One of my blogging hero's and great friends has announced she is calling it a day for the foreseeable future .
Miss Nations possessed a marvellously twisted creativity , you never knew what was coming next or which direction a subject would take . She writes beautifully , can be shockingly honest and wickedly funny . I have learnt many interesting things from her art history pieces , some things I really didn't want to know about the lavatory habits of pensioners , garnered some fantastic recipes and cookery tips and cried with laughter at some of the crazy antics from her earlier life.
I hold out the hope that she will triumphantly return at some stage in the future , if you haven't read any of her stuff , go dig in he archives......and go do it NOW.
I would offer to go on hunger stike to force Miss Nations to return to us......but yeah like that is EVER going to happen

Nations was without equal out here. She was so smart and courageous..and she could get down and dirty with the best of them and suddenly smack you upside the head with some incredible factoid.
She didn't just lob trivia at you either..she understood the concepts and could play with the language. Unlike so many who parrot information, she chewed it up real good and made it understandable...played with it.
Wow.
Here's a link to Firstnations, Mr Beastie.
Sx
I say we all congregate at my place and roll a gigantic wheel of Canadian cheddar cheese across the border aimed directly at her house.
That'll learn her.
In her absence (which I hope is short) I shall attempt to take up where she left off about the lavatory habits of pensioners, if it so pleases you.
And why aren't her comments enabled?
How the hell are we supposed to leave messages of dismay and angst?
Perhaps we should march in circles around her house with protest signs.
I could fling my flaming uterus through her window.
And some kippers.
I've read and enjoyed some of Nation's posts, but mainly I've loved her comments on other blogs; I'll miss these because they always made me laugh.

Donn . Indeed , the writing was often genius :-)
Miss Scarlet . Thanks for the link I am a Dumbass with stuff like that.
Miss MJ . I guess Once Miss Nations had decided to quit she wont be monitoring comments so switched them off so's not to encourage us :-)
Miss Scarlet the 2nd . Well tough as it is , we will just have to live with it :-#
Very sad, indeed.
But for what it's worth, I'M still here!

Its not sad Miss Uber , its annoying that FN has better things to do than talk to us

We can all spot a shameless plug a mile away Mr Frobisher , away with you and blog something
Well, I hope FN enjoys her break. And I hope she keeps her archives, because that's a lot of great stuff she has written.
Best wishes, FN!
and just when i started back blogging, she decides to quit. well crap on toast. now who am i going to bitch too about all things southern? she truly understood, being a yankee and all.
She's been making people think and laugh since forever!
Nice post for her too :)
I thought she was brilliantly drunk or high when she wrote most of her posts... and even then she was ten times better than most bloggers!
Amen to that Mutley! xx
