Mamacita says: There’s no actual theme for this week’s Quotation Saturday; it’s full of random wordbytes of wisdom. Oh, and if you don’t see any wisdom, you’re not looking closely enough.
Oh, and you know what “they” say. . .that’s the omnipotent antecedentless “they” of the ages. . .if you are offended by a quotation, you [...]

Mamacita says: This weekend is unlike any I’ve ever experienced, ever. I can’t remember it ever happening, anyway. If you are a pervert, burglar, murderer, or one of my stalkers, please cover your eyes as other people read the following: I’m alone in the house, ie, nobody’s home but me.
And since it’s temporary, it’s bloody [...]

Mamacita says: Since southern Indiana has been covered with snow for two weeks now, I thought I’d use that same idea for Quotation Saturday. The forecast for tomorrow night, indeed, is for more snow, but unless the “feel” of the air changes between now and then, I would put my money – if I had [...]

Mamacita says: Well, well, well, another Saturday has sneaked up on us!
“Gumption” is an old-fashioned word, but gumption itself is a quality that seems to be old-fashioned, too. Schoolkids aren’t given time to prove they’ve got gumption or not, because before they can even comprehend that they can’t comprehend something, an adult is right there [...]

Mamacita says: The weather forecast for Thursday night was a severe snowstorm. It didn’t show up, so I mocked it. On Friday, the snow started falling and hasn’t let up even as I write, which is 3:15 a.m.
I really don’t understand how it could possibly be snowing; I mean, we have plenty of milk and [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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: “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 deadline is [...]

Mamacita says: Contrary to what many people are thinking, 2010 is NOT the first of a new decade; it’s the last of the old decade. Count on your fingers; I won’t tell on you.
Today is still the first day of the new year. Today is Fresh Start Day. Let’s all try to give ourselves, [...]
