Ok,,, here’s the problem as I see it. Most all of us have heard on the news about products from China ~ everything from pet food that is killing our animals to toys that contain magnets or paint that will harm our children. I’m not making light of these two items as they both are very serious issues.

However I enjoy Chinese foods and eat out quite often. But I’m finding another problem that has gone undetected or at least not talked about in the news. Chinese fortune cookies have not had very good fortunes coming out, I’m getting worried that America has been a dumping ground for bad fortunes from China.

Here are a few examples of the recently received cookies I’ve had.

You will hear pleasant news.
You will have a happy adventure soon.
Happy events will take place shortly in your home.


Now mind you I don’t want to complain but these fortunes just didn’t happen or come true. Thus China is in fact dumpling lousy fortunes on all of us.

What I’d like to do is start this tread with NON Chinese fortunes that we can make up ourselves. There is no longer a need in America to have China provide Americans with their fortunes from offshore. If you and I can’t do this ~ then there is no hope for our futures.

Thumbs up here are some of my American fortunes

Here are a few that I’ve made up for your fortune.

Life isn’t always what you might want it to be, live with it.

You’re dog will run away and get lost ~ be careful.

Mother-in-laws are always welcomed but also it’s nice to see them leave.

The tree of life starts at the roots in my back yard.

Barking dogs will cause you concern, but don’t worry ~ you’re home was robbed.

A new job will be coming soon, ~ you’re going to be fired.

Save for a rainy day, it will cost you more tomorrow.

If you can’t have fun at CD ~ you’re doing something wrong!
