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 seem [...]

Mamacita says:
. . . interrupting my post-Christmas blues, my wallowing in Love Actually, my longing for visits from family, and my dread of taking down all my holiday decorations, with the Twelve Rules of Christmas, just for you:
1. Christmas is always better than you thought it would be, even if it’s not.
2. Christmas brings people [...]

Those weekly shows hosted by Ed Sullivan, Andy Williams, The Smothers Brothers, Sonny and Cher, Glen Campbell, Dean Martin, Carol Burnett, Perry Como, Flip Wilson. . . Laugh-In. . . The Muppet Show. . . . John Gary. [...]

My all-time favorite Christmas movie is still Love Actually. That doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t like any other Christmas movies.
There’s nothing like a zany Christmas movie like “Mixed Nuts” to really get me in the holiday mood. It’s Steve Martin back when he was cute and funny and cool, like WAYYYY before [...]

Mamacita says: I love these days leading up to Christmas more than any other time of the year. I love the planning. I love the baking. I love the making lists. I love the shopping, which I actually do all year long. I love the Amazon super-secret-discount-deals. I [...]

Mamacita says: Watch out for the language on this one:
Justin Smythe, 44, was arrested in California a few years ago, and freely admitted that he’d given a 13-year-old girl enough booze and drugs to loosen her up so he could, and did, have sex with her, many times and in many different “ways,” and that [...]

Mamacita says: My opinion on the current state of the average American public school system is very low, and yet in spite of my growing disillusionment with rules, regulations, toleration of bad behavior and attitudes, politics, willful ignorance in both students and adults, and all of the petty little stupidities that daily – hourly – [...]

Mamacita says: I’m really not a very cool or adventurous person, and many of the things I’ve never done are done every day by most people. I get that “raised eyebrow oh really” face from others, a lot. Sigh.
1. I’ve never used an ATM machine. That’s always good for some “oh really” expressions.
2. I have [...]

Mamacita says: Sometimes we hear a line or two from a movie, and we remember that line or two long after we’ve forgotten everything else about the movie. Sometimes that remembered line helps us remember other things about a movie, too; how much we liked the movie, loved the movie, hated the movie, etc.
I’m not [...]

1. You’re never too old for a popsicle.
2. 8-gig SD cards for nine dollars? I’ll take two, please. Thank you, Amazon.
3. Stinky ladybug beetles are starting to drop down on my furniture. Where did they live all winter? Wait, don’t tell me. I bet I don’t want to know.
4. Educating Rita, starring a [...]
