share-your-world-logoHere are my answers to Cee’s Share Your World 27th Feb 2017

Ever ran out of gas in your vehicle?
cart
This is my car.  It’s great on gas and needs no insurance!

Which are better: black or green olives?
Hmmm, I don’t know.  I love all olives.

If you were a great explorer, what would you explore?
I have not been to India, Turkey or China.

Quotes List: At least three of your favorite quotes?
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Thomas Edison
bulb(Said this to myself many times!)

Better to be silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. (I’m not sure who said this first but it’s excellent advice!)

Out, damned spot! Out, I say!  Lady Macbeth.  (Usefully applies to various circumstances.)

  2. Got to love your vehicle. I can just see us with that here on the Gulf Coast. It is already in the 90s and the wind speed is like 490 mph. Have a great week.,

  3. I agree with the quote about being quiet, but I sure have a hard time doing it when someone makes me mad. I need to practice more of Proverbs 17:28 “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.” King James Version (KJV)

    I think I’ve found about 10,000 wrong ways to do everything I’ve ever tried to do. haha

    Have a blessed week!

    • Yes, I am right there with you! 10,000 wrong and counting. I’ve taught myself how to do all the technical computer stuff and home repairs. It may take me a little longer but I get there in the end 🙂

      • Let’s here it for 11,000, eh? haha
        Computers and smart phones are still a big challenge for me in many ways, but I have been able to figure some things out along the way. I guess it doesn’t matter how long it takes us to get there, just so long as we get there eventually. 🙂

  7. I like that you do not favor one color olive over the other. You never know who might take offense! 🙂 So, I looked into who first said “Better to be silent…” and came up with this from QuoteInvestigator.com: “There is a biblical proverb that expresses a similar idea, namely Proverbs 17:28. Here is the New International Version followed by the King James Version of this verse: 1

    Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.

    Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.”

    They do, however, concede that the wording in your quote is much more humorous.

    • All olives are excellent! 🙂
      QuoteInvestigator.com –why didn’t I think of that? Funny, I never heard the other versions; just that one. I have used that quote, much to the annoyance of others, several times. 🙂
      Of course, ‘Out, damned spot!” I’ve also used on a number of occasions 😉
