I found out after I got divorced, when I went to the grocery store kind of unkempt, girls hit on me. Maybe that’s code to girls that I must be single and available. Maybe Earl’s wife knows this….she doesn’t want competition from a younger floozie!
I wear my sweat pants to exercise class - don’t really care what other people think! I’m comfortable and ready to get them sweaty dancing to oldie disco music;-))
I wear my comfy clothes as much as I possibly can… If it weren’t for my job, I would wear them all the time, and I’m newly single too… I don’t care… :)
Why should he care what strangers think? It’s hard enough caring what people you know think. Phooey if strangers think you’re stupid. I often think they’re stupid, especially the way they drive.
I never could get used to wearing sweat pants in public, I have to agree with Opal about looking like a slob and ejcapulet about looking heavier, but I think the thing that knocks the most points off a perceived IQ is dressing like the urban youth do, with the baggy cloths and what not.
Nobody else said it, so I will- women of Opal’s generation were raised to believe that how their husband and kids looked was a reflection on THEM, and their abilities as a caregiver.
What you say is true Andy, but that was decades ago and Opal should have evolved by now. Too often she simply comes across as an ungrateful (she could be a widow) shrew (picking on unimportant things) and typically her sense of humor is reserved for ridicule. She reminds my of my dear departed mother, whom I pray to never emulate.
I have no idea how Earl puts up with that woman! Over the last several days she has told him he’s a fat lazy classless stupid couch potato! If she finds him so worthless why does she stick around? I guess if it wasn’t a cartoon they would’ve divorced long ago

Earl did’nt get a chance to get a word in edgewise in today’s script.

If I don’t have any to spare, then why should I care?

He already said all that was necessary. ‘Nope’ Life is mellower when you don’t worry about what people think.

They also add 20+ pounds to your perceived weight.

ejcapulet, somehow I don’t think Earl cares about that, either.

Its good to see that Opal and Earl can share their thoughts with one another, and not jump to a divorce over it.

I’m just glad that Earl’s pants aren’t sagging!

No kidding FishStix. But you don’t know what people will be like as they grow older. It’s a bleeep shoot that often leads to divorce.

Carmy, That’s what I thought. They don’t look half bad!

At my age, what other people think of me is none of my business.

Ha ha!!!! :) Well, my divorce wasn’t due to conversations like this… Otherwise, I’d be worrying about lots more things…
