Fortune's Wheel Spinnin' 'Round...

Various bits of advice from the most ubiquitous method of divination, the Fortune Cookie...

Ask a friend to join you on your next voyage.

Be careful! Bees with honey in their mouths, have stings in their tails.

And bees without honey in their mouths... have stings in their tails...

Do not mistake temptation for opportunity.

Hey, but a temptation is an opportunity! ;).

Don't wait for others to open the right doors for you.

Don't expect romantic attachments to be strictly logical or rational!

...what if I were a Vulcan?

Every truly great accomplishment is at first impossible.

Actually, I'm not going to tear into this one...

A faithful friend is a strong defense.

Can make for a strong offense, too...

Good news of a long-awaited event will arrive soon.

How about the event itself? It's not the news that's got my attention...

Guard yourself against evil temptations.

Good ones are OK, though.

Happier days are definitely ahead for you, struggle has ended.

The hard times will begin to fade. Joy will take their place.

Hm, a common theme here...

He that climbs a ladder must begin at the first step.

Darn! I like skipping rungs ;-) ...

It will be easy for you to achieve your goals.

Better odds, less gain...

The old way has come to an end. Don't expect the ordinary.

So expect the unexpected, right? Hmmmm... problem here.

The smart thing to do is to begin trusting your intuitions.

So it's wise not to think too much. Hmmmm...?!

Someone from your past has returned to steal your heart.

I'd better not comment on this one...

There's a good chance of a romantic encounter soon.

Um, whatever... time to call the local psychics... ;-)

To love and win is the best thing; to love and lose, the next best.

And to love and tie... well, um... enough about that...

Trust your intuition. The universe is guiding your life.

Now, this is strange.

When both feet are planted firmly, nothing can shake you.

But I like to be able to move!

You are endowed with strength of purpose and energy of will.

I *will* finish this cookie, I *will* finish this cookie...

You are open-minded and quick to make new friends.

I probably shouldn't savage this one too much, I guess...

You are promised fulfillment, from the most mundane to the most divine.

'Cause the universe is guiding my life, right?

You emerge victorious from the maze you've been traveling in.

I can be bull-headed at times, I guess...

You maintain a sense of balance in the midst of great success.

If I were an acrobat, perhaps..

You will enjoy good health that is your form of wealth.

Vaguely reminescent of Poor Richard's Almanac...

You will never know hunger.

Strange, coming from a food product...

Your ability to find the silly in the serious will take you far!

Me? Silly? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Your heart will always make itself known through your words.

One of the Go visit the rest...
