Reply by quoting the following list and adding the answers in your reply.

1. Your Favorite Thread of the Year - The White Trash thread. Suzy made me laugh so hard at my desk that a co-worker came in to check on me!
2. Thread that has impacted you the most - I will also go with the 9/11 posts, though the Nostradamus one really was the best, to me. I’ve always been a bit spooked by Nostradamus and this opened up a lot of factual sites that I likely would’ve never seen.
3. Thread that just wouldn’t die - The California Clique thread. At last count, how big was it?
4. Thread that you wish had never died - I don’t remember. There were so many.
5. Topic that has given you re-occuring nightmares - I get gout from the helmet threads, and all of those damned Sea Urchin threads.

7. Best username - hitchinmygetalong
8. Most annoying username - everyone be nice!
9. Most inspirational poster - Weatherford

19. Poster who you want to "vote off the island - everyone play nice! Email me and I’ll tell you!

22. Has any - one/thing/topic - changed the way you live? In terms of? Many things have made me who I am today. Are you talking about the bb having an influence? Probably. I spend a lot of time here. There is much knowledge to share and from which we can all learn.
23. In general - how was 2001 for you? Fabulous. And a very “growing” year. I sent Willow to Canada, which was a huge deal for me. I turned 30, which has been fantastic. I started working out and have achieved many personal goals for becoming a better person.

Have a super weekend!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Robby… can I join you and Portia for that drink at Rolex?

Ok… I’ve been contemplating asking this question for about 8 pages now, but I’m kind of scared to ask. But I gotta know… can someone give me the very brief readers digest version of the MJ saga? Seems everyone knows what it is but me. I don’t want ot start it all over again cuz obviously it was a doozy… just want to know what all the fuss is about.

If Dressage is a Symphony… Eventing is Rock & Roll!

[PepTalk]

Just saw my post and I have to correct two things real quick.

20. Should have read 20,000 threads on the same topic, not 20,000 topics on the same thing.

22. The last line should have read: To ALL the servicemembers, I wish you guys a SAFE ride home, not sfe.

My fault!

woah there, Miss Tajuana Lolita Evans - now you are messin’ wit my main man. Like, hel-lo??/ moeha does the jumpers, which for you lost in space eventers is like your showjumping section with more class, finesse and a nicer horse

And for the record, Moesha is only dependent on the Big Juan

[SaddleFitterVA]

I haven’t been on long enough to comment on most of these, but I’m having a blast wasting time here trying to catch up on everything.

Thanks so much to Fairweather for inviting me to the FPP outing, where I got to meet a bunch of you, I wish I could have gone on Sunday night, but I was exhausted. I’d been to a party that didn’t end until 4am Sunday morning .

Now, that whole eventers/hunters/jumpers thing…I WANT to do it all (well, except showing dressage )! But, can’t deal with hanging out for hours on end because you never know when your class will come up in the hunters/jumpers.

Fun crowd, and I’ll try to come to the next outing.
