Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for July 24, 2012
Transcript:
Cathy: If I buy the sensible four door with room for kids, am I opening the cosmic door to having children...Or will all prospective men ignore me because I look as though I'm already a mother? If I buy the sporty two-door that screams "single and childless", do I look available, or do I just look desperate? Do I present myself as a fully equipped motherhood package...Or as a carefree single gal? Which will my potential mate respond to?? What will appeal to him?? What's he looking for?? Man in grey suit: She's back, and this time she's brought her hypothetical husband.

Tap those ruby slippers together three times Cathy, and repeat “There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”

Panel 1: All prospetive men? Panel 2: DesperatePanel 3: He’s looking for something other than a nutjobPanel 4: She shoulda brought Irving. He’s one step above hypothetical.
Morning Susan, neither a nutjob nor hypothetical. Morning lightenup the fully equipped motherhood package (how’s lightenup jr and lil lightenup lately?)
Hello fellow Cathyites. Hope you’re well. Love you too Mom! :-)

This will be the most complicated sale you’ll ever make, salesguy… good luck!Cathy, please just buy a car that you will like, not one that sends a made-up message to hypothetical people.Good answers, Aaron! LOL!! Good morning, millie and Aaron! Aaron, you seem pretty awake today – hope that means that you’re feeling good and getting some sleep. lightenup jr is doing well. Yesterday she had her BFF over all day and they had a blast soaking each other with water guns and water balloons. I keep reminding her to comment on comics, and she keeps forgetting. I’m sure she’ll remember today because we have cleaning up the house on the “to do” list today. lil lightenup is at cheer camp all day today and yesterday. Considering there is no AC in that place, she came home hot and tired. But she’s ready to go back, so it was a good thing, I think.Have you talked with Billy? How’s he doing? How is your recovery going? Hugs to all of you!Hello to GsMom, Billy, KFG, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli, mollie, AnonaMona, Bronzepony, simpsonfan2, legaleagle, Hobbes and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

My own “car needs” are attended to by my chauffeur, for which I am very glad. Too many to choose from – like so many things in modern life. But when he’s away from home . . . I don’t go far!
Another day . . . nearly halfway through my own “single” time. But my OH will (should) be back at the weekend. So, Aaron – keep strong, and keep smiling. The time does pass.

Get the two door, you can always trade it in when the husband and kids come later! ;)

Sadly, I know someone who thinks this way. As I recall, she thought a jeep or station wagon would make people think she was lesbian

Getting from point A to point B while looking good. That’s my point. :-)

Who cares which car you choose, Cathy?!? You’ll never be able to do better than Irving, who, for whatever reason, was MORE than willing to come over and spend time with you on Saturday while you sat in front of your “idiotic t.v.” all day like a “big, happy blob in a dumpy sweatsuit eating carry-out”!!! I say . . . grab that guy before he comes to his senses where you’re concerned and tries to get away!!!!!
HI, AARON & DR. BILLY!!!!! Aaron: Once again, another yummy-looking dessert courtesy of Dr. Bill’s mom! Since I can’t be there to have a bite myself, please be sure to have one for me instead!!!!! ;-) Good afternoon, lightenup, lightenupjr., K.F.G., Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, Gator007, legaleagle48, mollie05, AnonaMona, soonergal, Willi Nilli, Bronzepony, millie p, Andi J, samfran60, Terri, janinabarnes, Hobbes (if you should happen to drop by) and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. As always, great to “see” you all!NE1956 over 12 years ago
Mom does not play favorites. Very often. And Billy we have no idea what you’re talking about.
Nite nite lindz.coop, hendelca (still missing you), serenasakitty, and kittycatpawsare You know Ms Kitty, that is one very hard name to type. :-D
LMB buddy — D O N E! LOL His butt almost caught up with his front.

Hi Cathyites!! The sales guy should just be thankful she only brought her “hypothetical” husband — wait til she brings the real thing (Irving).
Billy — not “pathetic” at all — perfectly normal beh — 6 weeks is a long time to be separated especially when you haven’t had that kind of separation before. Also, you’ve both just been thru a traumatic event (nearly losing Aaron) and there’s some recovery time needed for that. Just remember the separation is for a good reason!!
Aaron — lemon squares — a favorite and from Cooking Light too — that means I can still weigh in legally.

OOPS! I left off the “y” in Dr. Billy’s name above in my post. Sorry about that, Dr. Billy!!!!! ;-)
rgcviper over 12 years ago
OK, Cathy. Let me try to put this as succintly as possible, for your lines to the salesman:
“Car … look good … drive well … I buy!”
