This is just Earl’s quaint way of saying Opal. It takes you forever putting your makeup on.

Opal might be happier spending less time on makeup. She’s afraid that her friends will say “What the heck happened to you?”

I would say that Earl got a bit envious of a Bob Ross segment he recently watched.

Watch it Earl. You could be treading on thin ice—very thin!

I have NEVER noticed makeup on a face when I didn’t think it looked unpleasant compared to “healthy glow” … or even just “skin”. Bear in mind that if it’s so subtle that I don’t notice, then perhaps it actually did help (how would I know?). Exception allowed for “cover a zit”, though even there I would prefer a dot bandage or the like: “Don’t lie”.

Earl isn’t referring to Bob Ross, is he? Ross has been dead since 1995.

And here we will put some happy clouds… and happy tree…. and pissed off husband waiting for his wife to finish her makeup…

Earl, you’re about to knock over a hornets nest…..

Putting on your war paint huh, Opal?! Famous last words!

Earl must love being in the doghouse .

Putting on makeup isn’t painting. It’s assembly.

Be careful of what you say….or Roscoe will have a roommate…

Amazing they still show Bob Ross.

It should hit Opal any time now.

Earl you have to put that big mirror to use ! Otherwise tis just a large dust collector ;-)

There is a lawyer commercial on tv, a lawyer and his daughter who is also a lawyer. Anyway she was made up to the point she looked like a client from the red light district. Something happened and now she wears hardly any and looks so much better. Maybe she saw herself compared to one of those clients.

My ex took 45 min. twice a day to put her face on. Now my wife of 35 years only outs on makeup for family events or special outings. She is a real Irish-German beauty. <3

smart choice of words.

Had to complete a questionnaire re: my concerns/goals for having a second cataract remove. Couldn’t believe that one of the queries was: Do you want to be able to put on eye make-up? Fercrissakes: NO! I wanna be able to SEE clearly. . .

He’s making a comment about how long it is taking Opal to trowel on the makeup…

Referring to Opal painting her face.. a timely task

I think the next thing out of Earl’s mouth will be how Opal’s hairdo reminds him of Bob Ross.

Careful Earl or yours won’t be a happy little world.

Earl’s point is that Bob Ross painted a whole picture in 20 minutes and it takes Opal hours to paint her face.

I wonder if makeup sales dropped during the pandemic. I know I haven’t bought anything new in over a year.

Watching Pearl put on her make up juggled his memory.

Earl, subtract the time you spend sitting on the toilet from the time she spends doing her make-up. I betcha get a negative number.

“Starving artists” in Asia are cranking out motel-decor paintings a lot faster than that.

Doesn’t matter how much makeup Opal applies. She is still an ugly old woman.

Earl is me talking to my husband—-in one ear and never hits the brain.

Good one Earl

Earl is referencing the time it takes her to get her makeup on.

Earl – The artist starts with a blank canvas, Opal has to work with what is already there. A world of difference when creating a look.

Earl you are just about as subtle as a sledge hammer.

There are such things as reruns you know…..duh.

Earl must have been watching the Bob Ross Channel. It’s all Bob, all day and all night.

My hubby is happy I do not use makeup, now with mask slowing down for Sunday’s back to lipstick, In a couple of weeks may get that Pf vaccine.

The guy that showed how to paint happy little trees in a landscape using the wet-on-wet technique? The would be Bill Alexander on his show The Magic of Oil Painting. (Bob Ross literally got everything he knew about oil painting from Bill.)

When you need a dose of Ross.. https://pluto.tv/live-tv/the-bob-ross-channel

Bob Ross is on our Pbs station every night with his happy trees and clouds.
