November it 12 feet tall and as big as a small school bus and flowers in November until March and down it goes again. 

The past 5 years, he does the wielding of the chain saw, I run to the curb dragging the limbs for trash pickup. 

The tree is down, the deed is done. It was our first time at ages 79 and 87 and it nearly killed us. 

This time I counted the drags to the curb. I dragged 10 piles of limbs to the curb, walking 100 feet there and 100 back. This feat was accomplished by bending, stooping, gathering up about 20 limbs, and dragging them while walking 1000 feet. Also, I had to fight the limbs through the privacy fence gate and then a chain link gate. NOT a wide one, a person sized one. Did you hear my words?

Picture this, An American football field is 360 feet (110m) long.. I walked 1000 feet that day. DRAGGING Tree Branches. Bob was nice enough to say, I did the hardest part. The thing is, I can't do the chain saw. he can't walk. He can stand but now really well, while I walked out of sight, I pictures in my fretter mind, returning to the scene of the take down and find him on the ground bleeding.

For 3 full days, each morning the neighbors may have heard the sounds we made when getting up out of bed, sitting, walking, or making any movement at all of our limbs. Our Limbs not the powder puff.

Because last year, I ended up with multiple stab wounds on my legs, this year I donned the 

#OOTD

But Wait there's MORE! 

TO BE CONTINUED

Barbie Pink?

 

If you live in the USA, you will by now know what Barbie Pink is! 

If not, you will by the end of this post.  

I have never been a PINK Girl/teen/woman/senior. Browsing in WM for a 100% cotton gown, I found this pink one, purchased it and came home to model for Bob and said, 

what do you think? Its Barbie pink.

He said, I like it, you look good in pink. I have never liked pink, but I like this.

I said everything in the store is now Barbie Pink! 

He said what is Barbie Pink?  He had no clue who Barbie was in the past or is in the present. The thing is, a few nights ago we watched the Oscar Awards and the Barbie movie had 8 nominations AND I watched Ryan Gosling Ken Dance TWICE, click on twice to see it as many times as you would like.

Bob even came in the computer room when he heard the music and said what are you watching?

I answer the Ken Dance from Barbie. He left and had no clue what I was watching.

He is still unaware that Barbie the Movie has taken over the USA. He does know who Taylor Swift is because he grumps every time she is on TV screen.

Imagine my surprise when I found Barbie Pink Glass Flamingos in Home Depot Garden shop.

I wanted them but Just said No.. they are solar lights. And now I know of 2 things I like in 

Barbie Pink. I say Barbie Pink because Flamingo Pink is not this color. 

I have not seen the movie but I have watched the trailer which did not make me want to watch the movie, but I may have watched the Ken Dance a third time. I love dancing and dancers.

Barbi Trailer Here or below. Yes David, I know you don't want to see it. 😍😉💞😍❣️

Guess what's trending???

 

Bing Designer trending maxie skirts 2024

Guess what trending? Did you guess Maxie Skirts? Trending Skirts HERE Maxie skirts are BACK!   I had 4 of them back in the early 90's.  Are you pondering just why I am telling you this????

Here is the answer!

I bought one! I do not look like AI women above.  I was too ashamed to take a photo of me in it. I did seflies in the mirror of me holding m trendy skirt. Maxie skirts have been around and around and around over the years. First women fought to wear short skirts and did, then back to the long, back to the short, all because of Fashion Trends.

Am I a fashion person? that would be a NO!  Here is my excuse. I have really bad varicose veins. I went to the doctor and the only clothing I have are leggings and shirts. I had to wear that to the doctor. She wanted to see my leg.  

Have you ever had to peel off leggins in a doctor's office? Taking them off and putting them back on is like an Olympic event when a person is OLD. I stepped in Bealls Outlet to see if they had wide leg pants that would be easier to remove. They Did but wow were they ugly. The store had racks and racks of maxie skirts.

I BOUGHT ONE! Next time I need to show my legs to the doctor I will wear the skirt, that will be the only time I wear it. you Will never ever sees a photo of me in it. or another one of me just holding it.

The good news is, it was only 12 dollars, and if I ever have the burning desired to TREND I can!!!!

The Weapon, the wound and the Drama Queen

 

1.  The weapon: a box of Saltines, box lifted from the TOP shelf, the box put back on the shelf while Mad  Woman stood on tippy toes.

