Digital thoughts…

What the hey?! Even though they have backyards for convenient placement of those unsightly beasts-on-wheels, since when did homeowners find it attractive to leave their trash/recycling/yard waste barrels out for weeks on end? [Yeah, sounds ‘get off my lawn-ish’, doesn’t it?]

Which logically leads to my concerns about fortune cookies…

The other night, I had three of them lined up for late night consumption with [product placement alert!] Yogi ginger tea. Could I enjoy them? Nope. Haunted by the following…

• Is it bad juju to break and eat the cookie before reading the fortune?
• Am I doomed if the cookie breaks before I even remove it from the wrapper?
• Does the exact opposite fate await me if I break protocol?
• Worse yet, is it bad form to eat all three cookies and then read all three fortunes?
• And should I read them in the same order as the order in which I ate the cookies?
• Is there a proper technique to break open the cookie?

And speaking of questionable juju…

In Hallmark Channel’s Garage Sale Mysteries, Lori Laughlin has a daughter attending college. Did that fictional daughter also get accepted based on false pretenses?
