I may take a break from here for awhile. Feels like I'm talking to myself.
I was just absent for a few days and look what happens. dont do it - Myri∂m
What happens? Did I miss something? - Bill Mason
what? where? how? - Myri∂m
I'm so not following you. Possibly because I'm tired. - Bill Mason
I probably won't be around much later this week anyhow. One of the big national unschooling conferences is in town and we always go. Plus we'll have a house guest from out of town. So don't take it as a rejection of your advice if I go quiet. I just don't feel the motivation to write lately, I guess. - Bill Mason

Iran's chief nuclear negotiator: we're being asked to make all the sacrifices - CSMonitor.com - http://www.csmonitor.com/World...
"Saeed Jalili, Iran's top nuclear negotiator and a contender in the June presidential election, sat down with the Monitor to share his views about an 'unbalanced' nuclear offer made by world powers." - Bill Mason from Bookmarklet

Headless Gnad Kicker
Having an interesting "conversation" with someone in the comments of a newspaper article (I know, I know). They stated that the Pill and condoms were 100% effective at preventing pregnancies when used correctly. I asked him where he got his figures from. His answer - "Personal experience".
He then said to me "So why did you get pregnant? Operator error. Better luck next time." - Headless Gnad Kicker
I replied "How did I get pregnant? I stopped taking the Pill, tracked my menstrual cycles, and made sure I had intercourse during ovulation." - Headless Gnad Kicker
I have a lotto number generator I would like to sell him - Johnny from iPhone
Since it was an article about the scrapping of the baby bonus, I think he assumes I am a single mother who ended up pregnant after my contraceptive device failed. THROUGH MY OWN FAULT, OF COURSE. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Ask him if he's been tested for impotence before he gets too confident. Make him think. - Bill Mason
HOW IS BABBY FORMED? - Johnny
I'd rather ask him if he's been tested for stupidity. - Headless Gnad Kicker
I have a feeling my comment won't get approved because I used words like menstrual and ovulation. Even if it does get published, he'll probably accuse me of getting pregnant on purpose just to cash in on the baby bonus. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Because I totally did. Can't you see my plasma tv from there? - Headless Gnad Kicker
Oh, kudos to The Chronicle, they published my comment. - Headless Gnad Kicker

Today I'm taking a bus ride with a reporter who's living in and writing about East Oakland for the Tribune. He's not from here & wants to learn about Oakland as it was, how it's changed. I'm excited to be part of his project but I hope he doesn't want to take pictures of me :-)
Sounds like fun. He's in for a treat spending the day with Mandy. - MoTO #TeamMonique
:-) our buddy George Kelly made the introduction, B. Honored he thought of me, but worried I won't be interesting, lol. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Oh thats a nice story line there.. I just spent 15min on the entry "Felix the Cat" !! - Peter Dawson
Felix Mitchell has become Oakland's version of a Stagolee-type outlaw hero (I was a teenager but I thought his funeral was a shameful spectacle. Most Oaklanders feel the same way). He spread money around the hood, yeah, but he was a lowlife crook. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
It was fun, just a bus ride chatting about Oakland with a nice guy & a photog taking pictures. I don't know what he's gonna get out of my ramblings, but it should be published I think tomorrow, so we shall see :-) - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Seems like a nice article. Did you like how it turned out? - Bill Mason
I love the article! And you look fantabulous! - Fish Are LIES
Hey, there's no picture in mobile :-( - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
There's no picture in the article, but it's also posted on his tumblr which does have a picture of you, and several videos. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Oh, my tumblr app must not be refreshing again. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Give George my best, Mandy. Not having any luck with the article on my Nook. Will check tumblr in a bit. - MoTO #TeamMonique from Android
I hate the way I look on the videos, all that fat isn't on my face when I look in the mirror. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
“I like the evolution,” she said, “I get nostalgia for the way things used to be — I’d go into that Rexall and my mom would buy me a coloring book if I was good — but change is good, too.” And this ladies and gentlemen is one of the reasons I love Mandy so. - MoTO #TeamMonique
Awesome! - SAM
Great article, can't wait until I can view from home! - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
Ha, he didn't include what I said about the Rexall now being a Mexican grocery with bins of nopales outside - which led to my "change is good" comment :-) - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
the article came out lovely. so cool of you to share yourself like that. cheers! - t-ra: not givin up

"American fans tried to come back with USA chants but Iranian fans have airhorns." Well that's not fair. But it's hilarious. :) - Bill Mason from Bookmarklet

The new Google+ layout is kind of weird, I think. Not that anyone I know really uses it anyhow, so I guess it doesn't matter.
I definitely dislike the auto-hashtagging. - Bill Mason

The paycheck, she is not enough to motivate me today.

