Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for December 05, 2011

I don’t make phone calls. I do email. And online comments that make people think I’m a bit really really weird. Sigh. I yam what I are.

I’m surprised that no one is ‘home’ this morning. I have a couple hours yet to go. I tol’ the doc to be gentle and leave my weird funny bone intact. Gotta love me. :-D

Morning Susan when you arrive. Morning lightenup. Two of your suggestions for my name are also on my list. Two great minds. (Kinda scary). Afternoon Mom!! when you come looking for us. KFG is either working or sleeping. And good morning to our other Cathyites who like the insanity as much as I do. :-)

I’m not sure I understand this one. Are they saying that humans don’t talk to each other in person, just on the phone? Now, it would be more like texting another person while they’re sitting next to you. When I’m with someone, I try to be focused on them and not my phone, so I don’t like it when it’s not reciprocated. My husband is guilty of this, although I try to be understanding because of his job, which has issues 24/7. I guess it pays the bills…Sorry, I’m running late this morning. I got a call when I normally start reading comics, and I just got off the phone. School test scores came out last week, so that’s on our minds here in Wisteria Lane. ;-)Good morning, Aaron! While I’m surprised you’re running late like I am, I’m not surprised that our timing is close. I hope everything goes smoothly today, and I’ll be anxiously awaiting any update. Fingers crossed and hugs for you!Hey KFG! Thanks for the tip! My kids are 6 & 8, so they’re young enough to believe in Santa. I think the 8 yo is not sure, but she wants to believe, so other than some probing questions last year, she’s on board and there’s no arguments about what’s true. Hello to Susan, nannygram, GsMom, Billy and all the other nuts that come rolling this way today!

Evidently, in the eyes of a dog, all humans ever do is talk on the phone. if we could jump ahead to the present, I wonder how Vivian and Electra feel about riding in the car while Cathy is talking on her cell phone!

Aaron: Good luck with your eye surgery today! We’re all wishing you great success in getting your complete and total vision back soon . . . and with “Six Million Dollar Man bionic technology”, how could it possibly fail?! (Oh, and by the way, when the doctors tell you to rest and do nothing . . . then just DO it! It’s for your own good!!!!!)

;-)

Good afternoon, Dr. Billy, lightenup, Susan, K.F.G. and all the rest of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. As always, it’s good to “see” you.

;-)

Play? Okay. Run around? Okay. Chase things? Maybe okay. I’ll pass on that 4th one. Geez.

Billy checking in from MN. Our bud is still in surgery. Might be a long wait. 3+ hours so far. He doesn’t know I’m here. All things considered, this is the only place I’d be.

@ Billy – Thank you for the update, and you’re a wonderful person to go 1,000 miles for Aaron. You have a heart of gold, and I hope everything goes better than perfectly.

Marathon session … done. :-) Wow 7 hours of intricate micro-surgery. I can’t see him for another couple hours.

lightenup 18 years of a great friendship and deep love. 1000 miles is a walk in the park.

See you all tomorrow. I finally realized I’m famished.

Best wishes to Aaron for good results!!
