    @nicwinton Oh! I listened to like 10 seconds of it hoping it was a cover of the Wicked song but gave up. Will try again.

    @drkknits WAY TO GO! Congratulations!


    @RoseRed_Shoes Cooktop. Our induction has died again. Have already had it serviced once before. Giving up on it now! 🙁

    @codepo8 I ask everyone those questions, but then again I’m a garrulous American with very little filter. 🙂


    Amazing, wonderful news to wake up to. Congrats @drkknits! We all knew you were destined for great things!


    @drkknits Unfortunately my big move was UK->AUS, so I don’t know any shipping companies for you.


    @drkknits I’ll check my networks though and see if I know anybody in that area…


    @drkknits I can’t believe I forgot that Max and Tim live there. IT’S PERFECT. They’re pretty great.


    @drkknits I think they’re travelling at the moment. They’re both high school teachers. Love food and books and TV and all the good stuff.


    @drkknits …and I’m out. Just add me back in if needed. 🙂


    @drkknits Max mentioned me on his blog on the fifth day I had mine, back in Jan 2001. http://t.co/fu31lG15H1


    @drkknits His is long gone now. It was mostly Simpsons and Kylie references. 🙂

    @randomknits Yeah, exactly. And idiots on my FB wall still bitching about the cost and how it impacts on their taxes. *smh*


    @Xavier_Ho Awesome, huh? I have no idea how that even works. It’s magic.


    @darthted Yeah. I’ve been arguing with an idiot on FB who says it costs too much and “those numbers were dropping anyway.”


    @darthted He also refuses to see any relationship between unwanted pregnancy and poverty. You can’t argue with someone like that.
