Cathy (from phone): Want to have lunch tomorrow, mom? Mom: What happened, Cathy? Is something wrong?? Are you sick? Are you hurt? Are you worried? Are you lonely? Are you sad? Do you have news? Good news? Horrible news? I'll stand by you to the end of time! I would crawl on my hands and knees to be there for you, baby!! Cathy: Dads have lunch. Mothers have banquets.

Deep breath, Cathy’s mom, deep breath. And pu-leeze, Cathy, don’t lump all moms into a crazy category like yours. There’s no way that I’m like that.Good morning, legaleagle and Susan! @Susan – I like when my name is capitalized… it looks official. :-)Hello to GsMom, Billy, KFG, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

Admirable sentiments, Cathy’s Mom (do we know her name?). Too bad they’re coming from the Nut Job Supreme. Crazy mom needs a chill pill.
Ruh ro, Reorge. I’m apparently in the dog house with lightenup. Wonder what I did this time? Sigh.

Cathy’s mom’s name is Anne. As in Anne-other baket case!

All Hail, Anne Andrews, “Queen of the Nut-jobs”!
Only Cathy’s mom would take something as simple as a nice invitation to lunch (especially this close to Mother’s Day!) and blow it so completely out of proportion that it’s become completely unrecognizable from its original intended purpose . . . which is to spend some quality time with her mom!
HI AARON AND DR. BILLY!How was the strawberry rhubarb pie yesterday? By the way, I’m still craving a piece of cake (I prefer chocolate but at this point, I’ll take just about anything!)! Guess I’ll just have to force myself to wait 4 more days until Mother’s Day before I can have some then! ;-)
Good afternoon, lightenup, K.F.G., Susan, rgcviper, gmforde, hendelca, lindz.coop, soonergal, summerdog, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, Gator007, legaleagle48 and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. As always, good to “see” you all!

My mom reads Cathy every day. She promises never to be this kind of mom. Whew! What a relief! :-D
hi mom!Aaron gave me an extra nice hug for making the pie. It was (bragging intended) exceptional.
Hiya lightenup and evening crew. Basketball at GWU tonight, so I’m off to change. Later . . .

The thought from Cathy’s mom is nice, but AACK on going overboard. Made me smile, though.

Hi Cathyites!! At least my Mom was never anything like this!!! (Actually I once met Cathy’s real Mom and she wasn’t either, but I hope that doesn’t ruin it for anyone). I guess the message is supposed to be “the only time you call is when something is wrong” — the ultimate guilt trip — sigh.

My good news is that I’m no longer secretary of our HOA!! I am now vice-president, which amazingly is less work. The funny part is that my neighbor John, who drives me nuts, is now secretary because he was the only one left to take the job. I’m sort of laughing inside, although I’m sort of wincing because he’s not comfortable with gmail and he doesn’t have the best way with words, but hey, it’s not my problem any longer, right?
