Reminds me of a woman I once knew who announced to her husband that she wanted to paint the dining room purple. “I think you should reconsider that.” She did. Exactly three months later, he came home to a purple dining room.
There’s that hands-on-hips thing again that women do.Earl better be careful..Panel 5,(or tomorrows strip), will have him with a drop cloth over his head..
When I was a volunteer on the Sumpter Valley Railroad Restoration project, we always had folks coming by with urgent suggestions on what “we” should do next. I’d usually point to the tools and reply “Fly right at it!” Only one time did anybody actually pitch in and do any work themselves!

When they were dating, Opal probably thought comments like that were cute.

Just the thought of it makes me tired! Life disrupted for about a week — and that’s just choosing the paint!

My response after 30 years is, “Good luck with that.” She hasn’t left yet, no reason why she should now….

I know better than to even mention it. I just go do it myself.