2. The wound, is on left arm of Drama Queen AKA, MadSnapper, 1/4 inch slit, a large bruise, blood dripping

3. The Cause: Madwoman is shrinking due to age, top shelf requires tippy toes to put Saltine back on shelf and while on tippy toes with arm extended as high as she could reach, box rocketed off shelf and attacked the left forearm, landing on THE POINT, slicing a Really Large (1/4 inch) slit, like a tiny knife, but still a knife. OWWWWWWWWWW

4. The CURE to gushing blood, place the tiny bandage that is a bleed controlling, life saver, stopped the bloody water fall, like a dam.

The good news is, now you Know Blood Stopping Bandage Exist and I am thinking all of you can guess where they came from..... Clue: starts with the letter A. 

Does anyone know exercises to do to STOP ME FROM SHRINKING? 

New Years Day 2024

I was born in September, I assume my parents started their new year successfully! 

Sorry for all the annoying behavior I did throughout the year. May you give me another chance to do the same in the next New Year! 

NOT!!!

Sunday Selfie Sweater Clip

 

I wanted to show you how the sweater clips work, holding the no buttons sweater together. OF COURSE I took FOUR photos, waving my hand at the phone while it sat in the kitchen chair.

Ending up with the close up and the three above. The first one, my hand was still waving at the cell phone but I liked it because I was laughing at my silly self and it LOOKS like I was dancing with Joy. I decided to remove the kitchen from behind me and this is my picmonkey crazy lady background.

Then I decide to PARTY, I mean who would wear Christmas Flamingos to a Disco Dance. Someone quite MAD..

I talked down a battery

 

I am back. I missed all of you a lot! Friday morning, I Facetimed with my brother and his wife. they live 10 hours' drive away. We talked so long, my phone you see above, popped up and said WARNING, your phone is about to shut down, you have 17% battery time. My brother said, now you can tell everyone you talked your cell battery down. I felt good when I hung up. 

I commanded Bing Creator with these words, 

talking on the cell phone so long, the battery runs down, whimsical.

I then had a fit of giggles because this supposed to be Artificial Intelligence is not very intelligent.

The first one that came up was the phone with no battery, I added me to it, these are the other two. Life has been overwhelming.  Everyday life is tied in Knots, most of them are forever knotted and I must figure out how to handle them without imploding, exploding, and find a way to reload. Maybe AI is smarter than I thought, because the Aqua Phone on the phone controlled by the clock, with all kinds of crazy things in containers and spilled on the floor, and below the sad look and battery on the floor is pretty much ME right now.

I spent my time off tossing STUFF out of closets, drawers and cabinets. Two closets and 2 cabinets left. My blogs are intended to be fun for me to create and fun for others to read. Just know that if I make a snarky comment, I did not mean to.... 

Sometimes Snarky Snapper Snarks

I am Back and Ready to CHAT I find it more difficult to LIFE without you, my E-Friends

Life is Hard

While looking for band aids, a fellow shopper and I discussed how hard it was to find merchandise because the store is remodeling. 

She pulled out her phone and said if you open your Wal-Mart APP it will show you which aisle the item is on. I said I don't have the app. She offered to show me how it worked, and I was impressed. 

I rushed home downloaded the app and did what she did and there was no info showing. I found the item but no aisle. I wasted an hour and a lot of frustration trying to make it work. I could not find the screens she showed me.

two days later.......

I stood at the Customer Service desk in Walmart, returning a purchase. I pulled out my cell and said could you show me where I find the aisle items are in? She answered sure, I poked it several times and it opened, and it was a screen I had not seen, I said I did not have this at home, this is easy, it had all the information needed on front screen, so easy a 3-year-old could do it and with 3 pokes I knew where the calendars were. I said, this is easy, but I got none of this at home.

She Smiled and said, it knows when you are in the store, it talks to the store, you have it set on this store, but if you went in another store, it would say, please pick the correct store and give you the ones in your location. It can't give the aisle in your home.

 

Oh No! she did not! part 2

 

continued from prior post Oh No! she did not! part 1

After taking several practice shots using my hand signals to Samsung A14, I asked my phone if it could make a collage?  YES! I found it in Gallery, and it was so easy, I made TWO. ha ha . then 

 I thought of my e-friend Ann, of Ann's Snap Edit Scrap, and the fact she bought the same cell phone as mine a couple of weeks before I bought mine. Excited I had learned something new on OUR phones, I texted her the rounded collage, and said I just learned to make a collage on our phone. 

She replied, I will have to look for it, I have not seen it.  I quickly sent the 4 steps to find it and she replied, Cool! I found it; Now I'll have to play with that when I do home today!

She also sent a sticker of a Happy Dance.

OH NO! old clueless in the orange jacket totally forgot Ann was at work!

I hope she doesnt get in trouble for texting while baking.

