Hugs
I’m always disappointed by the fortunes I get in my fortune cookies. They are never anything to get excited about… that or my fortunes always turn out flat…. flat out lies!

Oddly enough. Almost all my fortunes have come out to be true, but usually have happened already sometime within the last week. So, I guess they are more recaps than fortunes.
Although I still enjoy fortune cookies, I’m always reminded of the film version of Stephen King’s IT… *shudder*
So you have HAD good fortune, NC. That’s nice, too.
I started to read “IT” and had to put it down… I am squeamish… so needless to say, I didn’t see the movie either. I was able to get through “THe Shining” but it was the scariest thing I ever read! DON’T read it at night, people!!!! (what was I thinking?)
Some years ago at a previous job, I went to a Chinese restaurant with some coworkers. At the end of the meal they brought out the fortune cookies and my tablemates did the thing where you append the words “between the sheets” to your fortune. Theirs were amusing. Then I looked at mine. It read: “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.”
Story of my life.
A good friend of mine used to say ” expect the worst, but hope for the best, and be happy with what you get.” That’s pretty good advice.
