I get the same treatment Earl so don’t feel too bad . ? you want to do what ? I love the lovable Roscoe in todays cartoon , his expression in the last panel is priceless : )
In Mom’s last year I would see her at an assisted living facility every day. Most days she would just sit in the hallway in her wheel chair. She was so tired of TV. While we sat together I would stroke her hair like she did me when I was a child. My new wife was with me one afternoon and started giggling. I asked her what was funny and she said, “You’re petting your Mom”. I said you can pet her too if you’d like and Mom looked up and said, “Yea, you can pet me too”. LOL Human touch is a wonderful thing.
It did with my wife. She had been a masseuse in a medical complex for twenty years and taught me everything she knew. She was often quarrelsome but “making up” could take the whole weekend. :)

maybe putting your hand around her shoulder will help?

Now extrapolate that to the impact of marriage on your health and sanity

Earl should consider himself lucky that he still has a hand.

That’s not what ‘heavy petting’ implies.

Lesson learned, Earl!

It might very well lower your blood pressure while at the same time raising Opal’s. Best case scenario is it’s a tradeoff.

When they were both much younger she wouldn’t have minded him “running his fingers through her hair,” and Modesty demands I stop right there …

Maybe he just petted the wrong end…

That’s more a comment on Opal personally than anything else.

Try a scratch behind the ear and pat on the back(side). But not in public.

well I guess it depends on the attitude of the pet.

Depends on where you pet her. Nuff said.

If she patted his head, she should use some polish.

Did back in his courting days, heck Opal encouraged petting back then.

I’m disappointed at Opal’s negative reaction to Earl’s attempt to display his affection for her.

Roscoe certainly agrees.

My wife loves it when I scratch the top of her head with my fingers.