Forgive me Ann, and  since we never know who is watching MadSnapper Posts.

No app needed, its already there....If you want to know if your phone will do this, JUST ASK IT!

MY happy dance! I love finding new things on my phones

Oh No! she did not! part 1

 

This all started when I had to wear my orange jacket to walk Beau because it was a freezing 59F/15C when I walked Beau, Tuesday morning. I wanted to send me in my orange Jacket and the temps to my SIL who was at 45F.

 I live in a house, without dog nor man, that will pose with me for a selfie. I asked my Samsung A14 how to take better selfies while holding phone at end of my reach. It replied with Show your palm to the selfie mode, close to fist and it counts down 3,2,1 and takes the photo. NOTE above is a spot left for man OR dog in selfie.

I spied Fake Bob Statue on Kitchen Counter and

Oh Well. It does work, depends on what is in front of the selfie mode. Bob said what are you doing? He SHOULD know by now! I mean Really??

I showed him the photos he said but WHY? I said I am practicing in case I want a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower, He said NOBODY cares!  I state "Everyone CARES but YOU!

I ended up with 4 selfies and I wanted you to know, IF I would fly or float and could go to any other country, the first place I would go is this castle in Scotland that has my Great Grand Fathers Family name of Urquhart.    I have 2 E-friends in Scotland, 2 in France, 1 in Portugal, 2 in Britain, 1 Sweden, and I might be stopping by if I figure out how to get there.   

Since I had more selfies, I decided to........................Wait, there's More! to be continued

Caturday ART by MadSnapper Insta Toon

 

MadSnapper and Winston 

Recent Update to Insta toon and playtime by the Mad One., there might more on Beaus blog

I love this Big dog. Guess what, it doesn't involve cutting me and Winston out, just pull up the photo and click on one of 40 backgrounds.

Breaking News!

 

Breaking news!  A stabbing occurred at the MadSnapper home, at approximately 11 AM, Wednesday morning. My apologies for the interruption of the Photos Received in My Mail.

It was not a case of suicide, even though the stabbing was done by the atm of the injured person.

In an effort to assist my husband by filling the ice trays and returning to the freezer, I sat them on the shelf and as I was withdrawing my arm, the Bag of Frozen Strawberries, sliced a tiny hole, FELT like a big hole, and proceeded to bleed under the skin.

this causes me to sit the phone on the counter and set on selfie trying to get a shot of it and the phone said, if you show the phone, you PALM, it will take and auto selfie in 3 seconds. 

Brahahahaha.. it worked and I decided to lean on the counter and try again.

That's all folks. 

PS Next time I try it, I will come my hair, put on makeup, and not get so CLOSE to the camera.

Who knew Bags Can be Lethal?

What is the craziest thing you have been stabbed by?

Birthday Gift/Sunday Selfie

Good news! I laid the blouse on the counter, and cashier said, please put your phone number in if you have Bealls Rewards! I did and she smiled really big and Said HAPPY Birthday! you have a gift of 15 % off on your purchase, do you want to take it on the blouse or save it for later. I said Take it now and she sang Happy Birthday all through the transaction. She had a beautiful voice and smile to match it..

Myra and Gail wondered if people paint their homes each year per the new trending colors.

 No, the aqua houses are all still aqua.  My theory is that when people paint their homes, the palettes in the paint store are what they choose from. they don't know they are trending; they just choose what is there. 

Adverntures of a new cellphone - Selfie Sunday

 

The NINETY photos of me you saw yesterday, was caused by BURST, in the new cellphone.  Take one photo, it takes a burst of 10.

this will clog your phone in just a few days. Research on phone said I created the problem, by sliding my finger on the button and not tapping it. This will not happen again. I hope.

Because of the BURST, I ended up watching 3 videos on the camera in the Galaxy A14 and found 87 million SETTINGS! AHHHHH! I do love PLAYING with software stuff.

Tapping MORE, I found, PRO, which is manual settings, MACRO, PANARAMA, NIGHT, FOOD, SLOW and MOTION, HYPERLAPSE.

I found the SMOOTH THE SKIN filter, a black and white filter that takes 10 years off my age, a sharpen the chin, a give yourself a different tone of skin, and used in the photo below. 

Movie Star Me done with filters. Note: if you meet me on the street, I may not look like this photo. I have seen Julia Roberts beautiful on the screen and unrecognizable in street clothes, not in person, ONLINE of course.

Did you notice my hair is almost back to normal, after EIGHT weeks.

I might have found Silly Stickers, Masks and MORE I also might Have Played and Saved with different filters the Silly Me below.  But Wait! there's More... but NOT today..
