It hurts all the more when one is tagged by a comrade with quill

Heather Snow is a lovely woman, a good writer and until she tagged me a lady I would gladly call a dear sweet darling. Oh and before you offer up rebuke here is some of what she said about the one who tagged her. "My first instinct was to kick her, but I can’t because a) she’s very pregnant.” Can you imagine it, she felt this strongly about being tagged and still she pasted it on to me but fret not for I will not be passing it on. Instead I’ll ask anyone interested to leave me a comment saying so. Then it will be a game of tag by consent. You know like when we were kids and you entered the game so there was a sort of expectation.

Titian’s 'David and Goliath' or the perfect example of a vicious tag

1. What’s the last thing you wrote? What’s the first thing you wrote that you still have?
Right first thing I thought when I got tagged was why 26 questions and not a nice round number say 20 or even 25, which is easily divided into without much incident then suddenly with number one it all becomes very clear.
