Hi P.,

I copied and pasted the following info that I found on this site:

On the internet you might come across some of the following acronyms. You can include these in messages to save time with typing!

DH - Darling husband / hubby (or darn husband)

GM - Grandmother
GF - Grandfather

MIL - Mother-in-law
FIL - Father-in-law
SIL - Sister-in-law (or son-in-law)
DIL - Daughter-in-law

THX - Thanks
TIA - Thanks in advance
b/c - Because
IMO - In my opinion
BTW - By the way
OTOH - On the other hand
LOL - Laughing out loud
FWIW - For what it's worth
BTDT - Been there done that
KWIM - Know what I mean?

I can't believe you moved HERE from Boulder! It's so flat here! I am eagerly awaiting the day I cam move to Colorado- It's gorgeous out there... :)

Hi P., I'm SO glad you asked this question, I have been wondering!!!

There may be a job opportunity for me in Estes Park, CO - I was wondering if you just came from Boulder if you have any insights on family life there? My "DD" is 20 months old.

I certainly know how frustrating it can be.

DD, DH, DS: darling/dear (Ibelieve) daughter, husband, son
FWIW:For what it's worth
LOL:laugh out loud
KWIM:know what i mean

For some reason, I'm having a brain freeze. I know that there are lots more, but I just can't think of any. I know that others will help you out.
