Pickles by Brian Crane for June 23, 2010

You’re a big help Earl.

Then he could hold down the tarp with duct tape…

Or call the Thrift Store and see if they make house calls.

I have one of those tarps.

I guess this problem is too big to ‘sweep under the rug’

Earl, why don’t you tell her to do the laundry, like she nags you to take out the garbage, clean the litter box and on and on and on.

They must be needing clean clothes by now!! REALLY ~~NEEDING~~

out site, out of mind LOL today

this is what closets are for

Where is it written that she has to handle it all? Opal don’t waste time trying to hint, just tell Earl to get off his duff and help out a bit.

Right now a visit from their daughter would be interesting.

when I get enough for a load …I do it. Just one of the benefits of living alone !!!

Opal good way to let Earl know to stop procrasnating. Since reading the strip these past few days I wondered where this was leading Opal is trying to teach Earl a leson on stop putting of work around and outside the house or it piles up. Tomorrow I wonder what will happen?

Opal wants the problem solved. Earl has a solution. Why is it all the women who post on here don’t like his answer? ;)

Oh, EARL & OPAL!! Do something to get rid of these dirty laundry and throw them in the washer and then, let the washer washes them anyway.

Oops! Just remembered I left a load in the wash–yesterday Do I 1Wait for her to go out, rewash and dry, and fold 2 Admit my mistake and maybe she’ll figure I’m too stupid to do laundry and she’ll do it from here on

Do work or get scolded? Hmmm?

They should keep their laundry separate. Everyone does their own laundry at my house. I taught my dd’s to do their laundry by the time they were 12. My hubby and I have separate laundry baskets, so I just do my own when I need it done. Hubby does his own most of the time, but I tell him that if he takes his basket to the laundry room, then I will be glad to do it. Works for us.

I guess l’ve lucked out when it comes to doing laundry…hubby does it all. And it didn’t take long to teach him how to do it properly either. Of course, he’s retired and l’m still working so that makes a little difference.

Good call, Earl! LOL

Out of sight, out of mind!
