Smart-alecky…but true!

You’re one to talk Opal, seen any mirrors lately?

At least he’s eating a sandwich and drinking water. There are worse things he could be eating and drinking.

…to say nothing of the smart-alecky wife!!!

He’s suffering from consumption.

I think Opal added that advice

Everyone’s a *&%!# comedian…

Usually they say do not take it on an empty stomach!

If Earl was a truly dedicated smart-aleck, in reply he would vomit right then and there to empty his stomach in order to take the pill according to un-structions. (—

I put the dose of synthroid that I will be taking that night in the bathroom so I can take it during one of my many trips to use the facilities. Synthroid is supposed to be taken 2 hours after or one hour before eating.

Love Roscoe’s expressions

Trust me. It won’t.

I am sure the pharmacist didn’t make that cutting remark. It had to be the shrew, Opal.

About that moment, I’d take Roscoe for his five hour walk.

“SMART-ALECKY”..?? -- Is that a WORD.????

Now that I am retired, I understand all too well how food can become a hobby.

Opal ALWAYS adds a cheap-shot.

Makes 2 of us

Most seniors tend to eat less and less as they age because loss of appetite, sense of taste and smell. Earl’s bucking that trend! Way to go, Earl. You go…uh guy!

Like most Americans, it’s a challenge to find a time to take a medicine on an empty stomach. First thing in the morning is probably the only time that’s true.

I wonder what’s really in that medicine bottle? Is it Milk of Magnesia, strychnine, rat poison or cyanide. I bet it’s not Viagra! She’d be complaining because he’s keeping up all night! ;-p
