Why do you like my username? It’s just my first name and last initial. 
Not that I’m complaining, but it is rather boring and somewhat annoying being confused with the REAL Erin AKA Mother Superior and Chief Cat Herder ALL the time. Sigh. I wish sometimes I got more creative with my username, but now I’m used to this one.
And Kellybird, if you’d actually come to the forums and talk to me once in awhile…

tle and erin. Just because my small frame and large breasts make it difficult for me to find clothing that fits, doesn’t mean that I need hand me downs from someone who doesn’t realize that teal and hot pink should only be found on small ponies and then in very small small doses.
So, what you are saying is that you can control your horses outside of a ring as long as you are able to draw blood from their gums, hmmm? Sounds like a control issue to me - perhaps you should try your hands out playing horses on Real Sex 27

Your Favorite Thread of the Year - Double Jeopardy. I like to see if I can come up with the answers.
Thread that has impacted you the most - The original high oil diet thread. It probably saved my 6 year old TB when I realized that his lack of condition may be due to EPSM (which I always had associated with draft horses).
Thread that just wouldn’t die - The California Clique and Junior clique threads made me twitch. So much bandwidth and, in many cases, so little content ducks rocks thrown from CC and JC members.
Thread that you wish had never died - Too many to mention. I get way too much enjoyment from this BB.
Topic that has given you re-occuring nightmares - Without a doubt the Musical Jumper thread.
Person who posts for no reason but to see their name in lights - Can’t think of anyone; I think that most people just post to get their voice heard.
Best username - ETBW.
Most annoying username - Any name that involves random capitalization.
Most inspirational poster - Snowbird, Weatherford and Portia who are all trying to make a difference.
Poster in most need of visiting a sanitarium - Tie between Colin and Sea Urchin. Of course, VTRider is making a strong stretch run.
Poster whose threads you look most forward to reading - DMK for her ability to have an opinion or comment on just about everything , LordHelpus and Lauriep for their writing styles, and Emmet for her good old commonsense horsemanship. And I’m leaving out too many but I want to save on bandwidth (see above).
Poster who you want to come back as in your next life - Too many to mention. How about any poster who has a great eye for a distance?
Poster who you most want to meet in person - Portia, DMK, Weatherford and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Got to get my courage up the next time I see a COTH hat at a horse show.
Clique that you most want to be a member of - I kind of yearn to join the Baby Green clique now that I have started schooling the soon-to-be 4 year old pony filly.
Poster whose horse you would jump in front of a train for - DMK’s Robbie.
Poster that always puts you in a good mood - Once again too many to mention.
Most Valuable Friend/s that you have gained as a result of this BB - I met Wings, the Winglet, Mr. Wings and Jane Erwin at Devon and had a good time. It involved great food so I would rate it most valuable .
Most memorable event from the BB this year - 9/11.
Poster who you want to "vote off the island - Anybody who persists in the modern “internet shorthand” such as ur for your, etc. Also, ones who delight in random capitalization.
Thing you would change most about the BB - Create a program enhancement that will automatically correct posts using internet shorthand and random capitalization.
What you like best about the BB - the whole diverse community.
Has any - one/thing/topic - changed the way you live? Not really. I switched to an approved helmet about 7 years ago after reading the e-mail list Equine-L. Guess I’m set in my ways.
In general - how was 2001 for you? Started off bad - could not get the mare in foal, Chrissy hurt her eye and my employer was acquired and the IT department was downsized. Improved when Chrissy’s eye healed, the Winged T mare decided to finally cycle and then got in foal, and Thursday I was finally offered a position with the acquiring firm. Which means I get to continue to work in the town which is the home to PEEPS!
Nina
How did the waitress look when you all rolled BACK in?
She looked like she had gotten a really horrible birthday present and was trying to be nice about it.
girl, you know you’re just trying to start some mess.
VTRider is in that preliminary state of confusion regarding her “riding lifestyle” and she’s just overcompensating with her Hunter Princess-ness.
She’s gone outside the box on the cutting horses. It’s just a matter of time before she’s leaving the starting box on XC.
And people, you CAN pick really tasteful and conservative XC colors!

