Pickles by Brian Crane for December 30, 2024

Spouse convinced me to volunteer at a Habitat ReStore after I retired. I enjoyed it, but quit during the pandemic and never went back.

Earl could repair leaky plumbing, but after his first job, the charity would fire him.

loopholes, disclaimers, out clauses . . .

don’t make a resolution without em

I made a resolution to quit drinking alcohol 15 years ago. It takes all of my resolution keeping powers to keep that one going.

I had a volunteer job I really enjoyed, got shut down for pandemic, and then everything changed, get buzzed to get in, new system on the computer, staff different. They were the best office crew I ever worked with. Not anymore.

I volunteer at a job as a treasurer, would like to give it to someone else, but nobody wants it!

How come she is sitting on the bench wearing her nicht gown and her slippers?

Well the good news is there won’t be anything good on TV

Earl is a practical man.

A lot of people would say that there hasn’t been anything good on TV for quite a while.

Always append your New Year’s resolutions.

Charity begins at home…and usually stays there.

That’s the dispirit!

Nothing wrong with that logic.

I resolve not to resolve.

Well, let’s see, one definition states, “a Resolution typically refers to a firm decision made about something, a determination to do or not to do a particular thing at a future time or date,” a loophole exists in there. I can resolve to do or not do anything I want to do or not do.

Yeah……… same HERE

Opal’s resolution should be to not be mean to her husband

It’s the thought that counts?

Earl stole my resolution!

He’s saying what we’re all thinking!

I help serve dinner to disadvantaged folks one night a week. Just do it Earl!

If there is Meals on Wheels in your area they rely on volunteers. As a MOW driver I can say that the people who receive the service really appreciate the service and the interaction with the drivers. For some people it is the only regular personal contact they have.

So, Earl has already accomplished his resolution or broken it. I can’t decide.

That sounds like our Earl!

Earl, Jimmy Carter would like a word.

Earl has a hard time making solid commitments. LOL

5 HRS……….Don’t be so dang generous !

I used to make a living from illustrating but since the comic industry collapsed in the UK, my work is published for next to nothing and so it’s practically voluntary.

Amen, is as concise as I can put it as a gimp of 81.

Volunteers are angels on earth.

The bane of much charity.
