Pickles by Brian Crane for September 26, 2024

Par for the course

Earl’s luck changes rather suddenly.

Earl has another OLD BAG he’d prolly like to get rid of

She should wait a week to spill the beans.

Spouse does that to me from time to time. Has a REALLY DIFFICULT time understanding that our preferences simply don’t match a lot of the time. I’m still peeved about the time she donated my favorite comfy / TV chair. Because she didn’t BELIEVE I could actually like it when she disliked it so much. And replaced it without my input with a chair that was massively NOT comfortable, though I guess it was “pretty”. I now have one that’s ALMOST as good as the one she got rid of, but the fabric is too slick and you can’t remove the pillow to dig out pocket change (or whatever you dropped). (grmbl)

If the truth be told, he would go through the bag and see if there were any clothes he might want to keep!, Out of sight from Opal of course!

Goodwill doesn’t take old Harridans!

Low blow.

Why is this woman always so mean?

All the old clothes that don’t fit anymore.

Coffee-stained sweatshirts are “in” this year.

I’d go empty HER closet out and see how SHE likes it. And sit on the bags with a cup o’ joe to make her iron it all, too.

Hey, be fair, now! Opal tried tossing one of Earl’s nasty, ripped, stained sweaters in the outside garbage, and he brought it back in and WORE it! Eww!

Makes sense since Opal wears the same outfit every single day lol I always wonder about that.

I’m sure he’ll return the favor, in one way or another.

The sweatpants are probably in there.

Did Earl really want to keep that old Star Trek-Captain Halloween costume?

My wife takes my stuff to Goodwill also. I don’t miss it until I’m looking for it. She doesn’t know what happened to it.

My wife and girlfriend put their unwanted clothes in the free recycle clothing bin, mine get torn into rags for the workshops.

Wow, this is so incredibly rude! I would never do that to my wife, and I really doubt that she would do that to me.

stay safe everyone in path of Hurricane Helene, evacuate if told to do so, storm surges and rain totals are going to be life threatening (•︵•)

Hard to believe they’re still married……

now wait a minute here! doesn’t he have a say in this? :L

Well, that doesn’t seem fair!

OMG! That was me about 6 months ago. I’m helpful that way. In my defense, I did ask him to do it first. “I’ll get to it.” was the response for months. Then I got to it.

I hate when my wife does this.

Keep his undershirts for dust/cleaning rags.

Earl can buy them back.

Seems like opal goes outta her way to irritate earl…..just sayin’…..

Rip those bags open and check, Earl! Your comfy pants and favorite old grungy sweater are in there.

Gasp! I suppose you threw all my high school sweat pants and sweat shirts away too!

My mother was a hoarder but a NEAT hoarder; her house was hospital clean. After she died, we found clothes in her closet that were so many years out of date, we decided even Goodwill or the Salvation Army wouldn’t want them. We donated them to a theater company in the hope they could be used as costumes.

My wife must be related to her.

Attagirl………sorry Earl!

Better inspect those bags, Earl!

Polyester leisure suit. Mustard yellow suit jacket with Kelly green plaid. EGAD!

But her 60 year old moldy wedding dress is still hanging in the basement.

So, now that she has gotten rid of all of Earl’s old clothes, what will he wear tomorrow?

I’m sure he’ll find some things at Goodwill to bring home.

Opal, don’t ya think you should’ve asked his permission first?

Opal is extremely thoughtful.

Underwear and ancient fantasy jockstraps included!!

His arms are reaching out and his hands flex as he seeks his revenge,

I know somebody who tried that…her husband just went to Goodwill and bought them all back.

Those bags would go right back in my closet, and she would get an earful of why you don’t take other people’s things….
