Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi Annie, I have been wondering where you were and have been thinking about you. Were you the one who had a liver problem, or was that somebody else? I am pretty new here. Anyway I want to thank you for the short list you did of terms; I did not know the ones you printed out before. And now I am wondering if you could do a longer list, like EVERY TERM that is used in this group. That way I could print it out and set it beside me here, and when I encounter one of them in a message, I would know what people are talking about. Loved the ymmv; your mileage may very. My daughter delivers mail and she was always saying what is your ETA? Drove me nuts, and finally I got it into my head it meant Estimated Time of Arrival. They do that a lot at the post office, got to get the job done in a day, and when carriers are having trouble they call in for help. Like say their ETA would be 6:00 p.m. and everybody has to be back to the shop by 5:00 p.m. or the union goes bonkers, so the boss sends somebody out to help them. Right now she is off work till early October because she had a baby boy on July 27th. I watched him and the other two all day the other day while she drove to get her husband from work a couple a hundred miles away. It was fun but I was sure glad when she made it back home, will have all three come October, all day almost everyday......... Carolyn Re: Introducing...

My dh (dear husband) is Ron, and we've been married 30 years this Dec. Our kidlings are Kris, who is 35, ADD (adult dx [diagnosis]), and lives in AZ working for American Express, and Louie, 24, HFA/AS (High Functioning Autist/Asperger's Syndrome Autist), in assisted living and a working man with several volunteer gigs. Rounding out the mix is a tank full of guppies who will remain nameless and Chuckles, my dh's mouthy conure (a small green parrot, like y in the movie of the same name). :)You will see these terms here:NT = neurotypicalNDA = not diagnosed with anythingdx = diagnosisand on my emails sometimes:ymmv = your mileage may varyWelcome!Annie, who loves ya annie@...-- People are lucky and unlucky not according to what they get absolutely, but according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there's HFA and AS, but I think you probably know those. And there's the regular online stuff, like LOL (Laughing out loud), ROFLMAO (Rolling on the floor laughing my a** off), BTW (by the way), and AFAIK (as far as I know). Also dh (dear husband), dw, (dear wife) dd (dear daughter), ds (dear son). That's all I can think of offhand. Anyone else? > Loved the ymmv; your mileage may very.

Well that explains why we get our mail as late as 5 some days, when usually it comes at 10:30 - 11:30. Of course, that's when our regular guy delivers, the early time. > Right now she is off work till early October because she had a baby > boy on July 27th.
