HeeHee…isn’t that how it always goes? I find myself being that same way!! Poor Earl!!

Actually they are having a conversation already. Maybe not a good one, but one nonetheless.

What terrifies me is when a woman says, “We have to talk.”

No, nobody has to talk. It never goes well.

How did they stay together so long. LOL

Hurry Earl, call Nelson over for relief!

Poor Earl. Damned if you do and Damned if you don’t/

I have a better idea. Take your dinners out to the living room and eat in front of the TV. Anything’s better than this.

Maybe this is Opal’s attempt at humor?

Jor-El said, ”What terrifies me is when a woman says, ‘We have to talk.’”

Well, usually what she means is, she has to talk, and you have to listen.

Earl, I feel your pain - I REALLY do! Can’t start a conversation with ”She Who Must Be Insane”, without her starting to SCREAM!!!

So, she’s always saying - sorry, YELLING: ”You never talk to me”…….I give up.

Opal: “Earl, does this dress make me look fat?” Earl: “no more than the one you had on yesterday!”

And that’s when the fight started…

Talking can wait till the supper finishes first; otherwise, the meal on plate will become cold.

“We need to talk,” means we’re in trouble because she needed to hear something a while ago & we didn’t say it. Lacking psychic powers we don’t know what she wanted to hear or when. “I love you, beautiful,” in the morning & “How was your day?” in the evening are usually sufficient, though.

My motherin law talks so much if you dont answer when she asks a question she will answer it her self.
