Better late than never. . . . Mamacita says: Anyone of any age who “hates science” never had a good science teacher.

Mamacita says: I’ve been throwing dirty laundry down the stairs all day and now we can’t open the garage door. I’d go downstairs to start a load but I can’t get to the bottom of the stairs. Someone will have to go outside and come in through the garage, open the door really hard, and [...]

Mamacita says: I’ve been writing exams for the college for the past two weeks, and my eyeballs are falling out of the sockets and spinning like a cartoon character’s.

Mamacita says: Everybody knows by now that I’m a huge Steve Spangler fanatic, and I won’t try to deny it.

Mamacita says: I’m not much of a political blogger, nor have I any desire to be one, but today’s antics by our elected representatives bring to mind the phrase “taxation without representation.” It also brings to mind this old piece of political advice: “People elected you to be their honest representative.
