Here's some "chatty" ones that took me a while to understand... : SIL: sister-in-law MIL: mother-in-law FIL: father-in-law DH: dear/darlin' husband OR it may be dreadful husband. FI: fiance DD: dear/darling daughter _________________________ Cricketgrrl's DB listings!

Most are very obvious, but we feel really stupid on the ones we didn't get. For me it was the OEC--I had thought it was a brand or something. Again, thanks. _________________________ Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust~John Webster