Sign outside an auto repair shop: "Your wife is hot. Show her you care: fix the air conditioning."
Of course it's 53 F / 12 C and raining this morning, so air conditioning might not be a priority. ;) - Bill Mason

Napping. Maybe. Someone wake me up for "Grimm".
Never mind. No nap. - Bill Mason

Our garden boxes.

Nice! - Yvonne
what's the construction? anything on the bottom to isolate the box soil from the ground soil? - Joe Silence
i ask cos the soil in my city is something i would never grow food in. - Joe Silence
Yeah, there's a layer of alfalfa on the bottom, and then flattened cardboard boxes atop that. - Bill Mason
I'd really like to build something like this, except that I'm not very knowledgeable about gardening. I used to help my grandmother with her (50+ years ago) but didn't take any notes! Also, I'm guessing it's important that they be reasonably level, so I'd have to terrace my back yard a bit more. Maybe one box per terrace or something. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

Kudos to Angelina Jolie for writing of her experience. Courage.

Too busy to note how too busy I was today. So, y'know, hi world. Hope things are good.
Still chasing my own tail. I might eat dinner tonight. Or not. - Bill Mason

Owen drives me crazy sometimes.
In other news, water is wet. I guess. - Bill Mason
He's a kid, it's his job. - Headless Gnad Kicker
I wish he didn't excel at it right at the end of Mother's Day, I guess. - Bill Mason
Thanks for listening, everyone. G'night. - Bill Mason

Making dinner for my sweetie. Because, Mother's Day y'know. :)
Mmm, yummy. If I'm allowed to pat myself on the back like that. - Bill Mason

An early morning happy Mother's Day to those out there. I'm off to sleep. I embrace my sleep.
give my regards to Miriam :) one of the best moms I've ever seen. she is so cool - Myri∂m
Aw, what an awesome sweet thing to say. :D Thank you Myriam! She's already turned in, but I will make a point to tell her tomorrow. :) Have a great afternoon, you. - Bill Mason
(I think she's cool too.) :D - Bill Mason
Miriam says "thank you" and she blushed. ;D - Bill Mason

Such irony: it's US fans with the spoiler power for Doctor Who instead of the other way around. Keep quiet, you fans. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013...

Ethan, after talking to himself as he plays: "I wasn't speaking to you, Dad." Me: "I didn't think you were." E: "I didn't think I was either." OK then, that's settled.

If I do reply to him when he's not speaking to me, I usually get chided. - Bill Mason

For Owen. - Bill Mason from iPhone
He's feeling better. Craniosacral therapy on his jaw seemed to relieve pressure and realign him. - Bill Mason

Naturally we gave up on watching "Hannibal" the week that Gillian Anderson debuted. Oops.
Waiting for her debut was the only reason why my wife had been watching. The show is too dark for me. - Bill Mason

Someone tell my laptop to stop making that noise that's scaring me. I have no time or money to deal with noises.
It stopped, but I don't feel reassured. - Bill Mason
And there it goes again. - Bill Mason
You might want to install a utility that will monitor the temperature. If it's a heat problem, fans are fairly cheap to replace ($50 from ifixit.com), although not the first repair you should try if you've never opened a machine before. I would also recommend running diagnostics on the hard drive. As much as you don't have time to deal with replacing that now, you really don't have time... more... - Mary B: #TeamMonique
I have a feeling it's the fan. I'm going to try checking that first. Thanks. - Bill Mason
Let me know if you want me to walk you through the repair - we can do it on Skype or FaceTime. - Mary B: #TeamMonique
Thanks, but I don't think I would ever dare try it myself. I have clumsy hands. - Bill Mason

Bill Would Deny Iran Access to Foreign Exchange Reserves - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2013...
And it'll be retroactive to today, regardless of when the bill actually passes. We're traveling back in time to find things left to sanction, I guess. - Bill Mason from Bookmarklet
