Pickles by Brian Crane for August 20, 2013

WISE !

Reminds me of a “Stone Soup” a few days ago. Evie blabs and blabs whereas Val has earplugs.

If IF’s and BUT’s were candies and nuts, we’d all ……….

Great idea, Earl!

You can’t go backwards with what if, you’ll never really know. Move forwards with what if to find out, go to Art School Opal, turn off that hearing aide Earl!

What If I’d given my great uncle my allowance to invest when he started a little company named Techtronics?

I’ve found " what if’s ," can be exhausing and doesn’t change a single thing.

She’ll go on and on, even if she has to use semaphore flags. It’s called “communicating.”

What if you stopped asking stupid questions?

What if the Rogaine had worked? What if you mistook Earl for the cat?

The older you get the more “what if’s” there are. Maybe Earl ought to start overlapping Opal’s “what if’s” with some of his own.

Opal, Remember those dirty socks of Earls…stuff them in your mouth.

Ah, yes… Apparently Earl has been married for a while. He’s learned the secret of “inside words”.

I often turn mine off, Earl….

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but I mighta nota become the person I am today.

Opal wants attention today! I don’t blame her. I sometimes do the same thing what if?

That is the best thing about hearing aids, I always have ear plugs with me.

I wouldn’t blame you, Earl.She does go on a bit doesn’t she?LOL xxx

What if our parents had used contraception?

My dad used to sit on the couch and turn off his hearing aid and fall asleep. When he’d wake up, he’d turn it back on and sit on the couch with his eyes closed and just listen to what was going on.

I “what if” silently; my smile drives my husband crazy.

What if I had taken that internship with that famous archeologist and worked on site at Machu Picchu ?

;;Naw..that never happened I just like to say Machu Picchu(sounds almost dirty)

More like “Wild Turkey 101”to have taken Opal home.."

Ah, the shoulda, coulda, wouldas.

My dad wore a hearing aid…funny how sharp his hearing was when you muttered something derogatory that he wasn’t supposed to hear—while if you were asking him for help or telling him something mom said, it was, “Hah? Can’t hear you!”

“Cat talk”? Seriously?? Two things: “Feed me” and “What can I kill now?”
