Comments Now Working and Fortune Cookies
Thanks to my rocket scientist hubby (yes, he really is a rocket scientist), you can once again contribute your deep, insightful comments on my deep, insightful (uh huh) blog posts. Apparently, the comments.php file got corrupted so we replaced it with the original and voila now it works. We also figured out the comments issue we had related to not receiving emails when someone commented. It was an oversight on our part…we didn’t realize that after installing the ShiftThis.net plugin, we had to put an email address in the SMTP page under the Options tab. Doh! To our credit though we didn’t happen upon the right documentation during our prior searches. I guess since we didn’t know what words to search on we picked the wrong ones. I’m sure the Wordpress.org support forum people hate us but honestly we had no idea and no time to figure it out. Still slogging through the Subscribe To Comments Plugin issues though. Our fortunes today might be the reason we can’t fix it today. There is always tomorrow to try again. 
On another note, we experienced some bad lunch time fortune cookie mojo today at FireBowl Cafe. Some other friends of ours have told us they got some weird ones at Pei Wei too. Usually, we get some lighthearted, fun, cool fortunes but now they are buying theirs from another company (maybe the Chinese companies responsible for all the lead paint in our kids toys also make fortune cookies) that are downright yucky. Here are the ones we got today…we got 2 more than normal to hopefully override the bad vibes from the first set.
- Today has been a disastrous day. If you can’t beat them join them.
- Anything you do today is bound to fail (can’t remember this one exactly but this is what we recall.)
- There may be a crisis looming, be ready for it.
- A couple of extra bucks could be floating in your direction. (this one was at least somewhat positive)
All I have to say is YEESH! Not a good thing for China…

Is it true that if you eat the fortune cookie, the fortune won’t come true? I suppose it’s kinda like speaking your birthday candle wish out loud…if you say it, it won’t come true. Hmm.

Hi Wes - I had never heard that. I don’t usually like the taste of fortune cookies…I just get them for the fortune. My husband or son usually eats my cookie. However, these cookies actually tasted pretty good and I did eat the one that had the “Today has been a disatrous day..” so maybe that’s why it was not disastrous!

Has anyone actually won a lottery using the numbers on the back of the fortune? Mega Millions is in the $300M range now.

Sawrin - That’s a great question. I have no idea. Now I wonder if I should play the numbers that are on the back of the last 2 fortunes on Mega Millions. I played recently and only matched 2 numbers on maybe 3 lines so I’m not sure me winning the lottery is meant to be. I said I wouldn’t play again for some years but now you have tempted me!

We’ll probably make our $5 donation to the state for a chance.

I was going to buy some lotto tickets but then ran out of time and totally forget until I saw the drawing on TV. I was glad I had not played the numbers on the back of those fortune cookies we got, because we would not have won anything! When I told Erin this he said that by not playing I changed the time/space continuum and the outcome would have been different, thereby indicated that if I had played the numbers they might have been drawn. I said ‘whatever.’

I heard about 5 people who all won the lottery because they used the fortunecookie numbers and all had the same fortune cookie.

Hi Kinsey - I had not heard that story. I wonder what their fortune was on those cookies!
Thanks for stopping by!
