Cathy: I called to cancel lunch with a friend. Got a quick update on her kids. Called to change dinner plans with another friend. Got a 35-second life review. Called to postpone a coffee date with someone else. Got a fast news catch-up. Called to bail on a party. Got a mini gossip review. My whole social life is snippets of conversations I have while getting out of plans to actually spend time with anyone. Sound-bite friendships. Emotional fast food. Unsatisfying. Unfulfilling. It's not enough for me! I need more and I will demand more! Hello. I want to supersize that last cancellation! Voice from phone: Great. I have six minutes until my next meeting!

Not only did this one inspire an [eye-roll] from me, I also physically shook my head. Uncanny, ain’t it?
HI, MOM. Good Sunday Morning, “Cathy” Clan.
Where IS everyone today??

Why does Cathy even bother arranging dates with “friends” when it’s so obvious [at least, to me anyhow] that she’d really rather not have anything to do with them whatsoever in the first place? She should just do herself — not to mention all those poor people — a favor and not make the dates to begin with. That way, she doesn’t have to bother calling to postpone or even just flat-out bail anymore and they won’t feel like they’ve got to cram everything they want to tell her into 35-second snippets and sound bites because she’s cancelled or “rescheduled” their date yet again for what seems like the millionth time in a row now. I’d sure hate to be someone in Cathy’s life who thinks they’re her “friend” if that’s how she treats all of them!
Hi, rgcviper!
Hello and Happy Sunday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Hope everyone’s been having a really nice weekend so far!

My little girl lives in NYC. She loves her life there. She takes TaChi twice a week in Chinatown. She lives to dance after work. She talks to me when she is on an exercise machine. She called Sunday in a rush voice, saying she was heading to Brooklyn for the beach.
She is having too much fun to cancel anything.

Also, my little girl is NYC playwright. Two friends and she produced a three day feminine play. She wants to get more into arts. I told her she is living in the heart of American Arts, NYC. Just stay single.

Yes, I have a son. He breaks women’s hearts. He tells me that is not his looks, but he knows how to talk to women. He picked us up from a trip. He had a pretty blonde with him. We found out she was a member of a London dance troupe, visiting LA. She said she loved his emails.
They always tried to change him, but even at near 40, I believe no woman will settle him down.
