This is SUCH a funny/amazing story that NW has linked to. It's just … oh … what's the word … Oh, that's right. There isn't one.

It’s so easy to infiltrate. I guess that’s why it’s so important to know the truth and exercise your God given authority to cast down every lie.

You might find the following article interesting. I did. It’s titled: “For the makers of unlucky fortune-cookie messages, a diner revolt”

Grace: GOOGLE said that? Gosh, that’s … well, wrong. I mean, it may be some kind of definition of the word, but the primary definition of “harp” (beyond the instrument) is to bitch, to complain about something to the point of being a major pain. Think of the Greek HARPY.

Hey, Elizabeth! (Oh–I was KIDDING about the fortune cookie being a problem! I see SOMEONE didn’t read comment #20). AMAZING news about your husband!! Fantastic. Wonderful. Congratulations to you both. What a wonderful Christmas gift.

Hey, John…

You are so funny, dude! Who’da thunk it to get upset over a fortune cookie??? Just eat the blasted thing, find Cat, be a hero to her and enjoy the success… big or small or whatever…

Btw… quick update… Hunky Hubby (H.H., as you call him) only has eight more radiation treatments left and two more chemos…. He’ll be done by the week after Turkey day… THANK YOU JESUS! He’s doing ok, just had a little slip up on the white count thing recently…but with only two more treatments to go, I think he’ll come out ok.

Funny story… First day of treatments… I asked him, “How do you feel?” (You know, normal wifey stuff…) and he shoots back, “I don’t know… I’ve never been microwaved before!”

re: Is there any chance you have a different understanding of the word “harp” than I do?

not the musical instrument John…here’s the definition from Google: – come back to; “Don’t dwell on the past”; “She is always harping on the same old things”

Cheers!

Troubadour pants are a niche fashion. Pirates and giants (ala Princess Bride)–awesome. On most other people they are only slightly above gaucho pants on the fashion scale.

Oh wait; we’ve moved on, haven’t we…you’d BETTER let Cat back in, like, now.

Oh, you are SO behind. If you'd read my LAST post, you'd know why Cat is right now, as a matter of fact, soundly asleep on our couch …

No… I did read it… But – as we say in the South – I'm just a tad bit slow on the draw… Didn't get in on the conversation until it was too late… and still had to rib you about it!

And yes, God gave us the perfect Christmas gift! Now… Step away from the computer… and go be Cat's hero! LOL

Later!

Aha! So, even though my parents clearly took great pains to hide it, the truth is now out: They’re Chinese.
