    Four hours of mind-numbing QA. Who else is ready to go home?


    @drkknits A lot of them do “kebab plates” though. At least the ones in the Sydney CBD do. That’s what I used to get.


    Hey, so anyone can apply to be an observer judge for knitting at the Easter Show? Like, ANYONE? (As per @KnitGuildNSW newsletter…)


    @witty_knitter I wouldn’t get selected. I have no interest in being a judge, only in judging the judges themselves. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits …with Tweetdeck open prominently. Yeah, right. πŸ˜›


    @redambition I’m pretty sure that’s the exact decor of my Grandma’s dream bathroom.


    My physio plan has 10min of foam rollering my right quad. So 10min of plank position (which I can barely do) + EXTREME TORTURE PAIN. #fml


    @pixel8ted I’m breaking it into two 5min sessions to avoid dying.


    “No, Petey, I’m only *mostly* dead. It was the foam roller that did it.” http://t.co/FQhikhJW


    @knitterjp I may need a Miracle Pill to get up off the floor.


    When I swing my foot back and forth, my knee ticks like a metronome. It’s my new very lame superpower.


    @lemon_lime They had Draco and Euclid when I was home at Christmas. I kind of love it.

    @liedra Even though I don’t eat it anymore, I won’t hear an ill word spoken about Golden Grahams, aka The Breakfast Cereal of the Gods!


    Second time today! Now for physio. (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/irf3XnkY


    A very strange, oddly exhausting, high-tech workout. http://t.co/8WCyIeFr


    @zephyrama Sadly, I know this because my hardcore fan husband was downloading those off Usenet 12+ years ago.


    @randomknits Like I said before – you are a baby magnet! πŸ™‚


    @Gidgetknits @drkknits Most amused me. “If we don’t replenish the population the economy will collapse and we’ll all die!”


    @Gidgetknits @drkknits Riiiiiight. Because we’re running out of people.


    @drkknits @Gidgetknits *finger on nose* Ding ding ding ding ding!


    @drkknits Don’t cry! Don’t cry! Massage? New lippie? Something like that?


    @drkknits Maybe just a bath! Always makes me feel better.


    @drkknits I would, but I’m meant to keep the tape on my knee for 3 days.


    @drkknits He told me to dry it with a hair dryer. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits Hermione the County Spelling Bee Champion to the rescue! Connoisseur .


    @drkknits I am a connoisseur of fine Banrock cask wine.


    @drkknits Just saw this. If I had that hair, I would wear it like that ALL THE TIME. ALWAYS AND FOREVER.


    @knitabulous @drkknits I reckon my new cut is too short. No more top knots for me for a while…

    @knitdra Awww, sweet!


    @redambition It’s because I don’t have children. My mindless drive for expensive handbags has created a criminal black market for them.

    @Helen__H Drool. Is that from Charlie and Co?


    @tashj I know this! A franking machine is what businesses use to print their own postage on envelopes (rather than use stamps).

    Going to see sports physician for official new knee diagnosis. Something has to change.


    Well, this is progress, I guess? Good news is no surgery. http://t.co/dJtFJmM6


    @misswired The X is marking the lazyass muscle that’s not doing its job in keeping patella centred. Taping/brace/phyio to the rescue!


    @drkknits I have to order a special brace. Also seeing physio this arvo, so working from home today.


    @drkknits We discussed some in general, but advised to discuss in depth with physio. The tape feels WEIRD.

    @travellersyarn You mean, like the newsletter? @knitabulous is the new newsletter editor, so I think she’s the best for that!


    @knitabulous I think @travellersyarn is saying she doesn’t think she’s on the email newsletter list?


    @travellersyarn @knitabulous Totally separate. Those emails went out to users who registered on the website – not the newsletter list.


    @witty_knitter @knitabulous At least one IC member had a virus and was sending it out. I emailed to let her know and she replied today.


    Does anybody else feel like quitting the Internet entirely and learning to make chairs or something? Just me?


    I want to be one of those Vickys from “The Diamond Age.” Make handmade paper and rocking chairs for rich people weary of technology.


    @drkknits Dipping candles would be relaxing, I think. Or making shoes.


    @drkknits And then open a shop in Portland. Or Surry Hills.


    @Opheli8 Congratulations! Can you say where? Does it involve ringtones? πŸ™‚


    @drkknits You’re not with Telstra, are you?


    RT @dhgarske: Telstra is planning to slow the speed of downloads using peer-to-peer (P2P) networks http://t.co/chZXdC9n


    @gemma747 Congratulations!


    My ability to climb stairs is getting worse. This knee! I need Mr Miyagi to do that thing where he rubs his hands and resets it.


    @randomknits That’s so cool!!


    @drkknits @randomknits Can I just say, I was HORRIFIED to see him called that in an SMH headline. To a Yank, it’s just so WRONG.


    The @KnitGuildNSW site is back online. Logins will be disabled for the time being. @Kat13v and @SallyPompom – will email soon.


