Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for July 20, 2012

Someone should get her a cup of coffee!

Good morning everyone – I´m honored to do the first comment today, it´s lunchtime in Europe now.

So Cathy is the center of the universe at work. Hmmm. Go figure.

The center of my universe is shifted about 470 miles southwest, but we’ve adapted, mostly. His voice cracked last night when he said goodnight. LMB sat in my lap to make me feel better.

Susan beat me by one whole minute. However, we have arrived :-). Morning lightenup have you got it together this morning? You registered a 5.1 on the Richter Scale by the way. :-D

At least you are needed and in demand, so that’s a good thing, Cathy.I spent most of yesterday feeling around for the parts of my head and I think I’m all back together now, but for a while there, I was using Mr. Potato Head eyes.Hello Bronzepony and welcome to the Cathy nuts! Where are you in Europe? Hope you make us a part of your day!Good morning, Susan and Aaron! It’s almost the weekend!Hello to GsMom, Billy, KFG, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli, mollie, AnonaMona, simpsonfan2, Hobbes and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

I used to have a Mr Potato Head – and I had to have a real potato to bring him to life!

It’s days like this that make you just want to turn around and go home! Today, I feel for Cathy. Good morning, everyone!

What is this about “After 34 years, Cathy says Goodbye”? Is this the end of this strip now?

Thanks Susan Newman and Lightenup! I live in Germany, reading the strip and comments for a long time. Just felt it was time to join in now. Have a good weekend!

Hi everyone. Just thought I would stop in to see how everyone is doing. Or maybe I should say ‘rolling’ in? I’ve seen the desserts posted here.Welcome Bronzepony

LOL! I can’t comment. Aaron’s Mr. Potato Head has me laughing too hard, tears running down my cheeks.

A quickie before saying goodnight: my folks are upgrading their Internet service and router over the weekend, possibly into next week. There may be interruptions in service so if you don’t see Aaron on, no worries. For those of you who know anything about Internet speed, they’re going from 50/25 to 150/65 so Dad can work at home more often.

I’ll be on the road tomorrow through Wednesday next week on an NIH project. Probably won’t get online but I’ll try. No worries . . . we’re fine. Well, ’cept poor Mr. Potato Head because lightenup is being a little piggy with his poor eyes.

I, too, feel for Cathy today. Wonder if there’s a polite way to say “Buzz off, bozos!” … ? :)

Happy Friday, all.

Based on Cathy’s popularity this morning, maybe there really IS something to the statement she made on Monday regarding “No one could do what I do here!!” And to think I thought she was just being delusional!!!!! Who knew how close to the truth she apparently really was?!?!?! I sure didn’t!!!!!!!!!!

Life is a little better now that we’re back online regarding cable t.v. and internet service. We finally got some much-needed rain last night although not as much as I would have liked (approx. 4/10", our first really significant rainfall since June 1st, when we got 9/10" that day. We’ve had some traces of rain a few times since then but nothing all that helpful when we’re having such a drought) but along with it came some thunder and lightning, which knocked our service out until late this afternoon. If the cable company hadn’t had a last-minute cancellation today, you probably wouldn’t have seen me again until next Tuesday! Dealing with our cable company is NOT easy, that’s for sure. It sounds like we may not “see” much of the two of you for the next week. Just know that we’ll all be thinking about you and look forward to your return again soon!!!!!

Welcome Bronzepony and Triviaguy! So glad you could both “stop by” and “see” us today!!!!!

Good evening, lightenup, lightenupjr., K.F.G., Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, Gator007, legaleagle48, mollie05, AnonaMona, soonergal, Willi Nilli, Sauccy1121, Hobbes (if you should happen to drop by) and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here tonight.
