FDH - Future Dear (or Darling) Husband

I usually like to use SF for Stepfather

I am 71 and I think of myself as a modern woman who gets right in on new things. I am first and often the only one in my circle of friends and family who embraces new technology like PCs, but I guess I am finally getting old. I hate the abbreviations, especially the one for names of the posters. I had no idea what they stood for, I just get disgusted and move on. I would never be able to read a text message from a kid. LOL

If I want to address a poster I copy and paste their ID.

Well, you re down with LOL Stargazer, so you re doin fine!!!! LMAO....
