"In order to take advantage of an opportunity, one must first recognize it"
I've always thought that if it was my job to write them, it would be hard to resist throwing in a zinger occasionally--something like "Your car is on fire in the parking lot"
Confucius say, "This thread not dead!" :D
Craig I've never had a fourtune cookie I feel somewhat left out now :( and I love chinese food mmmmmmm in fact I just love food lol
Don't they have Chinese restaurants in England? :confused: I also love Chinese food! Eating Chinese food was a great part of my diet for awhile. Eating it is part of how I lost so much weight over a period.Quote:

Getting a fortune cookie is a normal part of going to a Chinese restaurant, at least it is where I live. How about just asking for one the next time that you are at a Chinese restaurant?Quote:

Confucius say, "I gotta go to bed so that I can get up to ride with people for two gigs that we are playing at over the weekend out of town." So long, for now!. Will be back in full force on Sunday night!
After my father's funeral in 1972, the family went out to a Chinese restaurant for lunch. At the end of the meal, we opened our fortune cookies. My mother turned white as a sheet and said, "Oh my God!" She handed me her fortune... it said:
Do not despair. He is well.
I swear, this is a true story. Can you say "synchronicity?" :)
Synchronicity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(by the way, Clough, this was in Rock Island Illinois at a now-defunct restaurant in the block just east of the Post Office; I think it was called "The Chinese Kitchen")

Amazing how messages that are so appropriate seem to come at just the right times.Quote:

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally unrelated. In order to be synchronous, the events must be related to one another conceptually, and the chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small.
I thought that this one was kind of cute! :)
"Your future is embarrassing. I can't even talk about it without curling right back up."
You received THAT in a fortune cookie?? Hahahahaha!Quote:

Hey, Didi! So good to see you back and active on the site! You have been sorely missed! :) :p :D
Actually, I didn't find that particular fortune cookie in a cookie. I found it on the Internet and thought that it was clever! :cool: :)
"Life will return to you are prepared to put in it."
I'm not sure that I quite understand it? :confused:
I can be kind of dense, you know!
I keep one by my computer, as it were. Just because it's the most awesome fortune I've seen from a cookie.
"Art misunderstanding by calm, poise and balance. Lucky # 18, 6, 55, 17, 19, 20"
Pfffffftttttt!! Corrections made! :)
Thank you, Didi! Now I understand. Sounds like the kind of fortune cookie that I also need to receive right now! :)
Hi! Clough, Didi,
I just wanted to join in. My grandson and I have movie night on Friday nights. This consists of a bottle of cola for him and a bottle of wine for me and some Chinese take away. Our Chinese take away guy is very generous and often pops bits and pieces in the bag along with two fortune cookies. In the beginning, too busy with my food and wine to be bothered reaching for my glasses, I let my grandson undo them. He got such a good result and put such a smile on his face that I now let him read them each week. So far they have all been quite positive.
I got one once when I was going through stuff, I kept it for a long time then lost it. It said, "Life is not a fortune cookie!" I was in Glasgow at the time and that is quite typical of the Glasgow humour.
PS. Didi, Good to see you back. Hope alls well. The meeting with his mum went really well and he learned that he has another three brothers, that makes 5!!! He is looking so much happier. Thanks for all your advice.
A co-worker said to me add "between the sheets." to your fortune cookie sayings. It makes them quite interesting.
How true! :)Quote:

Interesting. Very interesting. :)
Googled 'fortune cookie' and got this -
And finally my favourite -
"The shortest distance between two people is a smile."
Probably so. Not much room for guessing there! LOL! :pQuote:

It's one of my favorites, also! :)Quote:

I think you've got a point there. And I think the last paragraph is closer to the real me.
I'm going back to the fortune cookie bin and opening every one until I find one I like. ;)
