that hurt

That’s twice in a week now — he should invest in a more stable chair.

Eenie meanie chili beanie…the wi-fi is about to connect!

She never listens.

Doesn’t she know that she’s supposed to stick her tongue out of the left side of her mouth also?

Opal seems to be getting more and more violent lately.

He has Nora Batty socks.

Some advice…, Sell the house, buy two mobile homes in the same community, one his, one hers. He can have Roscoe, she can have Muffin, everyone’s happy.

Is there a router in the house or is she using her daughter’s router?

We took a trip to my hometown last weekend. Casually, I asked my mother for the wi fi password, for the benefit of the ears of the GF. My Mum has no wi-fi. Or laptop, tablet or cell phone.

Does Opal help Earl get back up every time she pushes him over? He’s a slow learner.

What did Bugs. Bunny say? “What a maroon”!

I thought Earl would pull the old “There she is, Miss America” joke!

He forgot to tell her to scream like a chicken.

That chair gets a lot of punishment, lol!

It’s Earl that got his “Wifie” broad-cast loud and clear.

How did Earl survive so long with no sense of self preservation?

Maybe if she had only clicked her heals together …

[ … and said “There’s no place like a home that gets WI-FI.” ?]

I think yesterday’s knockdown was better…of course, I’m partial to when it includes Roscoe…

The Great Wi-Fi is telling her it’s time to give her phone a rest for a while.

My mother actually tried to do that to my father and his chair, and was not successful. I would have paid to see the attempt.

Opal we don’t have internet!

At least she caught on before much ado…

Isn’t that what Linus did? for pumpkin, not wifi of course

Hmm… I’ll hafta remember that….

My phone “Connected to wifi, but there’s no Internet”. Good thing I rarely use it for anything other than calls and texts.

but when it does “priceless”!

earl seems to be spending a LOT of time in this position in his chair.

This EXACT gag was superbly portrayed in the movie “Flashback” by Keifer Sutherland and Dennis Hopper. It’s HILARIOUS!!!

Owa taigoo Siam.

That seems to be a regular POSITION for him these days…….

Oh my God,earl…WHEN,if ever,will you learn?

Got to hand it to you Earl…..you got guts

sounds like a dad joke from back in the days of adjusting the rabbit ears on the tv

Waitaminnit – doesn’t everyone try that trick? 8-D

Get a landline.

Ha! I see There’s more than one way to turn a router off and then on again!

Oh I definitely have to try this at the hospital I work at. Verizon reception is outstanding, AT&T is absolutely terrible.

Depending on the frequency and its lambda, I chant Poof, Poof, Piffles, Make me just as small as Sniffles!.

Second day in a row Earl has gone upside in his recliner.

Roscoe ….. must be “LOVING” your side of the bed ……. Earl ……. and by your antics this week …… He’s going to have it for awhile …….. :)

What made me laugh was that Earl knows what wi-fi is for!

This hits home because due to some contractor cutting a major line, I am in the middle of a 10–14-day internet outage. I’m using a Bluetooth connection from my cell phone to my laptop. This is no fun.

OH – WAH – TAH – FOO – LIAM.

Have you tried rebooting all the routers and servers between here and Timbuktu?

You’d’ve thunk that would’ve worked.

She should have known he didn’t know anything from the start!!!

Whose WI-FI is she trying to pickup?

Looks like it works every time Earl.

It helps if your neighbor has a really easy-to-guess password!

Next door neighbor’s home is a airbnb with open wifi, so when mine drops, I use theirs ’til mine reconnects..

Nelson may fall for Earl’s nonsense, but he was a fool to try it on Opal.
