She opened it, read the fortune, and her face turned deathly pale. You picked up the slip of paper, read it, and handed it to me; on it was printed a single word:<BR/><BR/>"FERTILITY."MitchHellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049328242740693506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514703016498961093.post-84782305100758737702008-12-13T17:43:00.000-05:002008-12-13T17:43:00.000-05:00Hey, Mitch, you know what fortune is coming, event...Hey, Mitch, you know what fortune is coming, eventually... cheers!David Ettlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858701708865222941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514703016498961093.post-12609685853757169742008-12-13T17:16:00.000-05:002008-12-13T17:16:00.000-05:00Here's a fortune cookie fortune for you:"The stock...Here's a fortune cookie fortune for you:<BR/><BR/>"The stock market will recover from this, or lower, levels."MitchHellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049328242740693506noreply@blogger.com
