If Earl doesn’t wake up in the morning Opal is gonna regret griping at him about something so ridiculous as claiming that knowing he was blinking kept her from sleeping, she’ll wish she could hear him blinking again! (And regret is a horrible feeling!)
I can remember while my father and I were watching TV, he sitting in his recliner and I on the sofa about 10 feet away, I could hear his Bulova wrist watch ticking.
They seem to take turns irritating each other. He gives as good as he takes. Didn’t he shrink her sweater a week or so ago? It is how they “get along.”
There’s nothing funny about a woman so bitter, contentious, hateful, and self-centered that makes her feel entitled to harass someone who loves her for blinking.

would Opal still have trouble falling asleep if even a pin dropped?

Put a lid on it, Opal, or Earl will lash out and browbeat you.

Oh, Opal, for heaven’s sake. Take a chill pill.

When your eyes are open, Opal, you’re blinking too … over 14,000 times every day.

And even if he went to a different room, Opal would KNOW Earl was blinking and stay awake.

Opal and Earl have begun to make me sad. They are not very fun to read anymore.

Opal does not need a reason to nag Earl. She does it continually.

Call Ripley’s Believe It or Not, because while Opal is long past menopause, she displaying PMS thinking.

I’ve always thought Opal was a bit of a shrew. I mean I get it, Earl can be unobservant or even thoughtless at times, but geez, Opal.

Opal is lucky that Earl is “broken in”. If she had a younger man (or model of husband), she’d wish Earl was back.

The other day this subject came up on WPVI. There’s a name for her problem. IIRC, it’s “misophonia.”
