Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 26, 2023

Alice knows better. Hence, she doesn’t dignify his statement with a response.Good morning, Balladears.

i wonder how this conclusion dawned on him

It’s worrying that she doesn’t already know that

Her serene smugness says otherwise.

Irvin is given to misconceptions.

Wanna make a bet, Irvin? BTW the dog house has new newspapers on the floor, it nice and comfy now.

Irvin does not know when he gave up his autonomy, but evidently it has slipped away from him.

(⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠) too funny!

Or of me, Alice!

Good morning Balladeers!

“And furthermore, the brand of tools is “Snap-On”!

Alice lives with many such an out burst.

Just keep telling yourself that Bub, and she might let you think it’s true.

The ring around your finger says different.

His insecurity is showing…Alice is steady as she goes…

Hi Happy!

Guess he hasn’t heard about the recent Ballard Street “Revolution”. (Hope he’s got quick reflexes…)

Read the fine print on that marriage document Irvin.. the fine print removed all of your rights.

True Irvin, Alice is the President, CEO, & Master of you…

Irvin finally got the nerve to say after 30 years of marriage!

Alice doesn’t live here anymore…that’s Margaret.

If you even think you have to say that … :)

My second wife was considerably older than I by two-and-a-half decades. She had all these “rules” from the 40s that I had never heard about. She tried to tell me I could not see women friends that I had known for 20 years. Do you have any idea how hard it is for a man to keep women friends for 20 years? Especially with a wife so jealous that she resented my cat. Guess what? I kept my friends and my wife eventually learned new “rules”.

Hahaha, who’s been telling you lies?

Malcom in the Middle reaches his Golden Years. You’re not the boss of me now and you’re not so big.

Alice thinks it’s amusing when he acts up like that. But only for a while.

Alice realizes the value of employees venting from time to time.
