I've been collecting my fortunes from fortune cookies for a couple years now, since there is a project that is in the process for them, but I've always found this a fun game to play.

Well, for those of you who collect your fortunes as well, share them with us!

Here's mine from today.

"You will live a long prosperous life"

Who's next?

Well unfortunately I haven't had any mongolian today (that's normally where I get my fortune cookies from), but I do have one taped to my computer that I got last March....

"A friend will be important to you and your forthcoming success."

Ironically, I went home that night and talked to an old friend for a few hours... then joined the navy the next morning.

You can't argue with a fortune cookie.

Except for the financially related fortunes I have gotten, most of them are true, did happen just before, or some time after, and I have never gotten one about "love".

You can't argue with a fortune cookie, but you can certainly argue with a Magic Eight Ball. :p

Um, many years ago I used to *write* fortune cookies. Unfortunately, my powers of prognostication seem now to have totally deserted me.

I do have a fortune stuck to my computer monitor which says "This year will bring you great happiness." I got that one in 2004, and that *was* a pretty good year. I didn't find one that said that this year though...

My last fortune cookie said "You will not die in horrible pain". My brother got one that said something to the effect of "You will be poor, but wealthy in knoweldge" and was so upset over it, we got the food free (he's super superstitious).

I burn mine, so I don't collect them. On 9-10-01 I recieved one that said "Your psychic gifts will bless another" and a few days later I quit reading cards professionally.

Fortune cookie message...

"Your teddy bear never made it home today. If you want to see his lovely golden locks again, get to the telephone booth on 42nd St.East at 3pm for further instructions!"

I actually keep the fortunes in the sweatband of my hat!

"An unexpected visitor will bring you good blessings."

"You will be honored by someone you respect."

"Seize from every moment its uniqueness, especially this week."

That's only three. I don't eat take out often.

Worst fortune ever: "That wasn't chicken."

Behind the 8 ball,..
I only save the best ones.

Then I'll leave them lying around to find at a later time. :)
Just found one that says, "A pleasant surprise is in store for you."
Hmmm,.... maybe the surprise is I'll find a better one next time. [huh]

My most favorite fortune of all time wasn't even mine.

I bought a vintage gold clutch purse, and tucked inside was a small, yellowed fortune that reads "Test your friends before you trust them."

That fortune is going to stay with the purse, and I'm always very careful witht the fortune wheneve I carry that purse. :)

"You will have good fortune at the end of the day."

You know what's at the end of my day? Three fillings at the dentist's office. :(
