Mamacita says: If I owned the biggest and best thesaurus in the universe, I still would not be able to find a word accurate enough to fully express my disgust and loathing of censorship, nor of the mentality of those who censor. Yesterday’s post touched on this topic – or perhaps, more accurately, grabbed the [...]

Mamacita says: I loathe euphemisms and most political correctness. They cheapen the language. Euphemisms and PC are a kind of censorship, and censorship is the action of a weak, fearful, and ignorant mind. Smart people understand that many words have more than one meaning. Weak and ignorant people can’t, and, unfortunately, weak and ignorant people [...]

Mamacita says: Oh, I am such a backwards, provincial thing! 1. I still have never used an ATM machine. I have a feeling it might be a detrimental skill for me to learn. 2. I still have never watched a single Survivor-type show. They all seem more like fraternity hazings to me. 3. I’ve still [...]

Mamacita says: Heroes are all around us. We don’t know who they are until something happens and they leap into action. Ironically, the heroes don’t know they’re heroes until something happens, either. We all hope that we’ll react heroically, but the fact is, NOBODY knows until after the fact whether he/she will even do the [...]

Mamacita says: Let’s all use the power of social media to help the people of Haiti! Tune in to One by One Media’s 24-hour telethon via WhatGives.com beginning TONIGHT and do what we can. Our dear friend and mentor Jim Turner, AKA Genuine, is the man behind the telethon; his post here at One by [...]

Mamacita says: Caroline Lake Quiner Ingalls knew how to raise her children so that they would know how to behave themselves properly no matter where they might find themselves. In Little Town on the Prairie, a teen-aged Laura is invited to a party. She had gone, years ago, to a little girls’ party, but this [...]

Mamacita says: Sometimes it takes a major catastrophe to remind us that we are all living on the same planet; that we all have the same basic needs; that the entire universe is based on Six Degrees of Separation; that the wheel of life turns and turns and the fly on the top will be [...]

Mamacita says: Lady Gaga? I know who she is, but have no interest in hearing her sing or carry on or shake hands with the Queen whilst in full GagaGear. However, I have to add that she might want to hire new publicity people as her current ones seem to have a one-track mind. Last [...]

Mamacita says: Women who had difficult labors probably hate me already right now, but I’ll go ahead and make it worse: I loved being pregnant. I felt GREAT. Even when I was sitting still, doing nothing, I was still doing something wonderfully productive. I was euphoric. I felt very off-balance, but I’m so inclined that [...]

Mamacita says: “Shades of the past” is an expression I occasionally use. I’ve said it several times these past holiday weeks, in fact. So I thought, well, why not use it as the theme for this week’s Quotation Saturday? I know it’s Sunday now. Shhhhh. How very seemly to quote about the past when my [...]