    After the last 24 hours, it’s nice to have a hacker working for me for a change. http://t.co/SFh4gh1Q


    @witty_knitter @SallyPompom @kat13v Admin functionality restored. My husband is the friggin’ best, I swear.


    RT @DannyDutch: This Photo Will Change Your Life Forever http://t.co/VqvcqdJt // @kunaal84 – you should do this at work tomorrow.


    DAMMIT. Rejected at the Red Cross AGAIN! Because of my stupid knee. If there’s any chance I’ll need surgery, they won’t take my blood. GAHH.


    @TwiDJG I have a running injury, had an MRI few weeks ago, seeing specialist tomorrow. Surgery extremely unlikely, but Red Cross adamant.


    @TwiDJG If you’re under investigation and there’s any chance of surgery, they won’t let you donate. Because you’ll need your own blood.


    @TwiDJG Yeah. They actually gave me a permission slip for my sports doctor to sign before they’ll let me donate.


    @redambition I think the idea is if there’s any chance I’ll have surgery in the near future, they don’t want me down a pint a blood.

    @liedra Unfortunately I can’t watch at work, so no idea. Did he get tackled? If they catch, they can run unless tackled or outofbounds.


    @liedra If his knee touches the ground, he’s considered down.


    @liedra Doesn’t have to be touched by an opposing player. If you’re all alone and you catch and fall over, you’re down!


    @Rellarc79 Yes, but man. So expensive.


    @drkknits @lemon_lime Given that I am at work in an office, NO. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits @lemon_lime I think you are overestimating the degree to which most of us give a shit about the NFL.


    @drkknits @lemon_lime You have this weird association of sexytimes and Baltimore that nobody else in the US has. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits Not me. ?


    @drkknits Oh, it’ll just be spam. You’re on there as exhibitions person. You’ll get spam.


    @drkknits Just delete it, I reckon.

    @witty_knitter I didn’t either. Discovered later with @Kat13v’s help that they sent so many it clogged mailqueue. Helped contain it, really!

    After six weeks of great sleep, I was due for a bad night, I guess. *yawn*


    @laimelde Best of luck!


    @redambition I disliked it. If a dude offers me a seat, I assume he thinks I’m pregnant. I wear comfy shoes for a reason and I can stand.


    @drkknits @redambition Article wasn’t about everybody being polite tho. It was about men being obligated to patronise women in silly shoes.


    @drkknits @redambition I mean, it’s not combat. I can stand upright for 15 minutes and I resent it if somebody thinks I can’t due to ovaries


    I dislike slow buses and crappy drivers as much as anyone, but this stroppy entitled chick yelling at him is not improving the situation.


    @drkknits @redambition I still don’t get why respect is men being obligated to stand for us. It’s just tradition. There’s no real reason.


    @drkknits @redambition Sure, men in 50’s took off hat for women. I submit to you that I’d still rather live now and go without that.


    @liamvhogan I save my ire for everybody else on the road who is not on a bus. WE’RE TRYING TO HAVE A SOCIETY, YOU SELFISH PETROL-GUZZLERS.


    @drkknits @redambition I think a man respects me more when he assumes I can take care of myself.


    @drkknits @redambition Disrespect for women takes a lot worse forms than failure to make gallant bow when offering a fainting damsel a seat!


    @Justacogitating I’ve lost the ability to know when I’m using non-standard American English. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits @redambition If all the stupid sheeple on the bus would move down the aisles, I’d happily never take a seat again. #petpeeve


    @redambition @drkknits Sure, as long as “others” on this Venn diagram does not solely consist of women. And we shouldn’t expect it either.


    @redambition @drkknits I just found article patronising in a “aren’t I such a nice gentleman” way. Like “Nice guys” on the Internet.


    @redambition @drkknits Like we’re supposed to thank them for remembering that we’re weak and special. Whatever, lame loser! πŸ™‚


    @drkknits @redambition I just think we shouldn’t reject the stupid stuff (like being called Mrs. His Name) while accepting bits that benefit


    @drkknits @redambition Yeah. “I’m equal! Except you have to pay for dates and drive the car and always let me sit while you stand.” Not fair


    I spotted @Leirith this morning near the cinemas while I was stuck on Hell Bus. Hi Luke!


    My knee started making an audible clicking noise as I went up the stairs at work today. Not. Good.


    @liedra It’s not football like rugby. It’s football as a chess game. After each play, you set up again for optimal strategy.

    @justtaff Meh. Crap. Sports Phys next week, who will probably tell me to quit all exercising. *sigh*


    @justtaff Going by Dr. Google, nothing but physio and maybe taping. But I’ll find out for sure next week.


    @drkknits What did I tell you about hard-boiled eggs? I wasn’t kidding. πŸ™‚


    @redambition @drkknits But that’s fine. Good protein! The point is that you shouldn’t say you’re hungry if you really just crave sweets.


    @GeorgieKnits Not really Aus Post’s fault. There’s like a $9 “security charge” to the US, I’m fairly certain. πŸ™


    Frustration. My @blancomoments induction cooktop has died 6 months out of warranty, and it will cost us $700+ to fix it.
