xboyfriend Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 What would you think??? Dating other person (lady 1), then get upstaged by someone else (man 1), and lady 1 cuts you off. Then, go out with another person (lady 2). Come to find out that man 1 was an ex of lady 2. (this was all through online dating and having nothing to do with each other... like, none of us know each other) Then, fourth date is a wedding in another city. The church is your grandma's church from her childhood. Your older sibling and her older sibling have birthdays one day apart. She gets fortune cookie fortune that was meaningful after meeting my parents. What would you think? Meant to be? There is so much coincidence there, that it seemed magical.

I often follow signs......road signs...........street signs........heart signs........my heart sends signs to my head like proceed with caution........or straight ahead or look up.......and i look up.......i think it comes from god........ town planners research and place signs where they are needed to be placed so we have a correct guide to where we need to go and where we should be careful or take notice of a particular site or place that is significant....... god has our hearts to do that with ....to give us focal points and messages.........as far as i know god didnt invent the fortune cookie..who did i wonder.....gonna go google........or something as trivial as a fortune cookie.......to guide us....you follow your heart, forget the fortune cookie put it down and join your hands together like you are making a steeple just like your grandmas church and just pray....your grandma had the right idea that is the message your grandma wants you to read.............follow that ideal your grandma had.............. i lost a tooth in a fortune cookie once....the sign i believe i was given is.....one in a past tense message.....the person who made the fortune cookie left it in the oven too long... secondary message for future reference.....i should have gone to the dentist sooner.......best wishes......and follow that heart of yours.....god bless and keep you in happy messages..........deb Edited May 27, 2014 by todreaminblue
todreaminblue Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Seiichi Kito, the founder of Fugetsu-do of Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, also claims to have invented the cookie.[8] Kito claims to have gotten the idea of putting a message in a cookie from Omikuji (fortune slip) which are sold at temples and shrines in Japan. According to his story, he sold his cookies to Chinese restaurants where they were greeted with much enthusiasm in both the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. Thus Kito's main claim is that he is responsible for the cookie being so strongly associated with Chinese restaurants.[citation needed] Up to around World War II, fortune cookies were known as "fortune tea cakes"—likely reflecting their origins in Japanese tea cakes.[2] Fortune cookies moved from being a confection dominated by Japanese-Americans to one dominated by Chinese-Americans sometime around World War II. One theory for why this occurred is because of the Japanese American internment during World War II, which forcibly put over 100,000 Japanese-Americans in internment camps, including those who had produced fortune cookies. This gave an opportunity for Chinese manufacturers.[2] Fortune cookies before the early 20th century, however, were all made by hand. The fortune cookie industry changed dramatically after the fortune cookie machine was invented by Shuck Yee from Oakland, California.[9] The machine allowed for mass production of fortune cookies which subsequently allowed the cookies to drop in price to become the novelty and courtesy dessert many Americans are familiar with after their meals at most Chinese restaurants today. fortune cookies are mass produced so therefore given to a mass of people with no specific guidelines or rules or regulations on the message inside.........so chaos in my mind is a production line with inane messages that anyone should follow and take to heart as life changing.................considering we are all individuals....i would say nay to the mass market production of fortunes lived or lost or won.......on a fortune cookie and the message it contains......deb
