Puff,

So you're saying it was another typo then?

To go along with the one you left here

that called me a "know it all" but didn't

really mean to? Okay, then.

Sneaking in the back door gets the same punishment

movie-trivia cheaters get. So drop 'em right now!

David,

There are actually hundreds of the buggers!

I only knew the basic ones, but I looked them up on the net.

puffycakes,

welcome home honey. I thought all that time away from me, you might

have grown to love me, but I guess not. I'm crying buckets now.

Whatever can I do to make you see I actually do have a good side?

I knew many of those, but there were others that I didn't know existed. Thanks for the info!

thats what happens when you spend most times in chat rooms

Whammie,
I think I read that too. Also the one where the kid got an F for writing his paper will all the acronyms. Seems they don't know how to form proper sentences without them!

Thanks!!

yes you are, and yes you can.

I read somewhere that thanks to computer lingo, our children no longer know

how to spell or write in complete sentences anymore?!

Funny how advancement in one area leads to deterioration in another?

I also read that they were considering lowering the bar so that more kids would pass?

I do not remember havind so many educational problems back in the day, that the bar needed to be lowered....we just needed to apply ourselves a bit more.  But what do I know?  I have no kids and am not an Educator!

Grouch,

never mind, I just figured it out you smart ass.  Plus you told me what it meant last week.

Is there an acronym for "I'm so stupid?"

Dammit Grouch!!
Now what does GAFL stand for???

pickles,

funny you should say that, TMI is the one that prompted this post,

as Whammie used it a few days ago and I had to ask what it meant.

Being the totally kool Aunt, when I see my niece and nephew on line........

I often make contact.  I am astute enough to dechiper their lingo, and just enough on the fringe that I am not totally out of it.  And just kool enough that these kids know that they have a grown friend they can turn to!

I have no children of my own, so these kids are as close as I will get!!!!

Many yrs ago
I was clueless to internet and chat talk.  Now it seems people use these in general face to face talk.
