Current thought: "You will receive a fortune. (cookie)"
This was the fortune in a fortune cookie I received, misplaced period and all. With accuracy like that, it's a shame Alabama doesn't have a lottery. I'm sure the numbers on the back would have been the previous week's winners. 8)
[From my "Past Tips of the Moment and Past Thoughts" page. This was the third "thought" and fifth post overall. I didn't keep track of the dates beyond the year, so the date is a guess.
This fortune cookie was too stupid not to share. The "8)" was a smiley indicating that I wear glasses. I'd been using it since back in my BBS days. (Yes, I typically skipped the "nose".) I stopped using it when a saw a emoticon list saying that the 8-) emoticon indicated the writer was rolling his eyes. That's not at all what I meant by it. — 28 May 2009]

Thought (babies don't take holidays)
Current thought: Babies don't take holidays.
When recently carded while buying some alcohol, the cashier noted my birthday is Jan. 1st. As is typical, she asked if I was the first.
"Not even close," I replied. (I was born around 11:00 AM.)
"That's funny," she said, "you'd think there'd be fewer born that day."
This struck me as about the stupidest thing I'd heard in a long time.
[From my "Past Tips of the Moment and Past Thoughts" page. This was the second "thought" and fourth post overall. I didn't keep track of the dates beyond the year, so the date is a guess.
Later, when we were taking a class in preparation for our first child, our instructor had a similar saying: "babies don't read calendars." This was to express that the baby will come when it's ready, not when the doctor claims it is "due." — 28 May 2009]
