Did earl just knock the cat off the sofa?

All you need to know is whether its light or dark outside.

What, no wall clock? Micro Wave Clock? Oven clock?

Tap the ‘display’ button on the TV remote. Muffin probably got up to see if Earl was doing something interesting.

Hmmm, it’s probably a digital sundial.

I don’t use my phone, its display is too small to read without my glasses. Instead I check the time on my MP3 player.

Is it time to go fishin, or time to take a nap?

The sundial is probably the only one with the correct time.

I never could wear a watch, the watch band bothered me, so the cell phone works great for me.

Does Opal apparently lose her cell phone that has a time? Ahh, Opal, you can borrow my clock.

I still like my wristwatch with the LARGE numbers. Don’t even need my glasses to see what time it is.

All this time Opal and Earl never got Nelson to program the VCR or, set the clock…

I visit my mom in AZ once a year and have to reset her digital clocks because the power went out sometime during the year…

Grog, I took the sundial reference as a sarcastic remark. In other words, the sundial would be quicker than waiting for Opal to find it. My take anyways. :^)

Yeah, but you’d think they’d have a grandfather clock or something, ♠Lonewolf♠

That would have worked too, Grog.

One advantage to a wristwatch–when you need to do something at a specific time, like a meeting, I find a watch easier to glance at and find out how close I am to having to stop what I’m doing and go to the meeting.

A friend gave my husband a clock when he retired that had all the numbers lying in a jumble at the bottom of the clock. On the face where the words, “who cares”

my (28 yearold) grandson gazed at my sundial in the backyard, and asked me what it was. that stunned me. i DID explain it to him, tho. “Cool!” :-p

Earl, you might have a problem if it is night time.

Ya know?
