    Yeah, I know the feeling. However, all I could think of was "why wasn't the text in that image handwritten?".

    But imo wasnˋt worth posting such a find as it is, on the other side if she would have written it by herself using a nice ink and a nice pen and posted it then................

    Hey Spidey, any chance we see it written like that from you?

    My comment would be more directed at the person who came up with the graphic in the first place, not the person who posted (in all good spirit, I am certain). Just pointing out the non-sequiter nature of the image itself, that's all.

    These picture quotes are mass produced things, you would hardly find a handwritten one, a 5 Minute thing, background picture + text, save, publish, done.
    I can imagine that there are even bots which create them fully automated (would be quite easy to program, take a quotes database, analyze key words of the text, choose from a picture database a appropriate tagged one, choose random font and color, put them together, done).

    I am aware of that, but my point stands. Someone, at some level, conceived it.

    If only tax return time meant that they return your taxes.

    So uh... does this work better?
    And how’s about a Parker 75 instead of a Parker Jotter?

    Pls pardon my “shitalics” though. =)
