This may seem dumb but, it would be nice for new people to be able to have a place to look up what some of the abbreviations are that are used here. Such as....DD, DS, SAHM, etc. | ||

DD = Dear Daughter DS = Dear Son DH/DW = Dear husband/wife (and on days when you arent feeling so charitable, you can substitute "damn" for "dear")  Heres a good general guide: http://stason.org/TULARC/child-paren...eviations.html There is always some variation, a lot like dialect, depending on what circles you travel in. | ||
