Cricketgrrl Cricketgrrl BTD Crown Jewel Registered: 10/07/03 Posts: 14080	Great idea, DA. You've covered the well-used and important ones. 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!

Ladywolfe1 Ladywolfe1 Connoisseur Registered: 01/11/05 Posts: 2271 Loc: Ohio	Thanks so much for starting this for we neewbies. 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. _________________________ Ladywolfe's Bistro Listings: http://diamondbistro.com/other/266/seller.html
