Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for July 26, 2012

Don’t flatter yourself, Cathy. It’s called “desperation to make a living.”

They are getting desperate

Now you need to try that approach with men, Cathy, and they’ll be falling all over you (well, at least until they figure out you’re lovingly nuts ;-)).Good morning, legaleagle, Gator, Susan and Aaron! Loved the photo you posted yesterday, Aaron! LOL!!!Hello to GsMom, Billy, KFG, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli, mollie, AnonaMona, Bronzepony, simpsonfan2, Hobbes and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

Well, first of all, for the three of you to disappear.

Hi Susan later in the day (can’t believe it’s already Thursday). Morning lightenup The pic last night came in email from a ‘’Picture of the Day" type of site. Couldn’t resist. :-D Morning AnonaMona I’m thankful for your kindness. Hello fellow Cathyites.

Did you see last night’s photo I posted? Still making me laugh. :-D

I was interested to see that you economise on the laundry bills by wearing the same shorts on your legs and your arms . . . !!! Brilliant pic though! It is nice when they catch your best side.

(I used to like taking weird and wonderful photos too!)

Now if only Cathy knew how to give off this same “pinnacle of desirability” when it comes to her DATING life! Unfortunately for Cathy, though . . . it’s not HER they want — it’s her MONEY!!!!!

Aaron: A deal’s a deal and I actually don’t mind admitting my real age since I still feel young enough not to lie about it (yet!) and a lot of people say I look about 10 years younger than I really am anyhow . . . I am currently 43. By the way, yes, I saw last night’s picture and it’s completely adorable . . . just like YOU!!!!! ;-) Good afternoon, lightenup, lightenupjr., K.F.G., Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, Gator007, legaleagle48, mollie05, AnonaMona, soonergal, Willi Nilli, Bronzepony, samfran60, janinabarnes, simpsonfan2, Molly mcgee, Hobbes (if you should happen to drop by) and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. And if you’re new here . . . WELCOME TO CATHY’S NUTHOUSE!!!!! ;-)

43? Owwwww . . . same age as my son. Can anyone lend me a bathchair?

Goodnight lindz.coop and evening crew. I haven’t been up even 12 hours yet but I’m tired. Well, that’s one word for it. Plenty more. Restless. You could take it from there.

This is exactly the type of high pressure salesmanship that let me to walk out of the Chrysler dealer and into the Honda dealer next door. That was a couple of decades ago and we still buy Honda vehicles exclusively. Wow – a weeks worth of comments in one night. Sure missed a lot including another delicious desert! The double vacation was great but it is good to be back here with my other friends. The camping reunion weekend was a success (as always). With the total fire bans for most of Ontario (and the park we were in) we kind of stood out. One advantage of having stage lighting and special effects for a hobby is that you have access to some very realistic fire effects. We had the only legal fire in the park and so realistic that we got a visit from the camp warden with a complaint about the fire we had the previous night. When we showed her the effect, she thought it was really cool. If you ever get a chance to see Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil DON"T MISS IT! It was one of the best performances I have ever seen (and I have seen quite a few). The music, dancing, singing, acrobatics, effects, lighting (I always watch the last two quite closely) were outstanding. (and, yes, I am still on a high after the performance in spite of driving 6 hours to get home today). Anyhow, it is good to be back. Good night Aaron and the rest of the Cathyites here tonight. And KFG – glad you made it safely to Chile!

Hi Cathyites!! I’ve been in this same position — only it was salesmen telling me that I HAD to take a really low-ball offer on my house. I held my ground and got the asking price a few days later. One of the agents in the office was actually calling me names (not my own agent, but one of the others). At the time I was also going thru a divorce with my ex’s parents living in a camper in the driveway. All seems like a bad dream now, but was not a good time in my life. Don’t give in Cathy!!!!!

Welcome back hendelca — don’t know where you were in Ontario, but we found the same thing when we were there — absolutely no fires or fireworks.

It was a very cute picture Aaron!!

Likely answer to the questions in the last panel?

“For you three to put a sock in it.”

Oh, wait—that’s just me. Never mind. Ha.

LOL @ Cathy….all those men asking the right questions I’d have them eating out of the palm of my hand….lol…….loving it here!….don’t want to leave….not as hot as I’d thought it’d me, did have a crazy thunderstorm last night over 50 houses got flooded, so i was helping some families where I’m staying bail water out…….kids were having fun going down the street on rafts…..didn’t rain all day today, but supposed to rain Saturday…we’ll see……….miss you all! (you know who you are)

Guess it’s just kittycatpawsare to arrive in a bit. I went to bed a couple hours ago and read half (and finished) the latest Vince Flynn novel. Steve Berry is up next. I love spy intrigue and thrillers about covert ops. Good stuff. Vince Flynn, Daniel Silva, Steve Berry and Brad Thor help me to lead a ‘double life’ as a spy for awhile.

Anyway, had to see if KFG came around. Can’t say I miss ya KFG since you manage to still come around. But I do think about you. :-) Nice to see hendelca back as well. Yay.

how can i add an avator to my page? Rhozbud324 thanks
