There's Misplaced Modifiers and then there's Happier Talk.

I awoke at 5:42 thinking; advise or advice. Oh horrors, I used the wrong word!
Again.

Grammar = nightmare to me my friends.
Punctuation too, but grammar is an unsolved mystery in my head.
And now here I am with a blog on my hands, which has been fun, and is becoming educational.

Blog = writing = words = sentences, yikes!

This blog is a few weeks old, people are reading this stuff Sideline! You can't just sit in your pj's typing  willy- nilly. 
And I probably should stop talking to myself.

I would like to make this announcement on the topic

It Ain't Gonna Be Good.  



However (perhaps one shouldn't start a sentence with "however"..(( perhaps one shouldn't use "one" but rather "I")) ((are you completely confused yet?)) )

In an attempt to learn a few things I found Grammar Girl.  And I make no promises.
http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/

"Grammar Girl has Quick and Dirty Tips."
100's of tips. 100's!
The weeds will be taking over the garden while I try to figure out where commas are supposed to go.
And why I should not use 'go' at the end of a sentence.

Grammar Girl says misplaced modifiers can dangle or squint.
"Children who laugh rarely are shy." is an example of a squinting modifier and I'm not going to explain why. Because I'm still not sure why.
I could remove 'still' from the previous sentence because it's 'junking it up'. Sigh.

This makes my skin feel creepy.

Let's go off topic.

How about some laughing children?



Not shy.



The not too shy armpit band.



Grandgirls, love.




Grandson buddies.




Definitely not shy..



Teaching her cousin how to jump in the rain.



I DID it!



Grammar Girl says "however" may be used to start a sentence, however, sometimes it needs a comma.

period.
