dang Coco........where did you find all of those? lol

LOL!

Jeez, and i always thought it ment Darn Husband!

THanks for all those abrev.
I like PUTS - lol!

thanks again :-)

Sometimes it does! It all depends on what they've done lately.

And I thought it was cool to know about a half dozen when I started putering. Now it's like learning a new language.

Did anyone else read about the teens who were helping investigators pretending to be teenagers to trap online pedophiles? In that news article, I learned that POS means "parent over shoulder", to let someone know there is a need to "be cool."

Thanks, Melody, Molly, and Coco: Now I know what people are talking about!

I thought DH ment Does Hardstuff!LOL!!!

Here is a couple more..

:'( sorry

('-'?) HUH?

(-_-) ZZZ

§ my initials SS, neat huh?

Thanks for asking the question Moda127 - I was wondering about that last night.I love the Smileys and Scooterbug, really neat!

Yes, I saw a tv segment on those 3 teens. They have since graduated and a new group are helping. I learned about POS on that show too. And cool could be 'kewl', etc. Like someone said, a whole new language!

KOW, knock on wood , or Keep on worrying

and don't forget my smile :) I put one in almost every post.... :) Kathy

So who started SWMBO ? Was it Wintermoor ?

And if you use accronyms, expect to be misunderstood. Like common names for plants they often have more than one meaning!

OK, I'll be sure to enter that into my 'things to remember ' log.

yup, scooterbug, wintermoor is 'guilty' of that one. I LOVE it!

heheheh , me 2 !

lol, that was wintermoor, what ever happend to him anyway???

Talked to him just a few months ago and he said he was very busy but would be back on DG in the future, I understood shortly. Haven't seen him so far.

Good , I hope he has not forgotten us ;-(

DH - Dear Husband... I need to get me one of those. I've got a really long list of things he needs to do. I've been making the list for 20 years, hope the poor fellow wont be overwhelmed.

I'm right there with you on that one!;)

I always used to think it was "darn" husnad and i do not mran "darn" just cannot say what I thought LOL

It can be either. Depending on what he has done!!

Smart wives call them "hugsbands," and now, what does "UBER" stand for?

Everything about our "Ubers"

Thank you, Darius!
