Open Thread – Enable Cookie
Some silliness for a Saturday. It reminded me of my dad who would, every time he had a fortune cookie, ceremoniously look through the half-spectacles on the end of his nose, unfurl the fortune, and in a very grave tone say, “Help. Help. I am being held prisoner in a Chinese cookie factory.” It always made me laugh, even though I knew it was coming.
When a fortune cookie shoots you out of the saddle,where can you turn for help?
After watching the New England Patriots demolish god’s favorite quarterback prodigy in convincing fashion last evening,I have to say if god really helps Timmy Tebow win football games as 43% of the population thinks,he/she/it surely works in mysterious ways.
Speaking of cookies…
On this cold and snowy day, it seemed like a good idea to snuggle up in my fleecy pants and make some snickerdoodles. Love me some cinnamon!
Mmmm…yummy!
Welcome back, Mike… you missed a rosing section a few days ago…
Niners Win! Niners Win! Exciting Comback for both teams in 4th quarter !! Now THAT was an exciting GAME !!!!
My kids would fall apart laughing if they read what you wrote, Jeanne, because that’s ALWAYS what I say when I have a fortune cookie!

It’s French-fried!
Surgery lasted an hour and a half. I woke up to the sound of someone driving spikes into rails to hold them in place. This was the best experience I’ve ever had in surgery and all the nurses and aids and everyone were exceptionally polite and professional. I had my first shower with a member of the opposite sex in about forty years. I’m too old to be embarassed about my shortcomings and she should have been embarassed being caught in a shower with mikey.I have had vitually zero pain and I have noticed increased movement in my right leg.I have the utmost respect and regard for medical care workers and most of them have a ready sense of humor. Like my friends here. BTW i got home Friday afternoon about 3:30 CST and rested before going on line. Prognosis sounds favorable and I am happy as heck to be back here with all of you. Many,many thanks to all of you. Now let’s go rip some new asses on some old asses. Insert Howard Dean shriek here.
Congratulations! And best wishes for your recuperation. Each day will improve on the day before until you realize that you haven’t felt so good in a very long time!
SO good to have your humor back and ‘ready to roll’!!
hugs Mike.
YAY !
Hoping it all goes even better than the very-good it has so far.
🙂
Glad to hear all went well and that you’re back and sassy!
So glad everything went well Mike. Now about that dance you promised me….. 🙂
Sadly missed your comments.
We’re planning a ski weekend next month. You game?
Sounds like you had a really tough week, Mike. I hope everything is downhill from here and that you set a new record for regaining your health and getting back to where you need to be.
So glad to hear of the success – I was thinking this was last week!
Get well soon.
Hooray for being home and recovering apace!
I am still still feeling the effects of your bean soup and cornbread. How was it? I can’t seem to remember. Did you get any work out of me?
Yay Mike – Good man yerself!
That’s my Mikey – he comes back fightin’.
Good man yerself, Micheal, as the irish girls and boyz would say.
I’ve had two very memorable fortune cookies.
1) “Behind every able man there is always.”
2) “Toreador pants make your feet look big, too.”
…and in other news, archeologists unravel code at the end of Mayan calendar….’to be continued’.
🙂 WfAK
And on the subject of cookies, this always make me smile:

That’s right. We must help ourselves. Think we can do anything about Alaska’s sorry Board of Game?
We have had republican governors since 2002. Management policies have been designed by administrations that are refusing to acknowledge scientific data. We need a governor that does not believe that the world is 6,000 years old and that it will end very soon. We can do something about the board of game. We can replace the person that appoints them. I like the sound of Governor McAdams.
Me too, I like the sound of Governor McAdams.
Also- like the idea of pushing our Legs not to rubber stamp confirmations for Commishs Governors want. Our super strong Executive branch setup really needs some pushback from the Leg branch more often- and not the type we saw during the Knowles administration.
I am told the proper way to truly appreciate the meaning of a fortune cookie is to add the words, “in bed” at the end.
Heh heh… I’ve never heard that, but it’s so appropriate! We can use some silliness- or silliness that’s meant to be silly, not the GOP political stuff, which “they” mean to be serious.
Happy weekend, mudpups! Hope those who need to dig out of snow are dug out 😉
There’s 100 inches at my house – I’m sick of it.
I had to dig my chicken house out today to feed/water them. sheesh.
