Umm.... Bob.  I'd like a prediction on my future 2, 5, and 10 years out.  So that would be about... spring 2011, the year of 2014, and the year of 2019/2020.  Career-wise, health-wise, everything else-wise. 

And for Piano Street too.  I'd like if that's around and how it's going.

You will inherit a vacuum that looks like a tiger.  It will eventually catch fire and burn all your carpet up, underneath which are tile floors and you will wish you had a mop.

And for Piano Street too.  I'd like if that's around and how it's going.

In 2 years you will spot a rainbow, follow it to the end, and find a pot of fool's gold.  In 5 years, fools gold will be worth more than real gold, and you will cash in to build a time machine.  In 10 years your time machine will be built, you will load yourself in there and find yourself here, right now, reading these answers to your questions.  Nothing else will matter.

Piano Street will still be around, and we will have had a piano party by then.

Hi, fortune machineme, well, I just wanted to talk with you a little bit, if that's okay.  Do I have to have my fortune read, or can I just talk with you a little ?

Okay.  Well, see, I am not too sure about this fortune machine me gig.  It's kinda strange.  Also, I am feeling kind of jealous that my next door neighbors have three chickens and I don't have any, even though I thought I wanted a pet chicken.  And, one of my little neighbor girls came over and I accidentally told her that I am pretending that their chickens are mine, I am pretending that I have my own chickens, since they have them and I can see them.

Is bernhard coming back within the next two years?

Should I give up piano and study guitar full time?

Well, uhm, there's this person, K who I had trouble with lately. I would like to say a few words. Should I send her a PM? Or just a comment on her thread? Or should I start a thread? Or...?

Should I just give it up?

Hi Machineme. :)  You might know me.  I once had a machine tell me my lucky number was a 3 digit number like 868.  But you are quite an intelligent Machineme and almost seem like a person, so I look forward to your answers.  I have a couple of questions.


What kind of piano will my first grand be? (Hint: I want a Fazioli and a Steinway)

Of the two, would you recommend taking an art class or ballroom dancing?


Thanks for your help, Machineme. :)

Well, that depends a bit!  If it's supposed to be interactive ( ;)), then perhaps a dancing class!  That's great for movement and such :).  But, an art class would also be wonderful ... *dreams*
