You ever get a fortune cookie that did not have the fortune inside?
I cracked open one Sunday and nothing inside. What does this mean?
I opened one about 3 years ago, and it said "You will change occupation soon" |

Without the message, the fortune cookie should eat itself. I had this happen once before a few years ago. |

By leaving the cookie intact but empty, you at least know it's something very bad. |

Possibly that things will go so badly that you will assault the interviewer, and things will descend from there. No, you'll be fine. I made it all up :-) |

By leaving the > cookie intact but empty, you at least know it's something very bad. I'm going with this: SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment," said Zen teacher Charlotte Joko Beck. "This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath." While I appreciate Beck's advice, I'm perplexed why she put such a heavy emphasis on lessons that arise from difficult events. In the weeks ahead, you'll be proof that this is shortsighted. Your teachers are likely to be expansive, benevolent, and generous. http://freewillastrology.com/horoscopes/ |

His position had being eliminated but he were stuck with the jerk while they tried to find a place for him. We ordered Chinese food in for Christmas Eve lunch and one of us got a fortune cookie with a fortune that said something about having a lot of leisure time in the near future. We fished the fortune out of another cookie and slipped that one in its place and made sure that he got it. |

I do, I like them. I stop by the fortune cookie factory when I'm in Chinatown and buy seconds too. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

I always wanted to create new, hip fortune cookies that were humorous. Like "Uh-oh! You might have salmonella!", or just a simple "FOOD POISONING" or "puffy can= botulsim....sorry." Okay, the elder crowd might not enjoy it; but the yutes would. |

I eat fortune cookies too, it's bad karma not to... once you open and read the fortunes you must eat the cookie or bad shit happens... I remember opening one and finding three fortunes. |

One recently went up for auction and sold for $65,000! Unfortunately, once you crack one open it's pretty much worthless. For fairly obvious reasons, these things are as rare as roaches that can fly so we should not worry about it and just enjoy the CFC for what it is - a stale cookie with cheesy sayings and messages of false hope. |

Well, either it was God or his immaculate baker. |

I didn't have time to study for the drug test, so just made it up as I went along. I had to take it right after the interview. It seemed pretty easy though at first I thought it was going to be difficult. Drinking lots of water a bit before the test helps... I had test anxiety at first but then everything seemed to flow smoothly once I relaxed. |

("Drug test" usually means being tested for drugs in your system, but you said you had to study for it.) |

It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery, and death. I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that this cruelty too shall end, and that peace & tranquility will return once again." |

I could be living in a solipsistic universe. Maybe we are all. Which maybe is why some say we cannot "share" grief... OTOH, I do still seem to be still composing-- and not decomposing... Though that may be debatable. |
