henson2 Frequent Contributor Posts: 682 From: Cambridge, MA Registered: Dec 2000	posted 21 August 2002 03:38 For one's spouse or children or relatives, how about: DH - dear husband DW - dear wife DS - dear son DD - dear daughter MIL - mother in law (ha ha, no dear there!) FIL - father in law (ok, maybe DFIL) Then you can say, I'm driving my DH crazy when I hang from the rafters, or some such stuff. Feel better, everyone! Your DF (dear friend!) IP: Logged

flossie Frequent Contributor Posts: 679 From: Registered: Dec 2002	posted 05 December 2002 21:36 hey, thanks everyone�very helpful. (i tried for a few minutes to come up with a acronym myself but couldn't, and i have to go finish an insurance appeal letter instead of trying longer.... well, ok, i admit it, i DID come up with a couple decidedly uncute and COMPLETELY unprintable ones for our so-called insurance company, but i'll spare you!) flossie [This message has been edited by flossie (edited 06 December 2002).] IP: Logged

smiles Frequent Contributor Posts: 150 From: MD, USA Registered: May 2004	posted 11 May 2004 11:15 I've been surfing this site for a few weeks, and just found this page. Incredibly helpful, and looks like it has been a while since it surfaced. This was incredibly helpful as a newbie. I didn't see it on the "welcome to lymenet" links. Of course it might have been there and I totally missed it. Anything new to add? IP: Logged
