We now pause for 20 minutes while Opal retreats to the kitchen to do her ‘Zinnnnnnng!’ dance. She’s accompanied by the music of Bootsy Collins’ Rubber Band, playing ‘Stretching Out’.
A 75 year old man has a life expectancy of 11 additional years, women 14 years. Based on Nelson / Sylvia’s age they should be no more than 70. They have always been drawn as 70 year olds in 1964 (when 70 was really old) not 2024-big difference.
With La-Z-Boy recliners, the lever is on the opposite side, and pointing back is reclined. I know it’s a small detail, but for some reason this bugs me.

Who coined the expression ‘lazy recliner’, it is just a object to sit on. Objects don’t have emotions!

If you bet someone you’re going to outlive them, and you win, how do you collect?

I would do that. Only problem with it Mrs won’t let me have a La Z Boy. (It’s her house, I just live there!) :/

My! Isn’t Opal the witty one! Just remember that every nit you pick is a reflection of your taste in men.
