2010 July — Scheiss Weekly

The Kraken: Released

July 24, 2010 – 7:30 pm

I have no sense of feng shui. I wish I did. Sometimes I pretend I do, but I’m always found out by people who really do have it. Ask my sisters. I’ve always thought that a person’s home should represent that person. Perhaps I have carried this a bit too far in the decor (heh) [...]

Too Bad, So Sad. . . .

July 21, 2010 – 12:00 am

Mamacita says: So many people have emailed me (doesn’t anybody comment any more?) about the following lines from a previous post that I decided to feature them by themselves. Yes, my readers are the boss of me. There is such potential in every classroom, such stories to be told, such wondrous talent and creativity and [...]

You Want A Creation Theory? I’ll Give You A Creation Theory!

July 19, 2010 – 12:05 am

On my Flickr page, there is a picture of a dulcimer. Mamacita says: Back in the day, all middle school/junior high students had to take shop and home ec. They entered high school, and life, knowing how to use a hammer and nails, how to put together a simple meal, how to sew a straight [...]

Going To The Theater? Don’t Forget Your Manners!

July 17, 2010 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says: I am so tired of shelling out money to watch a movie in a theater, only to have my (and everyone else’s, too) good time ruined by loud, wiggly, rude, mannerless, slurping boors. Not just bratty kids, either. These tactless types come in all ages. Old women are some of the worst, in [...]

July 13, 2010 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says: I posted this in 2006, but I’ve been thinking about this same thing all day so here it is again. My blog, my rules. What up, dawggggg? I admit it: too much Scrubs. Here’s the post: Is anyone else out there lucky enough to have a job that makes you so happy that [...]

Making the Grade. . . .

July 11, 2010 – 12:02 am

Mamacita says: I hate to admit this, but this was my attitude about my kids’ grades, kind of. . . . Factor in individuality, talent, brains, work habits, etc, and you can’t help but have a set of expectations, and expectations should be met. I know that there are exceptions to this and most other [...]

Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.

July 7, 2010 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says: Regarding any educator at any level, in any capacity, and in any kind of economic region, who is not making an effort to be extremely computer-savvy. . . . shame on you. I know first-hand what kind of travesties can occur when an administrator doesn’t know anything about a computer, and I think [...]

I Agree With Aristotle.

July 3, 2010 – 3:46 am

Mamacita says: There are many things that are wrong with and in this country – many, many things. Open a newspaper, watch television, listen to the radio, surf around the blogosphere, pretty much all we hear about are the things that are wrong. We SHOULD be hearing about them, too; if we don’t hear about [...]

July 4 Weekend Is Here!

July 2, 2010 – 5:18 am

Mamacita says: Sunday is Independence Day! And, if you do not believe in that, then, Sunday is the Fourth of July. Deny it if you will, but you will be wrong. You have a fourth of July. Everybody has a fourth of July. It’s right there between the third and the fifth, so none of [...]
