What Opal said may seem harsh but it is truthful . Learning to deal with pain in it’s many different forms is one of the parts of life that sucks ;-( …. So move the ball forward and move on ;-)
Nonsense, Opal. At your age you’ve surely learned that an hour of happiness feels like a mere minute, while a minute of sadness seems like an eternity. It’s a subjective thing.
I have a 2X 3" piece of amethyst. A little girl that rode on the school bus I drove gave it to me. Beautiful, many shades of amethyst, from very pale to really dark. I thanked her, sincerely, asked her where it came from. She said, “My uncle Jack gave me a big ball of rock. When I asked him why he said it was because there were pretty colors inside. I didn’t believe him so he got the hammer and hit it. I know you love purple, so this one’s for you.” I still have the rock and 40 years later am still friends with her.

The worst advice ever given by anyone at any time: “Get over it”

Harsh but wise, I suppose. Perhaps Nelson will quote her at Earl’s memorial service.

I know Opal wouldn’t do this, but it could be even harsher:

Gee, why does she remind me of my wife?

Not exactly the best way of phrasing it, Opal!

he brought a handful of broken stone into the house and dropped it on the carpet and Granny’s not mad?

Roscoe in every panel, how cute. AS for grandma… really, this is why women outlive men, they are evil.

I hate when someone is so insensitive….

That was dismissive! Inappropriate response.

Please keep the political comments out of these COMICS. Put them somewhere else like in the trash can.

I wonder if she’d say the same thing if he broke some heirloom vase of hers. I can just see Earl or Nelson saying it to her.
mistercatworks almost 3 years ago
She could tell him about broken hearts but better just to let him start with the little things. :)

No reason to be sad. It’s just “stuff”.Now if a friend was ill or injured then that is a good reason to be sad.
e.groves almost 3 years ago
I hope he remembers that for the next time she’s feeling sad.

You can find sympathy in the dictionary Nelson. Right between shit and syphilis.
zeexenon almost 3 years ago
Obviously she doesn’t watch the TV version of Youtube with the Gorilla Glue commercial every 10 minutes.
MuddyUSA Premium Member almost 3 years ago
Roscoe agrees with Nelson!

Reassemble the geode with a clear adhesive.

He originally dropped it outside; so how did all the pieces suddenly show up inside?

That advice from Opal and others who give it is fine ’til something like this happens to her/them !

Rejoice with him who rejoices; weep with him who weeps

Well at least now the kid knows what he’ll say at the old bat’s funeral.
