I'm so not following you. Possibly because I'm tired.

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.

"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."

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".
I replied "How did I get pregnant? I stopped taking the Pill, tracked my menstrual cycles, and made sure I had intercourse during ovulation."

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
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.

Because I totally did. Can't you see my plasma tv from there?

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.

:-) our buddy George Kelly made the introduction, B. Honored he thought of me, but worried I won't be interesting, lol.

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.

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 :-)

Give George my best, Mandy. Not having any luck with the article on my Nook. Will check tumblr in a bit.

I hate the way I look on the videos, all that fat isn't on my face when I look in the mirror.

“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
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 :-)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
"Every cause has its celebrity. The hunger crisis in Sudan has George Clooney. War refugees in Syria and Pakistan have Angelina Jolie. And now, Iran’s human rights struggle has Jon Stewart."

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...

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
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.
