MommyToAshley replied: If you look at the top right hand side of the page, you will see a link to "common abbreviations"... this will bring up a window with a list of the abbreviations.

HTH (Hope That Helps!)

Kaitlin'smom replied: yep and there are some that people use that are not there.. dont ask me know I cant remember what they are right now but when I do I will let you know!

OklahomaSooners replied: O holy cow i can't believe i missed the 'abbreviations link'

THANK YOU!!

MommyToAshley replied:
If you see any or think of any, let me know and I will add them to the list.

Kaitlin'smom replied: I will, I should have written them down! Oh will I am sure i will run across them again. Then I will let you know what they are! Thanks!

supermom replied: Actually, this was a suggestion from Teesa in a post a while back:



LOL - didn't know if you didn't want to use it - giggle - guess you could put heck instead of the "other" word!

OklahomaSooners replied: HAHAHA i like the ' NFH' reminds me of the vampire horrible blood taker at my doc's office!!!

MommyToAshley replied: I missed that abbreviation... I try to read every thread, but it gets difficult..hehe.

I will use heck so not to offend anyone.

Thanks in advance, I'm brand new here and still trying to figure things out!

MommyToAshley replied: If you go to My Controls at the top of the page, then edit your profile... if you put in your Yahoo IM number it will automatically put the icon at the bottom.

HTH
