Three Quotes Challenge – Day 3

Published on February 11, 2016 by milliethom28 Comments

Once again, I am happy to have been nominated for the Three Quotes Challenge, this time by Inese, whose blog, Inese MJ Photography is excellent. Inese is a wonderful photographer over in County Tipperary in Ireland, and her posts are always really interesting and inspirational. Most are about places and events in Ireland, but others are from places further afield. I recommend you all to check out Inese’s blog. Thank you so much for the nomination, Inese!

Tse are the rules for this challenge:

Thank the person who nominated you.
Post one fresh quotation on three consecutive days.
On each of the three days, nominate three folk who have not yet taken part to continue the challenge.

As with many challenges, the rules can be bent a little, if need be, to fit in with people’s blogging schedules. Inese, who nominated me, posted all three quotes in one go. I’ve seen other people posting them over three weeks rather than three days. It’s really down to whatever suits you.

This is my third and last quote, and one that I found amusing, especially when directed at myself. It’s funny how many quotes there are around on the theme of ageing – or perhaps it’s just that I particularly notice them nowadays. As for creaking, crunchy joints . . . I just pretend I’m deaf.

Here are my three nominees for today:

This time I’ve picked quotes with no common theme other than the fact that they’re all amusing. My second quote will probably appeal more to older people – including me! All I can say about it is that I’m trying to believe it’s true. Age creeps up on us all, but as they say, you’re as young as you feel – and I still feel 30. Of course, feeling it and looking it are two different things, but I won’t go into that one. Not to mention that all six of my children are over 30 anyway.

Enough of that, here’s the quote . . .

. . . and I categorically refuse to be a cheese.

Here are my next three nominees:

This time I’ve picked quotes with no common theme other than the fact that they’re all amusing. This first one is by one of the greats in comic fantasy – so who am I disagree with his logic?
