Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for February 28, 2013

Now dark chocolate is on the good side. Yay!Good morning, Cathy clan! Have a great day!!

Grapefruit juice and grapefruit diets have been declared to be total fails. Don’t fall for any so-called diets that have only one dominant ingredient, unless you want to turn into a grapefruit, a parsnip, or an egg. lol

Hi Cathyites!! I don’t know how to add a “link” but there is an discussion with CG included in the “Makers” site. The show aired Tuesday night, I didn’t see CG on it, but she is included in the daily discussions they have on AOL — may also be on other sites. If someone can tell me how to add a link, I will try to add it here.

I love grapefruit but can’t have any because of the statins I’m taking. Of course, different doctors and pharmacists have not necessarily agreed on the grapefruit ban. My mom is on the same statins and eats half a grapefruit every morning, and her numbers are excellent. Does anyone have an opinion on this debate?

I’ve never tried it myself. I won’t eat grapefruit because it tastes so sour to me and I’m just wondering if grapefruit juice (like from a can in the store, or at a restaurant, like where Cathy and Charlene is) is just as sour-tasting? If so, I’d probably lose weight on it, too, because it would be pretty difficult for me to drink very much of it. I’m with Cathy on this one: if you’re going to “cheat,” it might as well be with chocolate!!!!! ;-)

Hi, rgcviper!

Hi, lightenup! Hope you’re feeling well today. And I totally agree with your comment yesterday regarding time spent conversing with a friend being time well spent! Even while on my cleaning frenzy last summer, I didn’t spend every minute of every day doing that either! I also mixed in other activities of some form or another every now and then (including the occasional dinner out with my best friend!) just so that I wouldn’t get burned out and give up out of frustration right in the middle of the whole project. Looking around at how neat and organized everything is, I feel very proud of myself for finally getting it done and wishing I had done it sooner. But better late than never, I guess!!!!! ;-)

Hello and Happy Thursday, fellow “Cathy” nuts! Can you believe it’s the last day of February already?!? Hopefully the month of March will start bringing nicer weather for those of us that don’t live in nicer, warmer, sunnier climates during the winter time!!!!! :-)

The website that I always use for a guide when posting things like images and links is;http://home.comcast.net/~ccdesan/Pibgorn/StyleGuide.htmlSo use the “Embedded Link” section for what you all want to do. I can help if it still doesn’t work for you all…

Don’t worry Mom, you’ve got competition for “Queen of Computer-Stupid Land.”

Ok, I found the link — www.makers.com/cathy-guisewite and yesterday’s “maker” was CG..

Thanx lightenup — I’ll work on your suggestion too.

Mmm—chocolate …

HI, MOM. Regarding links, I always look at the page lightenup posted here. Good luck with making them work.

Greetings, Clan. It’s almost Friday!
