Pickles by Brian Crane for June 10, 2019

Not a Disney princess, but I think Opal here is either the queen from “Snow White” or the stepmother from “Cinderella.”

That’s cold, El—I mean Opal.

It doesn’t matter what she’s doing. She doesn’t need to hop to it the minute you need something. Why don’t you sew your own button on since you popped it?

Let it go, let it go; can’t hold it back anymore; let it go, let it go; turn away and slam the door! ♪♫

I always thought of Opal as the daughter of darkness. Stay out of my life.

Earl next time say “Please” ……. And “Thank-You!” It does help ;-)

You might want to take up sewing lessons, Earl!

Earl should know better than to ask Opal to do anything….sewing 101…..DO IT!

Come on…. She didn’t say she wouldn’t sew his button on…. just not right this second.

He’s the one being impatient, and seemingly making a judgement call that what she’s doing isn’t as important as what he wants.

 

Doesn’t she have a right to find out whether she’s really Ariel, or Belle, or Aurora, before she does his bidding?

Or has he decided she has to forever remain his own PRE-fairy-godmother Cinderella?

Luckily, we know it’s all teasing… or we should.

 

And what’s with the Malificent comparisons?

Earl and Opal both like to joke and prod and needle…. both are funny, and neither is unhappy or nasty.

They love each other… it’s their way of getting along.

Those internet puzzles can easily drive you to distraction!

If guys could do their own laundry and sew their own buttons, we wouldn’t need wives…….Say….now that I think about it…..

I have a canvas coat that rejects buttons, even tried dental floss the secure them.

It’s a 3-step operation: Go to closet. Pick out a shirt. Wear it. Or, as Alondra said, sew your button on your shirt yourself. (It’s NOT difficult.)

Opal will be shocked when the website tells her she’s the Wicked Witch, especially since the Wicked Witch isn’t even Disney.

If it’s the typical “click bait” quiz, you are going to be occupied for a LONG time!

Me? To heck with it! It’s a man-thing to dress like a slob, especially long after retirement begins.

While in the Boy Scouts in the mid-50’s, our Scout Masters taught us all how to sew/repair said buttons on our uniforms.

Sew what,Earl ;)

" I said I’m BUSY"!!!! lol

I annoyed the hell out of my ex once by coaching him through sewing a button back on his own shirt.

Now that Disney owns Lucasfilm, does that make Princess Leia a Disney Princess?

That is SO ADORABLE!!! <3<3

Cinderella without the prince or the fairy godmother or the beauty or the voice or the mice or the pumpkin or the glass slipper or…

Hmmm, maybe not.

Just a thought here – doesn’t Earl own another shirt?

So, Opal, do you know which house you’d be in at Hogwarts???

Geezus, Earl, get a bottle of Elmer’s glue and glue it back on. . .

Earl would be totally lost without Opal to take care of him. He’s screwed if she dies before him.
