Portia I’m quite surprise (and hurt) that you missed me as one of the Porchers. I sat on the stairs with the other but now in my legal age-ness I’ve graduated to the porch taking residence in a hammock (too young for a rocking chair yet)

I love that one, and have used it recently with a group of folks who had no idea what I was talking about. Except for one person, who thereby earned my everlasting admiration. 
For those who want to check out the start of that one, here’s the original thread where Joliemom reminded us of the benefits of the Aunt Esther Purse, and a follow-up thread utilizing it:

OK, this has really been bugging me for a while (about 10 minutes, to be exact). For those of you that always nump with approved gear, how many prefer a Trojan, er, Troxel hat?

Is it where cranky people like me sit, looking down upon whipper-snappers and yammering on about "in my day, we had to (blah, blah, blah) … "
I’m so fine with that, if that’s the case.
Am I right?
Question: If one falls off while show numping, is one allowed to get back on and continue? Or are there penalties for that sort of thing?
As to other buzzwords: Toques. Which apparently have to be orange to be worthy of being a true toque.

ah, hobson… but is the loooong release superior to the short or auto release when numping, and will Mr. Hobson comment on that?

As everyone knows, DMK, it depends on the kind of numping you’re doing; but sometimes you’ve just gotta drop those stirrups and do “airplane” with your arms.
in case one of the Pumpkins is reading this
attends Horse Shows attired in a feather boa, and tiara … and then ETBW brings her that special brand of libation …
So, oh-numping expert hobson, must one wear ASTM approved gear while numping?
Hmm I don’t think I want to know what the whole Numping thing is… and if the inverness problem, has anything to do with numping then please… lets leave this as an inside joke! Haha I am soo thankful for anut esthers purse!! just the other day I was listening to some girl complain on how tragic her life was and the phrase “SHUT UP FOO” came to mind. As for peeps… Well I LOFF peeps!! I wish I had that peeps hat, and would pay a 1000000 dollars to try the chippy pippy cake that one of our fellow bb’ers told us about!!

'Nuff said.
It’s too bad the BB isn’t having that outage after all, because between the numping and the DQ’s eating babies, I think you all need to get away from the computer for a while!
