Dear CPE,
Thx for the very exciting info. I am honoured to be a card-carrying member.
Does sitting at the computer in my nightgown with chilly bare feet at 1:50 on a Sunday afternoon & not having even eaten breakfast or done my hair or washed off yesterday's mascara fit in with Lumptonian behaviour?
I'd love a personal greeting from the Ambassador
when he's available.In the meantime, sounds like I have a bit of searching & reading to do to update myself on the History of Lumptonia.
Thanks for the welcome!! Take care, Kath (I'll have to think up a suitable title for myself, but that might take a bit of time).
Hugs, Kath

The genesis is that concerning the first major depressive episode I experienced, my wonderful husband( WH) refers to my "Lump person days." His phrase struck a resonant chord and Lumptonia was born.

What fun; would like to understand" is pure Lumptonian, and on behalf of the Ambassador (although he goes by a variety of titles and I'm sure he must be in his cable-wired doghouse at the moment or he'd be greeting you himself), I would like to welcome you as a card-carrying member of Lumptonia.
