For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 08, 2018

Quick, Elly, turn off the TV for him and take out as well as hide the remote’s batteries!

This is the reason why they tell women in business that you can’t use passive communication with men, or they will never understand what you are saying. That said, Elly’s passive communication is pretty funny with just two eyeballs and a nose by the end.

Also, “Cover me Sam. I’m going in there” is a reference to Dick Tracy and his associate Sam Catchem.

The Warbling Clamsuckers would be a good name for a band.

I always turn the volume down low and turn on the subtitles. That way, I can watch TV as late as I please – not a great habit!

This is exactly what wireless headphones are for.

Just whack him with the pillow, Elly.

Better late than never (though she’s probably wide awake by now!

Noise never bothers me when I’m going to sleep. The only thing that bothers me is changing the light.

That’s why I don’t have a tv in the bedroom.

Given the fact that most bedrooms contain a tv, it’s no wonder statistics have shown a shrinking birth rate. But also given the behavior of some age groups, some couples should have installed bedroom tv the week after the wedding.

We have a TV in the bedroom, but we also have an agreement that if one of us wants to sleep, the other goes to the living room to watch TV. Besides, we read more than we watch TV in the bedroom anyway.

In over 35 years of marriage, we’ve only ever had one TV and that’s the one in the living room.

Absolutely and positively – NO tv in the bedroom ever! Bedrooms are for other activities. Sleeping of course, what did you think?

They could try separate bedrooms.

The t.v. in the bedroom is for my wife. I never watch television in the bedroom.

She normally goes to bed much earlier in the evening than I do and has a couple of favorite telenovellas until she falls asleep. I watch my programs in the living room and crash about midnight.

I was never one to lie in bed, and watch televison, to go to sleep….watching from my La-Z-Boy and falling asleep, is another story !

John the least you could have done is lowers the volume or even just put it on mute

It is time to Elvis Presley that squawk box!

Have never and will never have TV in the bed room.

In Elly’s day, women did suck it up and endure it because we were taught that was the thing to do. Now, many of the more modern women of today would yell a few obscenities and grab the remote away. I’m not saying it’s wrong…but it sure is a faster end result!

Never, ever have a TV in the bedroom, or a computer, or anything other devices. The bedroom is for two things and one of them is sleeping.

We have a TV in the bedroom but no one ever watches it. It has a 9 inch screen and is analog. I would get rid of it but it’s so old the recycling places won’t take it.

ever heard of subtitles??
