Well thanks for answering so quick. I thought it might be Incredible darling husband or (glad its not) Ignoramus .....

IDH? Must have been a slip of the typing fingers. Using "D" instead of the actual word is g8 (great). It can be a stand in when he's "darling" (most of the time) or "dear" (when I want something) or "darn" (when I'm a little upset) or "d*m*" (when I'm REALLY upset)

Well now I have a question for Libbi. You used IDH in reply in one of members blogs which I of course can't find even tho I read it in the last hour. I hope I'm remembering it right. What's the I in front of Dear(darling, doughting, d*mn) Husband?

Yes, Judy in AZ, I did miss the two-worded replies--I wouldn't have known what was meant, either! Thanks for explaining what was going on. Judy in Torrance

Judy in T. What did you miss? Maybe when you were not on your computer, everyone once in a while Anna would have only 2 words on her comment, "bump up" or "bump". A lot of us didn't know what she meant and finally addressed the question which led to other abbreviations and lingo. So Bob the Web Guy on his member blog posted two websites with lingo explanations. Bumping up meant bringing back something that had gone down the road and out of sight. Is that what you missed? Judy in AZ

I must have missed something!!!

Please note that Bob the Web Guy has created a link to a glossary and definitions of posting terms on the top of the first page of the forum categories. This should solve most of the problems of having to search through various posts and topics to find the info.

I am also going to post this note in the other topic covering the subject of abrreviations, definitions, etc.

I have to come clean that I was a bit irritated about it too. I thot I had figured out that it meant to look at the previous entry to see what the topic was but it only worked with one time that I saw LadyRags using it. All the other times, the previous entries didn't really fit what I thot the purpose was. I also admit I just got to ignoring it. I myself would appreciate what you are aiming at LadyRags.

Here's a start to our learning:

http://www.forumpoint.com/terms

anyone got any other great sites for learning this forum terminology stuff?[url][/url]

We're all here to learn aren't we? Sometimes we learn what we didn't know we didn't know!

Sorry if I upset someone... I usually just bump up a posting that I found useful to me or think it got overlooked and is of interest.

I think it is sad sometimes NEWBIES come to this site post a question and then do not get an answer. If I do not know how to help them I try to bump the topic up again so someone else may tackle it. I always find there is a lot that I do not know and someone else comes up with the answer almost every time.

If I know the answers I answer the question and email them from the profile....as well as post my comments here.... hoping the answer is still needed by them.

Next time I will try to expound on the bumping.

I'm smiling as I read this - I still haven't figured out all the lingo; so usually I just type it out.

I agree, Brink. I had to ask what LOL meant. (I found out it doesn't mean "lots of luck," it means Laugh Out Loud!) I had to ask my 30-something son. He thought I'd just landed from outer space! But I am willing to learn. This is my first blogging experience, and will probably be my ONLY one. We are all learning together, I guess. Or at least, a good number of us "newbies." LOL

There is a lot to learn when entering the internet world of forums and blogs isnt it?? The only lingo I had heard of was UFOs
Well, being from Norway it took some time before I got the DILs, DHs, DDs, DSs, DSLs, DGDs and DGSs..and BOMs right It takes a few, but now that I am familiar with them I tend to forget that others may have a hard time understanding what those lingos means Its not to be rude in any way..its just a common, timesaving way to "spell"...and I just forget! And I know if I am spelling in english, I get it wrong a lot of times and every one have to do a guessing game to understand what I am writing
