Roasted.

Opal has no mercy.

they need further studies

ZING! I love the back-and-forth between these two, like watching a volley in tennis.

Oh, snap!

I deal with the public on a daily basis. That is NOT true. Some of the grumpiest people are older.

Does she ever say anything nice?

Sounds plausible.

Spouse agrees with her.

So, happiness is relative?!

Drop the conversation now, Earl!

What is going on lately , no Roscoe and no Buckles lately ??? : (

The main word in your comment is “some”. People these days are grumpy at all ages.

Very nice, Opal!

Some of the grumpy people I’ve met lately working in stores are younger than some my shirts.

Atta girl Opal. Always managing a good dig at Earl.

OK Opal, we’ll go with that. (Sigh.)

Wrong Opal!!!! Wrong!\

Gee, she’s a genius … always with an instant reply for any subject.

Oh, but you are SO incorrect, Opal.

Earl: “Hmmm? No, that’s not it.”

If you want to know if you are really really happy, you should check with your spouse.

And there you have it, Earl………..

if you’re happy and you know it⠄⠄⠄

⠄⠄⠄shut the hell up already

Happiness is asymmetric.

Doesn’t she EVER have anything nice to say..?????

As an older dog: most of the younger pups are impatient whippersnappers.

Sure, why not?

See how that works, he is definitely the smart one. Also, as you move through your life, gaining experience and insight, you start to suffer fools less gladly…and let them know it. Grumpy is in the eye of the beholder

Earl is not unique; one person is every relationship must be able to take a lot of crap and still stay around.

Another ego booster for the Mrs… thanks! ;-)

Touche

BA-ZINGA!

perfect

I know I have gotten grumpier especially since I broke my back!

I was in guest service for 35 years and age is never the issue, it’s performance and how you present yourself. Take pride and have respect, that works on any generation.

So says my wife to me every day

As the saying goes women live longer than men because men are married to women
