Transcript:
Cathy: I ate the low-cal potato slad made with egg-free, lactose-free mayo... A lite tofu dog on wheat-free gluten-free bun... Sodium-free, Mr. Puffed brown rice chips..and a slice of fruit-juice-sweetened, crust-free apple tart. I will now eat some real potato salad, a real hot dog on a real bun with real potato chips and a nice, big piece of real apple pie...because if I don't eat the real food, I won't feel I've experienced the real holiday. To some, "healthy alternatives." To me, "healthy appetizers." Charlene: Want a scoop of frozen soy dessert-like substance before I bring out the real ice cream?

Don’t waste your time and calories on the fake stuff… real food all the way! Tastes better and is usually better for you too (in moderation, of course)!Good morning, Cathy clan! Today is Lil’s birthday…Happy Birthday, sweet Lil!!! Love you!

And a friend’s grand-daughter is six today. So that makes it a great big Happy Birthday to Lil, Leo, Leah and Jessica!
P.S. Yes, I know Jessica breaks the pattern a little bit. But her surname begins with an L!
;-D

I agree with this approach – healthy food doesn’t have enough fat grams to satisfy me, so it’s just an appetizer.

Real vacation = real food. It is not a vacation unless you indulge in tasty food. Health food is for at home. Of course, my vacations do tend to be a week or less so no real damage is done over-eating rich foods in that short time frame. Happy birthday to Lil, Leo, Leah and Jessica L! I, too, would attend a GoComics Cathy reunion. Would love to meet all of the Clan!

It’s a miracle she was able to stomach all the imitation stuff before reaching the main course. Personally, I would not have had that kind of patience.
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, Clan.

Yuck . . . or should I say “AACK!!” If I went to a picnic and all they had to eat was this “healthy alternative” stuff, I just wouldn’t eat anything at all! For the love of all that’s holy . . . life’s too short to eat this kind of crap unless it’s absolutely medically necessary (which, for me, isn’t) so I think I’ll just stick with the REAL food — in moderation, of course!!!!!
Hi, rgcviper!
lindz.coop: (in response from yesterday) . . . Yes! A GoComics reunion definitely wouldn’t be the same without Aaron and Dr. Billy there! I wonder where they are and what they’re doing? I fear the worst but I hope for the best and that they come back again soon. Miss them so much!!!!! :-(
Hello and Happy Sunday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Happy birthday to all the young ones here (by way of our special little “family”) . . . Leo, Leah and Jessica L.
And a very SPECIAL happy 8th birthday shout-out to our little Lil!!!!! Hope it’s a really great one, sweetie!!!!!!!!!!
