Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for April 21, 2010
Transcript:
Saleswoman: The hot new style in handbags is the jumbo "BUCKET BAG"! No compartments! No dividers! Just dump everything in one giant opening and root around with your hand when you want to find something! Cathy: Why not just buy some drawstring trash bags and haul everything around in one of those? Saleswoman: Don't be ridiculous. Trash bags only come in white and black. They'd be too matchy!

Makes about as much sense as a lot of the stuff they try to sell!

You know Susan - it’s just a comic strip.

Those bags sound terrible. You must look like such a moron rooting around in those.

That’s the kind of bag you haul stuff in when you head to the beach; a prelude of what’s in store for Cathy…?

Cathy will have to purchase one of those Kangaroo bag liners that are advertised on TV.

Sign the trash bags with a permanent marker, then sell them as “designer luggage/ raingear”.

–personal note– Everyone, I just got the test results for my daughter and they are NORMAL!!! Now we just need to figure out what’s really causing the pain in her ankle, but at least we can mostly rule out rheumetoid arthritis. THANK YOU to everyone for your prayers and thoughts and concern. You all are the best! :-))

Wonderful news, lightenup!

Good for you two, lightenup. I’m glad some support helped get you through it. Your example of waiting hopefully is a good one for us all. I know someone who got a biopsy and diagnosis of end-stage lung cancer, but further tests revealed it was something much more treatable. Science is supposed to serve us, not drive us to despair! We’ve all got to use the experts’ information with patience and care.

White and black are “too matchy” ?? I’ve never heard of clothes or … is it “accessories” that you call them? … being called “matchy” before.
But it sounds like a good thing for stuff to go together rather than clash. Why wouldn’t it be??

They make clear trashbags too. that might be a better choice.
She can also buy a few bucket bags, and use they can all use them as feedbags, with the way they eat.
I can find anything in my purse in a second, without looking. I get a lot into that little thing too.
Congrats, lightenup. I hope it’s either just growing pains, or something manageable. Hopefully it will go away the same way it come along, as many things did for me.

Dear Lightenup, I concur, indeed it was wonderful news!

i now see folks with those jumbo bags, like tote bags, but from grocery stores, made of recycled bottles and such - that’s now their purse so, same difference but more expensive

I notice that several of you have really neat little pictures next to your names. How do I go about getting one for my on line identity? I’m new at this and sure could use a little help. Thank you.
