They are both retired. He just sits and will age faster and Opal does all the work. It’s about time! Sadly, I doubt we will move on to his attempt to cook, although it should, since he thinks it’s such a nice relaxing hobby. Plus dishes. And cleaning the kitchen afterward. I want to see a picture of Opal sitting on her bum with Roscoe and the cat while he happily hands Opal a sandwich on a TV tray. That will never happen.
When he said “fun relaxing hobby like you”, he was trying to get to the thought of her being his fun relaxing hobby, but she derailed it from the get go. (My wife’s fun relaxing hobby is loading the dishwasher. Mine is watching her load the dishwasher.)

Roscoe smiling Earl cause he knows that once again you stuck your foot in your mouth big time.

What happened to the robot vacuum?

Didn’t he just say he wished he had a hobby like hers?

Earl go take Roscoe for a walk with your “Hobby” clothes on ;-)

Never worried about Earl’s brain health before, but after saying something like that out loud, I’m wondering

If you can’t lick em join em! LOL! Earl needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut!

Yeah, I steer clear, smile, provide complements and retreat into the garage.

Cooking can be fun, cleaning never is.

Roscoe is smiling because he has the couch all to himself. (I know)

How do we know Opal is mad at Earl?
Earl just said something.

Not sure, but I think Earl is beginning to dodder.

Even Roscoe saw that coming before Earl did.

I thought that Opal’s fun, relaxing hobby was knitting.

Earl gets what he deserves.

Because he knows how to keep his mouth shut.

What function does the apron serve when vacuuming?

Why does he need an apron to run the vacuum cleaner?

This is by FAR the dumbest thing Earl has said to Opal. He didn’t just put his foot in his mouth; he put the whole leg, swallowed and choked on it!

Earl needs think first, the speak second.

My wife and I have always shared the cooking and cleaning. Maybe that is why we are still married after 45 years.
