Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for June 28, 2012

Ok so Cathy only knows how to lose friends??….that’s kinda sad……Irv you can lose all the weight if you live on water and sunshine..hee hee…..Hello all ye Cathy nuts! Lightenup, Aaron, Dr. Billy, Gretch’s ma, Susan, Hendelca (sp?..sorry) lindzcoop, gmfrode and everyone else who I forget to mention Happy Thursday :) Oh look first post!! Hee hee….

I just try to eat healthy…..but I do love seafood pasta..yum!……..and HAVE to have something with chocolate everyday…….well actually lately it’s been organic black licorice yum!……oh look- second post!……lol……sorry I couldn’t resist :)

Why would you lose friends if you’re on a diet anyway? I don’t get it….

Friends sometimes try to sabotage those on a diet. You have to beware…“you look too skinny” , when you know your clothes are too tight. Heathy eating is a good thing!! Little treats now and then shouldn’t hurt too much. Morning all you Cathy crazies have a great day I’m just going to bed…great day at the beach and the pool today and back to the beach tonight to build sand sculptures with the 3 kids in our group.

Panel 4 continuation: “But I do have experience in losing my mind.” I could really wind Cathy up by asking if she and Irving are now on a date. AACK!

Morning Susan even though you won’t be on until later today. Morning lightenup still sleeping I bet. (Just after 5:00 a.m. — we got an 8 1/2 hour drive ahead). Hello readers, hope all is well.

I think the only thing that you need to be worried about losing is more brain cells and sanity, Irving. mollie, you’re right although those type of people aren’t really your friends. Those are more your frenemies (enemies disguised as friends). I’m about average size, but have recently lost about 5 lbs. One of my (true) friends sincerely complimented me and asked me what I’ve been doing. She is really sweet and this only confirmed that.Anyway, sounds like you’re having a great time at the beach!Good morning, KFG!! You’re such a welcome sight first thing – I’m still sooo happy to have you back! :-)Good morning, Aaron! You’re right, I was sleeping at 5am, thank goodness. But I did get up at 6:30 unhappily… Anyway, hope you have a safe trip and enjoy!!Hello to GsMom, Billy, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli, mollie, Hobbes, legaleagle and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

If you’re all Cathy nuts, why are you always so critical of it?

Okay fellow Cathyites we’re heading to NH. Billy or I will check in before bedtime or tomorrow a.m., depending. :-)

Irving: if you dump Cathy, you’ll lose about 140 lb right away.

I have absolutely no problem at all believing she doesn’t lose pounds on diets — just friends (not to mention her mind too!). I think it’s about time she finds a better, more loyal class of friends to hang out with. Meanwhile, if Paula Deen of all people can go on a diet and lose 30 pounds despite the way she’s always cooked and eaten, then absolutely ANYBODY can do it!!!!!!!!!!

Aaron: Sorry! My bad regarding the NH/shore mix-up yesterday! Now why did I just automatically assume you were headed to the beach for 2 weeks??? I went back and re-read Dr. Billy’s post on Monday to see again what he said regarding your upcoming trip and, sure enough, there was absolutely NO mention of going to the shore so I have no idea why I jumped to that conclusion. Are there going to be apples to pick in the orchards while you’re there? If so, be sure to eat one for me! Or, better still, bake some in a pie! I just love . . . love . . . love apple pie!!!!! Oh, Great!!! Now all I’m going to be able to think about the entire rest of the night is apple pie and how much I’d really like to have a nice big slice and there isn’t any in the house right now!!!!! Oh, well. Hope you both have a restful, enjoyable trip!!!!! ;-)

Good afternoon, lightenup, lightenupjr.,Hobbes (if you should happen to drop by), Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, Gator007, legaleagle48, Willi Nilli, mollie05, Lewreader and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. Great to “see” you all!

Cathy has her priorities straight as always, I see. [Eye-roll]

Just a quick note for me… lots to do tonight! We’re leaving early in the morning, so not sure when I’ll log in again. I’m not bringing a laptop so I’d have to check in by phone. We’ll see how this goes…Anyway, also wanted to tell DOGLOVER8 that we really do enjoy this comic. We must because we come back every day to see what Cathy’s latest issue is and because we think her foibles are funny. We love Cathy like we would a crazy great-aunt, and out of that, we’ve all come together to make this a friendly place to hang out. I know we also root her on when she is being rational, and we understand that she’s only a comic exaggeration of many of our own personality traits. If I’m not able to log in on our trip, “talk” to you all after July 8!! Stay cool!

Hi Cathyites!!Have good vacations everyone (Billy, Aaron, lightenup (and I assume lightenupjr and lillightenup)). We too are planning on going to the cottage but not until at least Sunday (and that’s iffy because our littlest kitty may need surgery and I’ll want to stay with him if he does). Anyway happy trips!!

As for Cathy, I guess she only diets to talk about it, not to lose weight. That could be a big reason for her lack of success.
