Why couldn't I have found this fortune, saaaaaaaaay, a couple of decades ago???!!!!! :swear:

By my estimate, there are more than 7 billion of earths inhabitants that are guilty of this at least daily. The rest are not hominids.

The paradox of life is not knowing if we are calling a lie the truth or the truth a lie so life makes fools of us all, the trick is being OK with that.

You're wrong! The trick is to eat a steady diet comprised exclusively of fortune cookies. That way, and only in that way, can one quickly and efficiently learn the wisdom of life's lessons . . . . :)

See but if you had said "women are so stupid" then here would be the progression -
A few GG's would chime in and express their insultedness.
A couple CD's would come in ready to kiss GG butt.
Our "nice" moderator offering words of kindness.
A couple irrelevant comments.
A moderator would tell everyone to calm down.
A CD coming in to agree with the "Nice" moderator.
Another argument or two...

THEN finally -

A moderator coming in to lock the thread.

Did I miss anything?

Hmmm. I think I am beginning to see my problem. I am usually so unaware of what is going on and what I am doing that i dont know enough to realize I am being fooled, or if.

It just so happens we had Chinese food today. My fortune cookie said "You deserve to have a good time after a hard days work". Since I'm now retired it just doesn't fit. I dunno but maybe my wife gave me the wrong cookie, it was a 50/50 chance of getting the right one.:)

I hadn't thought about the old joke of saying "in bed" after the fortune for some time, but it occurs to me it def adds an interesting twist on yours, Marleena.

The whole reason to lie to oneself is to avoid asking if one is lying to oneself. Only a fool believes in fortune cookies?

Love always,

I heard one Chinese zen master say: 如果您設置您的網站的cookie,你就會錯過一個cookie的財富的財富的一部分,它的自 我

"if you set your sites on the fortune part of a cookie you will miss the fortune of a cookie it self"

Ohmmmmmmmmmmmm.........................YUM........ ..........................

However in direct English translation it means: "Just eat the Darn cookie"

I can vouch for that! I love the taste of the cookie. Screw the fortune as I make my own fortune.

Those things are mechanically wrapped and randomly inserted. As Obi Wan Kenobi said: "Who's the bigger fool? The fool or the fool who follows him?" The challenge is to figure out who is really fooling who.:)

Given the focus here on "asset acquisition" and the frequency of complaints about the lack of achievement on same, you must be thrilled!

Me, too! :) it's amazing how you can find both the number and the fit you like if you shop in the right place... Clearly of all the fools around, Old Navy is not one of them cause they figured that one out!

Colleen that does sound better: "You deserve to have a good time in bed after a hard days work". :) I couldn't complain about that one.
