Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for October 06, 2012
Transcript:
Cathy: Hot dog buns from 1998...Petrified peas...Crystalized ice cream...Ancient leftovers...Too old to eat. Too wasteful to dump. Can't cook it. Can't get rid of it. Can't move it anywhere. Can't do anything except let it just sit there for another year. No wonder it's called a freezer.

If it’s too old to cook or eat, then by definition, you’re not wasting it if you dump it, Cathy — so throw it out already! eyeroll

I’m sure you could compost some of it like the frozen veggies for example.

Cathy, when all else fails, doing something is better than doing nothing. Toss everything. The rest of us would learn a lesson from that. Howver, you can go shopping and fill the freezer with new stuff that you’ll never eat. (Wow, you are so weird.)
Morning Susan. We got in after 2:00 a.m. so Aaron is in Neverland for a while longer. Hi frightenup Aaron needs to work on his Spidey-senses. He lost the ability over the summer to “see” you and you stepped on him yesterday. He said “ouch”. :-D
Hello Cathyites.
Hi Mom!AnonaMoaner about 12 years ago
I’m amazed that there are any leftovers to store! Or is that why, nowadays, Cathy swallows everything, having no freezer space available?
QuietStorm27 about 12 years ago
Just toss it Cathy. Next time only shop for what you need each week.
Hello frightenup, legaleagle, Gsmom, Aaron and the rest.

Oh just toss it all, Cathy! Take it as a lesson learned, and don’t do it again. But that wouldn’t be our Cathy, I guess…Good morning, legaleagle, saxie5, Susan, Billy and Anona Mouse!@ Aaron – I’m sorry I stepped on you yesterday! It was a complete accident! And I didn’t have time yesterday to check later in the day, so I missed it. My sincere apologies!!

Toss one old item a day, Cathy, without buying anything new (tall order, I know). That’s not too overwhelming to think about. Just think about all the ice cream that will fit in there after about 2 months! Happy weekend, Cathy Clan!

Cathy not understanding the concept. Once again, my eyeballs spinning like a slot machine. Ouch.
Hi Susan More like afternoon when I woke. That’s usual but it eats into my quality time with my Billy. frightenup no it was only a little ouch. Ladies first you know. (I was gonna make a wise crack there, but why ask for trouble?)
Hello shyygirl. scaredycatsarge10 good one! We’re still working on ours. Too early. Probably the week up to Halloween.

Our Cathy is quite the nut-job, ain’t she? [Eye-roll]
Hope you’re all having a nice weekend.

Cathy . . . not only “Queen of the Nutjobs” but also President of the “Freezer-Cleaner-Outter Procrastinators Fan Club” too! She needs to follow the old adage: When in doubt, throw it out! It’s utterly pointless to keep a bunch of old food in the freezer she has absolutely no intention of eating, letting it take up space — space that she pays for every month when she gets her electric bill — when she should be getting rid of it and filling her freezer with new stuff that she will eat instead. [eye roll and a sigh]
Aaron: Love you too!!!!! You know you don’t have to feel bad about anything! I know how busy and tired you are and it’s okay if you forget!!! I don’t mind and I could NEVER be mad at you!!! :-)
Dr. Billy: Sorry I had to miss the luscious-looking Black Forest Pound Cake from yesterday . . . but I made sure to bookmark it in my future to-make file though. YUMMMMMM!!!!! ;-)
frightenup: Hope you’re feeling better today and less stressed regarding all the rude people you encountered on Thursday!