Your Favorite Thread of the Year - hard to narrow it down (being the Gemini that I am), but probably the Christians who ride thread… and of course anything in the Eventing forum
Thread that has impacted you the most - in what way? On a very deep personal level, I’ll go with everyone else and say the Sept 11 threads. On an competitor level, probably the NGB discussions (like to stay informed).
Thread that just wouldn’t die - quite a few of the OT clique threads – if you aren’t part of the joke at the beginning they make no sense.
Thread that you wish had never died - Christians who ride.
Topic that has given you re-occuring nightmares - Can I say most of the posts by Moesha, Sea Urchin and quite a few of Colin’s without being stoned??
Person who posts for no reason but to see thei name in lights - See #5, plus VTRider and Velvet

Poster who you most want to meet in person - Heather, Portia

Poster who you want to "vote off the island - Moesha, Colin, Velvet, Sea Urchin, Feathered Bubblehead, Stupid Child…
Thing you would change most about the BB - Open up Off Course to more OT (yes, I’m a Survivor Junkie… wow! I was able to insert that into a post and the thread probably won’t get closed! cool!)
What you like best about the BB - That for the most part, people can disagree but this is still a pleasant place to come.
Has any - one/thing/topic - changed the way you live? Not really.
In general - how was 2001 for you? Pretty good. Got to go to my first CCI*, but didn’t finish (got the big E on XC). Finally met Robbie!
If Dressage is a Symphony… Eventing is Rock & Roll!
Well eventers would bed hop to if they looked half human
Ack! Sorry Janet! I was thinking of “meeting” in more of a social manner, as opposed to the “Where the hell is the bit-checker?”-type conversation in the warmup ring.
And that reminds me… I think I’d jump in front of a train for your little gray mare. She’s so cute!!!
(Have I redeemed myself yet? )
Your Favorite Thread of the Year
Question for Merry - this thread had six degrees of Kevin Bacon, brought back so many memories, brought old friends back together, brought new friends together and showed just how many wild ho-bags we’ve got here when let loose with a few margaritas!
Thread that has impacted you the most
All the threads about 9/11, but especially the one where we couldn’t find In Why Cee and other “missing” BBers.
Horsey Christians and Paul V
Moesha’s soap opera
Paul V and all those ratbaggy whiny posts about helmets
You mean I have to narrow it down to one person? Oooooh, the pain!
In Why Cee, Findeight
Can’t say that, it would be rude
So many! Weatherford, Dru, Portia’s legal finesse, Linda Allen’s Uber Expertise, and on and on
Darling Colin and Moesha - but only if they share all their news with daily reports!!
Weatherford, Dublin, Portia, Merry and Beezer
Linda Allen
[B]Well I have been fortunate enough to meet the darling Chef (at my own office no less) and Merry. Taryn and I board at the same barn, so I get to see her a few times a week! Khobstetter gave my brother and I our very first hunt seat lessons! AAJumper, Akrogirl and Cactuskate met up with Taryn and me at The Oaks, where we just missed Chef and N2Jumper. Dublin and I are possibly going to meet soon, and as many BBers as possible will be having dinner at Indio!
And MAD and I are on the phone a lot, which introduced me to Alice Debaney which hooked me up with Princess Haya, who is SUCH a doll for everything she did getting our team down to Madrid!
But the list of BBers I want to meet is endless. Everyone I email, everyone who I have posted “with” and pretty much everyone else, as well. Can’t we have a big party at Devon one year?
And Dru has not only become a dear friend, but always keeps everyone here up to date on the latest with approved helmets.
But NOT Dude, although he is not actually a BBer.[/B]
But I already AM in the California clique!
Oh, I no longer do jumpers, only do dressage.
The list is endless!
I can’t narrow this down to one person, I just love my BB friends so much, but I am closest to Dublin
Flashing GM the thong!
I would be a meanie if I listed them - but pretty much everyone here is great
I wish it would play music when you clicked on. Like "You Shook Me All Night Long.
How much I have learned from everyone’s else’s vast experience. Ane the poeple I have met, have “met” online, and have re-met!
I am now even more of a bitch about wearing approved helmets that I was before.
Every day that we are blessed with is a gift.
