We saved the rabbit

Big news all ("new") Johnston fans! If we were living in the 1920's or 1930's and I proclaimed the words "The Rabbit Died", everyone would almost certainly understand what is going on in our lives. You see, back in those days there was a "Rabbit test" to test for certain conditions - take the lady's urine, inject it in some poor unsuspecting rabbit, and then cut the rabbit open and see what happened inside. The results would either indicate a positive or a negative result. 

Thankfully, our conscience is clear: modern medicine and advances in technology have empowered us to perform this test another, far less murderous way. In other words, we have still found out the same information, but we saved the rabbit. 

Oh yes: the result is positive.

Truth be told, we knew this information back around 17 April 2010, but Kat didn't want to spread the word until we had more clarity on things (apparently it's quite common amongst ladies). Well, when we finally obtained confirmation (and made it "out of the woods") a whole lot of extra stuff happened, and we've only slowly managed to recover from all of that - I'll certainly be posting more information as time goes on, but for now this post should actually have landed around 17 April 2010, so it's very late. Sorry!
