“Technically, you aren’t supposed to put a preposition at the end of a sentence.”
“Don’t get fresh with me!”
“If you were quick witted, you would have said, “Give me something I can work with, B**ch.’ Besides, I thought you liked it when I’m fresh.”

“FINE! I’ll just go play mahjong.”

Having just come out of an extended period of “I don’t wanna”, you and your lazy, unproductive, and uncooperative muse have my sympathy.
Don’t waste any sympathy on HER. That’s just what she likes.
Well, at least she gave you something to write about, yes?
patoiss last blog post..The Weekly Wonderings #93
I was hoping to embarrass her into talking
Please, Shelly, tell Muse in your next conversation, I read that the preposition not being allowed at the end of the sentence was a giant hoax. Not that I remember where I read it.
Muse, don’t tell Shelly how clever I thought you were to get her to both write about you – and to play mahjong again.
Marcias last blog post..Bella, On our Watch,…
I do remember that my English teacher, Mrs. Dubois, got very angry if we used a preposition at the end of the sentence. It was something up with which she would not put. In fact, she took off her wig & threw it at me once for that very infraction. It was scary…so I try not to repeat it. The Muse didn’t have to try very hard to make me play mahjong
Oh no, you’re channeling MY muse again! Damn.
Robins last blog post..Flattery will get you everywhere
YOUR Muse talks with a definite Texas twang…and you can have her back!
Hahahaha…
I know that b*tch! Made the move over to wordpress, luv. Update me when you have a chance, please.

Thornes last blog post..A Bit of Fun & Foolishness
I’ll do that in just a few minutes. I think EVERYBODY knows her…
I also know that blankety-blank-blank muse. I still am not forthcoming with ANY writing material. So I think I will go work on a few medicine bags… or maybe play mahjong…

Mahjong is good. But, I played long enough to make my vision fuzzy! Medicine bags are even more wonderful. Can you make bags while you play?:lol:
And so she got you to write, didn’t she? Sneaky, huh?
I hear muses are like that.
Nice.
anna l’americanas last blog post..It’s just not that cold outside……..
She IS sneaky like that. You “hear” that they are like that? Does this mean it hasn’t happened to you? Then, I wanna be you. Wait…no…you live in Maine & have snow. Never mind.
Wow! Your muse is a snappy little thing, isn’t she!!!!! I’ve been trying to get back to writing after an extended break. I’ll tell ya, the longer you go without doing it, the harder is to do!
Plus, I’ve developed this horrible Facebook addiction. It’s bad!
Jessica The Rock Chicks last blog post..Life Is A Highway
Yes, and you have addicted ME to Facebook…and that’s the next post I’m going to write. I’m going to blame YOU!
OMG – you made me laugh – first thing in the morning!!! My day is starting GREAT – thanks
And then this:
You are hilarious!!!
I have access to tons of paperback books – tell me what authors you like and I’ll see what I can find for you. It’s inexpensive to mail them via media mail.
