    @darthted That does not happen in Deutschland. Here “spicy” = ketchup.


    @j__st I have been known to use cans of cat food in the past. (Now there’s a crazy middle-aged lady stereotype for you…) 😹


    Thanks @wholemilk for a lovely dinner! It’s such a treat to catch up with someone in person. Glad you had such a nice time in Deutschland. ❤️ (And thank you @unixbigot for connecting us!) https://t.co/qwwMCDvwc0


    @gilmae What thing. Not The Thing?


    @gilmae I just meant that I hope you don’t mean the thing that I think you mean, because no, you didn’t.


    @kneekey23 Congrats, and welcome Henry! ❤️

    @SoniaCuff That just made me super homesick. ❤️


    @sliedigaws Thank you! And hilariously I just spotted you on a screenshot my old teammate Igor shared of his dog climbing on him during a Chime call. 😂

    I was surprised to learn that if you leave Australia indefinitely, you lose the right to vote in elections! I had no idea. As luck would have it, plans are firming up for our return next year. Time to update the Overseas Enrollment… 🇦🇺


    @fixatedperson I think so, but I’m already filing in three different countries (including Oz) for 2022. 😩


    @richdevelops I guess so. I still get to vote in US elections though based on my last address there, even though it was 20+ years ago. That’s why I was surprised! And yep, will be Sydney. 🙂


    @Amys_Kapers Thank you! Exciting news is afoot… will have more to report soon. 😉


    @sarah_federman Thanks! Was always a possibility, but work stuff and family stuff have made it pretty inevitable.


    @wholemilk Not where I am!! 😲


    @wholemilk Haha, no worries. Glad you had a good time at the Residenz!


    @Amys_Kapers 😂 Don’t start rumours!!
