LOL. That's a brain-teaser, all right! I had one once that had the word 'rutabaga' in it. I sent it to my grandson and, insensitive clod that he was, he threw it away. Now I can never quote what it actually said.
Another confession: I collect fortune cookie strips and somewhere in my draft files there's an unfinished piece about fortune cookies, so...
Brilliant blog. Your brain and soul are intact. Love the description of who you found and where she does what she does, and her influence on the smart child already getting ahead! I too love to read the cities signposts in the clouds above. My dad loved clouds and though I feel him talking to me all the time, I know he enjoys seeing through my eyes when I'm peering up. (I'm wearing his grey robe with the white monogram on the left sleeve right now.) I used their tax guy who was a year younger than me in junior high school and told them I walked on rarified air. Paid him $350 but he got me $330 back. Love it!!!! Please never doubt you. You are an everlasting writer and you inspire as your aspire!
Yes, Thin Mints. I've been told by a certain housemate that I really dropped the ball by not coming home with Thin Mints. Oy.
But you should know, Michael, you're the very first nomad I've ever come in contact with. (Yes, I'm ending that sentence that way.)
I'm such a North American stay-at-home I've never even had a passport, so I live vicariously through you guys and your many adventures. Just thought you'd want to know you have someone tagging along.
(raises hand) I'm a sucker for Samoas as well... I work from home, so anytime a treat like it comes into the apartment there's a war going on between my ears.
Love the humor Ra....Mona! Said I'd be here and here I am. 'Looking For Love....' great song from a good movie too. Love the article titles and know I will read and the Q&A section heading never thought about that. How's the engagement? The newbie section how thoughtful Ramona! Hey I'll browse some tips 😁 I shall return.
Love the cookies
I gotta get me some!
When you take inspiration from a fortune cookie, THEN you need to worry! E.g.: "All great journey ends begin before the middle." I'm sorry, WHAT?!

I look forward to ChatGPT and other AI chatbots writing fortunes in the future. The quality has *got* to improve! (“Rutabaga”? Really?! 🙄)
I read once that all fortune cookie 'fortunes' were written by one man for decades. I thought that was pretty cool.
I love this article, it just proves that inspiration can come from anywhere. ❤️
So true. Proof that we thrive on inspiration. Someone in the bowels of Girl Scout cookiedom was inspired to do this. Pretty darned clever.

Aw, thanks. I love what you wrote about your dad. So special. But that tax guy from junior high? I hope you ditched him the next year! That's a chunk!
I can always be inspired by the Thin Mints. Just thinking about them is making my brain work faster!
My kids always loved Thin Mints but they're not my favorites. Not that I'd turn them down if that was all that was left!
I'm a sucker for Samoas too. And if I can't get them, Keebler sells a great copy called Coconut Dreams.
I'd write more but now I'm off to the supermarket ...
I'll have to try the elf brand. Maybe I'll see you at the supermarket...
Wish you could buy stamps to embed into one's home-baked cookies. Perhaps you can.
I wonder... If there aren't, we should invent them. Words are our trade!
Found some. Off shopping! https://www.etsy.com/au/market/word_cookie_stamp
Oh, no! You didn't! You know where I'll be for who knows how long?
What does it mean? That you are a professional writer and have your priorities in order.
And those mint Girl Scout cookies are my downfall. Actually, that's the real reason we left America to become nomads...

Not stalking, just tagging along... 😊
YOU COULD HAVE BROUGHT HOME THIN MINTS AND DIDN'T! YOU MUST BE PUNISHED!
And please tag along! I love the idea of your following along. But if that was you I saw peeking through the curtains last night...
Affirmation cookies. And maybe a bottle of Smart water? Genius!
I was thinking Fruit Punch, but okay... 😉
Et tu, Michael?
I'm watching you...
