    I’m not condoning her dumpy house, but she should at least make an effort. Now he’s going to wonder what sort of conditions his beloved dog has been kept in. Call the SPCA! ;-)Good morning, Susan and Aaron!You reminded me, Susan, that I forgot to wish everyone Happy Pi Day yesterday! Oh well, never too late to celebrate Pi Day with some pie, right?Hello to GsMom, Billy, KFG, gmforde, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

    She finally became a realist. It won’t last very long though. Once Irving leaves she’ll be back to her usual bizarro self, the one we all know and love.

    Good morning, all you Cathy fans out there! Actually, I think Irving should clean her house as a big thank you for taking care of his beloved dog. ;-) Well …. I can dream, can’t I?

    I scramble to clean the house whenever I am getting guests over, regardless of whether they’re male or female, family or friend.

    If I left my beloved dog with someone I thought I could trust to properly take care of her while I was out of town for a few days and then I came back to this mess . . . I’d be like “What the HELL was I THINKING?!” and that person would never be allowed to watch my little baby again. Irving’s absolutely right. What a dump!

     

    K.F.G.: You’ve got a lot of concerned friends here wondering where you are and if you’re okay. Let us know soon!

     

    Good afternoon, Aaron, Dr. Billy, lightenup, K.F.G., Susan, rgcviper, gmforde, hendelca, Mona, lindz.coop, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, soonergal and all the rest of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. As always, good to “see” you all!

    Funny how if a girl’s dwelling is messy, its a dump, but if a guy’s dwelling is messy its boys being boys. Sheesh.

    Oh yeah baby, I’m with Mom! on this one. Irving, take your Vivian and run as fast as you can. I bet she doesn’t do that at home since messes like that take at least two raucous puppies. Little Muttley Beagle isn’t at that level yet.

     

    saxie5 made us laugh. Billy and I are boys being boys, but our home is very neat. We hate clutter and we despise coming into a room that’s anything like Cathy’s. Makes me shudder. I take it that you ‘had to be there’ to understand Susan’s humor. My vintage movie knowledge is sadly low, though Kate Hepburn standards are within our realm of knowledge.

     

    Hazmat (hazardous materials, in English) training is going well. Been there / done that before. It’s an every two year training item, depending on what we need for knowledge. I’m updating my skills with dealing with all types of toxins and spills and how to fight them properly as a fireman. The reason I’m blind in one eye is getting a face full of a solvent that we should have put out with foam. It was being illegally stored with legally stored construction material. We’re supposed to have an up-to-date inventory of all warehouse stores in and around DC. Losing my best friend on the squad, only because he went in first (I was right at his back), was heart-wrenching. He died of respiratory distress because the stuff got into his lungs. It actually ate through our masks and air hoses. I got at maybe half of what Jon got. It was the last time of several times he kept me out of full-on danger. I asked yesterday about specifics of that particular solvent. We’ll get an upclose and personal look at it Wednesday. It’s gonna be a little weird staring into the eye of the beast.

    Three words that should not be used together: triumphant self-respecting dump. My Mom wouldn’t fall for that. Actually, Cathy’s mom wouldn’t either. Geez.

     

    Hi evening/late night Cathyites. Aaron and I are spending the evening hooking up our new 1080p Apple TV streaming box. (I added ‘streaming box’ because Apple TV implies an actual HD TV which it doesn’t. Yet). It was a gift from some of our GU mates for Aaron’s birthday.

    lightenup re: your note from last night — might be like finding a needle in a haystack. KFG is definitely missed, but I’m not sure if she’s offline for a reason or because she’s bummed or even waaay busy. ?? I dunno. I’d love to see her come back though.

    Hi Cathyites!!

    @Soonergal — Ooooooooo — such a great idea!!

    @Saxie5 — for guys it’s a “bachelor pad”

    Wasn’t “Beware the Ides of March” from a betrayal of Julius Caesar? E tu Brutus? Or am I confusing it with something else?

    @Aaron — I cringe at what happened to your eye and to your friend Aaron! I hope the training makes it never happen again.

    @Billy — Gee what a nice gift for you guys!!

    Looks like Cathy’s abandoned cleaning efforts just made the situation worse than it already was. That seems to happen to me a lot — whenever I start cleaning, things just get worse.

    As a comic character, Cathy just has an uncanny ability to make the eyes roll. Seriously—does she practice how to do this? (That’s why I love her, though.)

    Hello, everyone.
