Pickles by Brian Crane for April 26, 2012

That’s a nice boy, Earl. Sit up and beg.

Earl doesn’t know it but Opal’s feeding himdog treats.

Small pieces of fudge. I would help my wife and she, me, but we always thanked the other. Politeness and formal manners are even more important between husband and wife than they are between strangers.

Guests always need to respect the affairs of other households and couples unless asked — that or leave…

works for me

I thank and compliment my wife on the things she does around the home. I appreciate the work it takes her to keep things up, provide meals… I don’t expect any thanks for keeping up things like the lawn and doing maintenance, but doesn’t hurt to compliment each other.

If Hilary Rosen doesn’t think being a homemaker is a real job, it’s because she never did it.

Like E18’s comment best !!

I’d be holding bacon.

I’ll bet she isn’t married….at least not any more, that is.

My ex used to say that I shouldn’t expect praise for doing my job. He never understood that praise and appreciation are the lubricants of a relationship.

Treat your company (guests) like family and your family like company.

Pearl always remind me of Mrs. McCluskey from Desperate Housewives.

Score one for Opal

If the gun is holstered (even if loose in the pocket), you are packing; if in the open in the hand, you are waving.

I would bet she wasn’t married – unless she lived in one of the states that allowed it – if she could find someone who was as miserable as she is.

You shouldn’t thank your wife, she should do what is expected of her..Turnabout is fair play.

I thank my wife on a daily basis for the things she does (cooking dinner most of the time, vacuuming), and she thanks me for stuff I do (cooking breakfast, doing dishes, taking out garbage…). Since when is it a bad idea to thank someone for doing even that which is expected?

I’m not even going to send this one to my wife. :)

I always thank my husband for helping me and tell him how much I appreciate him. Then I tell him I’m lucky to have him (which I am). It works for us.

We are often kinder to strangers than to our own loved ones.
