I know this sounds a bit 'thick' but is there a list of abbreviations that people use when they post that could be shared with all? Why I ask is that its kinda hard to figure out some of the posts. On my own, I figured out what DH, DD, DS, MIL, FIL and SIL is but there are some that I still can't figure out.
Could you help...oh Forummeister?

DH= Dear Husband
DW = Dear Wife
DS=Dear Son
DD = Dear Daughter
MIL = Mother in law
FIL = Father in law
SD = Step daughter
SS = Step son
Goes like that

I don't see why it shouldn't be infinitely variable. "Darling Husband" one day, and "Damned Husband" the next!
